I think the opening of the street is a good thing. Now anyone that drives through the two park blocks will see Occupy Portland to their left and right, which will only bring awareness to Occupy Portland. And it's a slow block with the Elk in the middle. I see this as a very good thing.
He sounds pretty fucking reasonable to me.
Practical, compromising, kind - transparent, humanitarian.
I am not even a democrat and I support the way he handled this.

I refuse to shop in Portland as long as the "occupy" protest continues. It is not safe downtown.

dumb-ass anarchist mayor. His "discretion" caused ALL of the problems.

This guy does not have any balls, never mind he is gay so we all know he does not have any.

What a reasonable mayor - I love that he recognises "legitimate concerns about growing inequality" :)

As a huge supporter for the Occupy Portland movement, I understand and agree with the mayor on this one.
