VANGUARD IS HIRING INTERNATIONAL EDITOR
In Nov. of 2021, in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic, Portlanders took another hit with the announcement that the Lloyd Center shopping mall might be closing its doors for good. Many mourned the assumed closing of the mall, but the announcement proved premature.
In Dec. of 2021, Tom Kilbane told the press that he had a goal to revitalize the mall in two years, but since then the press has been mostly silent about this process—until now.

Leivian’s business, Floating World Comics, has been around for 16 years and was a staple of down town Portland, where they offered “not only main stream genre comics but also… independent comics, underground comics, self-published… and interna tional comics,” according to Leivian. Leivian held out for two years in downtown Portland, but ulti mately realized that his current path was unsus tainable and he could no longer wait for things to fix themselves on their own. He had to act. Dreem Street was started in 2007 when Mast and his friend Matthew Chambers decided to ex change art between the two of them via mail, and then turned it into a business. They have done mostly mail orders with pop-up shows in New York, Los Angeles and even the former Floating World Comics space in Old Town, Portland.
“The pandemic hit, and so a lot of people panicked, thinking [Lloyd Center was] clos ing, and then people started leaving,” said Eric W. Mast, the owner of Dreem Street, a shop in the Lloyd Center. “It was basically just a bad ru mor, and the news of its [Lloyd Center’s] death was greatly exaggerated.”

Leivian went on to say that the owners hinted at moving the local art-centric businesses to a particular part of the mall, but at the moment
“There is, like, a two-year period right now where they’re offering these reduced rents for local businesses,” Mast said. “It’s definitely a specific moment in time, that’s kind of why I feel like it’s an interesting thing to get involved in just because it might be very temporary.”
Many people “missed the follow-up story,” said Jason Leivian, owner of Floating World Comics and new resident at Lloyd Center. “That a new owner… stepped in to essentially save the Lloyd Center from demolition.”
While Mast never had plans to open a space, his experience living and working with other artists during COVID-19 made him long for an artistic community. So when the opportunity to lease the space in Lloyd Center presented itself, he jumped on it. “It was just this opportunity that doesn’t ever happen, where I would just be probably bummed if I didn’t do it,” he said. For differing reasons, both of these busi nesses needed a place to call home, and with the rise of inflation and everything trying to return to business as usual, artists and small businesses struggled to recover or even to re locate. “What made Portland?” Leivian asked. “You know what it is, and it’s always been—art ists. And what allows artists to do what they did in the past? It was cheap rent… If you wanna keep Portland weird, keep the rent cheap.”
While the owners have not nailed down the exact timeline, local businesses—specifically art-centric businesses—are taking the leap and are excited at the opportunity the space holds. “The longest lease they can offer right now is two years,” Leivian said. “But the goal for those two years is to essentially do what we’re do ing now, which is revitalizing the retail space… Once that phase is done, I know that the own ers have a five to 15-year plan, which probably does involve transforming the way that this space is used. We don’t know what that entails, but I know that they have some very big ideas.”
Yet many buildings downtown sit empty be cause it seems that landlords would rather have an empty complex than lower the rent on their units, with seemingly one exception—the Lloyd Center.
future plans are just speculation. As of right now, however, all the artists are excited about the space. “It feels like the sky’s the limit,” Leivian said. “Like whatever you can imagine. Come do it at the Lloyd Center.”

Things in Portland are very much not back to normal, and Portlanders are far from happy with the state of their city. Yet so many are trying to return to business as usual while so many others are still hurting. Leivian said that he lost his passion for do ing the work he used to love so much, until the Lloyd Center came along and reinvigorated his work. “It took something to re-energize me,” he said. “It took something for me to get inspired. I needed a new project, you know, to dive into, and that’s what this new store is. I feel very in spired to make something here.” Leivian and Mast both have big hopes and dreams for their spaces. “In my wildest dreams, I wanna see more and more of the local busi nesses that I love in Portland moving in here and bringing all their energy,” Leivian said. “We’re going to do comic shows down on the first floor, big art exhibits, pop-up art exhibits and Hollywood Theatre already reached out to me, and they have this 15-foot inflatable screen that they do for movies in the park. So we’re gonna bring that here, do some movies in the mall… I feel like it’s just beginning, like all this has happened in the last, like, six weeks.” While the city still has a long way to go on the side of east Portland, at least one might witness some hope, a light in a difficult and dark moment in history. Leivian said he hoped to see a new rush of cre ative work in the wake of the pandemic. “You imagine that a lot of people and artists did a lot of reflecting during that time on what’s im portant to them and what’s valuable to them in their lives,” he said. “So I hope that we see just a great outpouring of art now that we’re able to come out and express ourselves again and see each other again.”
“Everywhere else in town when you’re looking at rent for com mercial spaces, most places have gone back to pre-pandemic lev els, right?” Leivian said. “The narrative is—pandemic, it’s over, we got the vaccine, so we’re just going to say things are back to nor mal and hope that everything falls into line. But I didn’t feel like that was congruent with reality. And then I look at a place like the Lloyd Center… they’re offering affordable rent, understanding that we’re in a different situation. That things are not back to normal.”

INITIATIVE
While the ramp at Burnside Bridge is a great start, people feel there are other parts of the city which should also be made more accessible to pedestrians, bikers and the disabled. “It’s complicated because a lot of the access points by PSU are controlled by the city of Portland or the state of Oregon,” Penner said in regard to parts of PSU’s campus, which could be improved in this manner. “A lot of changes and infrastructure isn’t something we have the ability to do. The big thing that did improve is that we got a protected bike lane on Broadway, so it’s separated from traffic. So any additional protected bike lanes would increase safety on campus.”
When asked about his thoughts on Multnomah County’s initiative to create more bike paths and accessible ramps instead of elevators and stairs, Penner said, “I’m not familiar enough with it, but in general, it is great and adds to safety. It’s a huge plus for our students and staff.”
Regarding the ramp at Burnside Bridge, Transportation Commissioner Jo Ann Hardesty stated in a record by BikePortland, “I see the city’s role of making sure that we are walking our talk when it comes to climate mitigation, when it comes to access to the water, when it comes to making sure that pedestrians, bicycles and walkers and rollers are safe on any new bridge that will be within the city of Portland.” Construction on the new ramp is expected to begin in 2025.
For those in the PSU community who are interested in biking on the new Burnside Bridge ramp but don’t have a bike of their own, Bike Hub could serve as a valuable resource. Bike Hub is an on-campus organization which offers bike rentals as well as free self-service repair stands where students, staff and faculty can work on their own bikes with guided instruction. “We offer two different ways of renting bikes,” Penner said. “One is long term rentals, called Vikebikes, for $45 a term. This offers lights, lock and a helmet, and bike secure facilities, and we instruct people riding the bikes on how to lock bikes safely and how to ride bikes safely. We also run the BikeTown program, which is the orange bikes on campus. We offer a one-time $20 credit—about a few rides, as each ride is around two to four dollars—for any student. For those who qualify for financial aid, it is free. We also sell permits—$10 per term—for access to our indoor bike parking facilities. We have several locations around campus.” Penner noted how the size of the biking community within PSU has decreased since the pandemic started, with less people being on campus nowadays. However, despite the impact of the pandemic, there are still lots of people within the PSU community interested in biking. According to Penner, approximately 1,000 new Bike Hub members signed up in the last year alone, and Bike Hub is currently renting 80 bikes to students on a termby-term basis. In addition, approximately 550 people are taking advantage of their indoor bike-parking locations.
Bike lanes are not the only way to make the city safer. “There could be more protected crossings,” Penner said. “Protected crossings are places with more lights, signs and signals. One such area is the ‘T’ intersection between SW Broadway and SW Harrison Street where it is a high traffic area but less clear indication of signals or signs compared to some other areas around the campus.”
CITY RAMPNEWAPPROVESPORTLANDOFBIKE AIMS TO GET ACCESSIBLE BIKING INTO GEAR AIDEN TUAN BIKE LANE AT BURNSIDE BRIDGE. TANNER TODD/PSU VANGUARD
PSU Vanguard • AUGUST 17, 2022 • psuvanguard.com6 NEWS In an effort to meet eco-friendly targets and increase accessibility, the Portland City Council voted in July of 2022 to support a ramp to the river and create more space for biking on the new Burnside Bridge, a major city bikeway. The goal of this initiative is to allow rollers and walkers to safely access the Willamette River. For decades, biking has been a popular way to get around Portland and Portland State, and with the new initiative bikers in Portland will have even more biking options and be able to easily access the Willamette River for a scenic riverside ride. According to an article by BikePortland, the original plan for this ramp included stairs and an elevator, as this would have been more cost effective. However, a group of advocates including The Street Trust, Human Access Project, Bike Loud PDX and Disability Rights Oregon spoke out in favor of a ramp, writing letters and testifying to express their support for a design which included a ramp. While the ramp is estimated to cost $90 million, it would provide a more reliable option. Elevators are not always reliable and stairs are difficult, if not impossible, for many people. With its strong community of bikers, plenty of PSU students, staff and faculty are sure to make use of the new bridge. Daniel Penner, supervisor of an on-campus organization called Bike Hub, said, “Off the top of my head, I would say about eight to twelve percent of our community are bikers.”
Johnson and Schnitzer have worked together in the past to turn the Wapato Jail in North Portland into the Bybee Lakes Hope Center, a referral-only transitional shelter that has a number of contingencies to enter. Anyone that is a billionaire or even ultra wealthy can hardly be considered altruistic enough to be a philanthropist, especially since the wealth these people gain is always at the expense of the working class, regardless of whether they inherited their wealth or not. With Johnson’s TV ads having a primary focus on the houseless in Portland, it was no surprise to find some links to the dark money group People for Portland. Dan Lavey and Kevin Looper, co-founders of People for Portland, have been helping with the Johnson campaign as political consultants. Wheelhouse Northwest and Gallatin Public Affairs, firms owned by Lavey and Looper, received a combined $75,000 from the Johnson campaign back in December, while also making a combined $300,000 in contributions to the Johnson campaign to date Working with an anonymous dark money group with a misleading name should be a cause for scrutiny, especially considering that the group seems to be made up of a bunch of wealthy business owners who just want to get more of their way at the expense of the actual people, contrary to their ridiculous name. Johnson has also received massive donations from those in the timber industry, which shouldn’t be a surprise based on her past record of voting against climate change legislation and herself being a timber heiress. Her connections to the timber industry also reveal some sinister connections—most notably her past support of Timber Unity in their opposition to cap-andtrade bills in 2019, which famously spurred the Republican walkouts in 2019 and 2020. While Timber Unity claims to represent the loggers, truckers and other working class rural Oregonians, members of Timber Unity have been linked with the events of Jan. 6, the QAnon conspiracy theory and other far right groups such as the Proud Boys, Patriot Prayer, 3 Percenters and the Oath Keepers. Though Timber Unity hasn’t endorsed Johnson as a candidate, these past connections shouldn’t be forgotten. Keeping the fossil fuel and other environmentally harmful industries alive for the sake of jobs won’t matter much when environmental decline continues to create worsening and unsafe working and living conditions. While Johnson’s pro-choice views are drawing ire from conservatives and the religious right, her support for legislation regarding transgender sports bans will make her feel right at home with transphobes on the political right. From crashing her car by rear ending someone at a red light and claiming legislative privilege to escape the consequences of her actions back in 2013, to crashing TEDxPortland as an unannounced speaker earlier this summer, the timber heiress is certainly shaking things up.
It’s that time again. Nov. 8, 2022 is election day and we have already been beaten down by the onslaught of political ads for several months now. With our current Governor Kate Brown on the way out, we in Oregon are about to be home to a gubernatorial race that will be watched by the rest of the country. The Republican candidate, Christine Drazen, was a member of the Oregon House of Representatives from 2019 until Jan. of this year. The Democratic candidate, Tina Kotek, was a member of the Oregon House of Representatives from 2007 until Jan. of this year, where she was also the House Speaker from 2013 until she left office. Last but not least, we have the fictitious Independent candidate. The unaffiliated party candidate running for Governor is Betsy Johnson, who claims that as an Independent candidate she is going to force the Democrats and Republicans to work together. While both Tina Kotek and Christine Drazen will bring out voters based on the letters next to each of their names, the candidate running as Independent is the one that is drawing a lot of attention, and for good reason. So who is Betsy Johnson? There is a lot to unpack with this question. Regarding her political career of the last 20 years, Betsy Johnson was elected to the Oregon House of Representatives in 2000 where she stayed until 2006 when she was elected as a Democratic State Senator, holding that position until resigning in Dec. of last year to focus on the gubernatorial election for Governor of Oregon. While Republican politicians are using her former position as a Democrat in the Oregon Senate to attack her Independant status, her stance seems anything but Democrat, let alone Independant. Johnson claimed in one of her more recent ads that she will move Oregon forwards by being loyal to the people rather than any special interest. While this statement seems to say that she won’t be beholden to anyone but her constituents due to her independent status, a look into her fundraising reveals that she is the most likely candidate to be loyal to special interests in the form of her donors. While both Drazen and Kotek have raised around $5 million each, the Johnson campaign has raised over $10 million. With a lot of these donations being large cash donations from CEO donors, I am not sure how she can say she will be loyal to the people of Oregon. Nike co-founder Phil Knight, who has often made donations to Republican candidates over the years, has donated nearly $2 million to the Johnson campaign. While fans may be wishing for him to be the next owner of the Trail Blazers, I am not sure how it could be considered a good thing that the billionaire co-founder of a notoriously unethical company could donate $2 million to a candidate who claims she will be loyal only to the Oregon people—unless she means wealthy Oregonians, of course. Some would call these donors special interests. A look at the Oregon Secretary of State campaign finance site shows that all of the campaign donations made to Betsy Johnson, or any other candidate for that matter, are there for the public to see. Billionaire Tim Boyle, CEO of Columbia Sportswear, has donated about $400,000 to Johnson as well. Jordan Schnitzer, deceptively named philanthropist and NIMBY president of Schnitzer Properties, has also donated $125,000 to the Johnson campaign.

While some candidates possess more hateful views than others and are more than happy to share these views publicly, the unfortunate truth is that our entire political system is an oppressive structure that will always favor those who are already benefiting from the fruits of capitalism while the rest of us starve. Running as an Independent to set yourself apart from the other two parties gives an illusion that things will be different, when in reality a vote for Johnson would be the same as a vote for corporations and special interests, rather than a vote that would help improve the lives of the increasing number of people that are suffering in this state and nation at large.
