Suppressed "Strike Price" Map
The Portland Bureau of Planning and Sustainability (BPS) literally drew Wall Street a map OF WHERE TO STRIKE BEFORE AND AFTER CITY-WIDE UPZONING

As part of the Residential Infill Project (RIP) proposal to upzone 96% of the Portland, City planners identified every taxlot in the city where the proposal would increase the market exchange rate beyond the 'strike price' threshold. They stashed this document in an orphaned network folder and omitted it from project documents available to the the public through the 'map app' portal

In an era of rent-backed mortgage securities, Wall Street Landlords, AirBnb, iBuyers, Opportunity Zone tax avoidance, and high-tech real estate investment platforms of scale, this illustrates the difference between RIP as a "housing proposal" and an opportunistic Real Estate investment land grab.
And at the global event-horizon of a cataclysmic eviction epidemic resulting from COVID-19, and in a working-class city that is 50% renters, this places a bulls-eye on everyone who lives in the low-hanging fruit of speculative redevelopment - un-protected, un-subsidized, occupied low-income rental housing.
City planners put a 'For Sale' sign on entire communities belonging to the historically marginalized, dislocated, and exploited - AGAIN.

We Extracted the raster data from the city-sponsored RIP "strike price" map that was gifted to real estate specualtors in October of 2018 - giving private equity and Wall Street landlords just shy of 2 years to go bargain hunting in anticipation of RIP's passage in July of 2020.

Here you will see exactly where this city-wide land use deregulation has placed its targets and the extent of the devastation to come. When cross-referenced with mapping of renter-occupied housing, median family incomes (MFI), market-rate affordability by MFI, and diversity index, it is clear that the Residential Infill Project specifically and disproportionately targets already cost-burdened renters and historically marginalized Communities of Color.

See our response to the city's notification that our testimony had instead been archived at the Planning Bureau, within many difficult-to-navigate layers, and under the purview of the agency we are directly accusing of conflicts of interest and violations of the public trust.
