Interview with Ibrahim Mubarak R2D2
Join Ibrahim Bilal Mubarak and I as we discuss Right 2 Dream 2 and the City of Portland’s plans to remove the Old Town rest area for houseless persons. The Portland Business Alliance has been putting pressure on Mayor Hales and others on the City Council to remover Right 2 Dream 2 from the Old Town neighborhood. Hales has proposed moving the site into an empty warehouse at 320 NW Hoyt for no more than 15 months. It is unclear what Mayor Hales thinks will happen after the 15 months are over however. Commissioner Steve Novick has suggested the mothball prison as a potential short-term housing opportunity. What are the solutions being proposed by the houseless community? What’s next? Join us at 8AM tomorrow to find out.
