There are too many damn unruly dogs in this city

First of all, I have dogs. They are not unruly and I trained them.

Second of all, this city has way too many unruly dogs. In my unit there’s so many dog owners who will act like my bull terrier is dangerous and scary…then their little yappy chihuahua will be the one that actually lunges and barks at my dog, which scares her bc my dog gets scared easily . I had the same happen with a German shepherd that lunged at my small bull terrier, which again scared my poor little pig.

That being said, the amount of untrained and undisciplined dogs in Portland who live in apartments and walk around is concerning.

Is this people who got dogs during COVID and are stuck with them?

Or is there an epidemic of shitty dog owners?

Like why are you letting your dog jump on me as I’m trying to cross the street?

No I don’t want to pet your oily and SMELLY golden retriever.

Someone’s dog shat in my apartment elevator lobby and others pee on the rugs all the time.

Also I could argue most people should NOT own dogs if you’re not willing to put hours and hours into training, discipline, correction of bad behaviors and proper handling.

Doesn't that look yummy

Not! This pizza was courtesy of a mottoes who couldn't find my order at first and take a look at this mess, I doubt highly that I'm ever going back to one motto's, this is absolutely ridiculous. And if I was one of the owner of this business I would kind of take a step back and consider what your business is doing your sauce is lousy. Your dough crust is doughy or hot and your customer service people they're fair at most. I guess the bottom line is I'm not going back to a mottos. There's plenty of other businesses that will have better food and probably better prices, so take this for whatever you want, I don't care.

Shutting down half of Franklin Street this morning.

I'd like to thank the dumb fucks who shut down the left lane of Franklin Street at 8/830 am while everyone's trying to get to work. As usual, no signage to warn people to change lanes, just a clusterfuck at the the Congress Street light that made me 20 mins late for work. Looked like they were painting the road--obviously a necessity during rush hour. 🙄

Add Maine in the description of this sub!

Doing so might curb some of the Portland, OR posts

This is more of a suggestion and less of a complaint, but it could definitely be framed as a complaint bc the other Portland posts are getting more frequent & annoying!

Yards at Union Station / Guardian Management

Has anyone had issues w/ this place/management ? I wanted to share my experience

PSA* pee and poop (HUMAN AND PET!!) all over this property AND elevators. ROACHES!! Broken elevators, BLACK MOLD! Stolen packages!

Ever since Doug and the new management company took over, this property has become an absolute disaster. The place is increasingly filthy, maintenance requests disappear into the void, and the roach problem has gotten completely out of control. It’s honestly embarrassing to charge people this much in rent while tenants are dealing with pests and getting ignored when they ask for help.

Doug acts more concerned with excuses than actually fixing anything. Residents constantly have to follow up multiple times just to get basic responses, and even then nothing meaningful gets done. The difference between the old management and this new company is insane — this place went from decent to stressful almost overnight.

Hallways and common areas feel neglected, communication is terrible, and it’s obvious tenant satisfaction is no longer a priority. Multiple residents have been complaining about the same issues, so this clearly isn’t a one-time problem.

If you’re apartment hunting, save yourself the headache and look elsewhere. New management completely ruined what used to be a solid place to live.

Arthritis is Brutal Today

My arthritis has been worse than normal over that past week and today I'm in so much pain. I can't hold a fork and I can't go for a walk.

This f-ing blows.

How's everyone else doing?

Downtown Parking City Council

Does anyone know if the city council meeting tonight will be discussing the proposed plan to increase metered hours and Sunday parking? Personally, this plan feels like a punishment to Portland residents and businesses. From what I’ve heard as well, no one thinks this is a good idea.

Red pilled Ryan at it again

This time putting his hands on a senior Black woman as she’s exiting the bus, shoving past her, saying, “Watch it, watch it,” so he can film homeless people doing nothing at the bus stop again. He’s escalating, and this is not okay. I did contact gpmetro about it.

URGENT: Does anyone have a spare room that they are looking/willing to rent for 1-3 months @ a reasonable price (starting this Thursday, May 14th)?

Hi Everyone. I’m new to Reddit and this is my first time posting. A friend of mine (who’s a long time Reddit user) suggested I try looking here for help. He believes the Reddit community is naturally helpful, generous and resourceful enough to help me where traditional resources have failed.

So here is a little about myself and my situation (he said to quickly give an overview in case people only had time to briefly skim over the key details):

# ABOUT ME:

\- My name is Sean.
\- I’m in my mid-60’s and I am active and stay very busy during the day.
\- I just started a job doing on-call front desk work at medical buildings.
\- I am easy-going and easy to get along with.
\- I am respectful of people’s boundaries and personal space.
\- I have a 13 lbs. grey cat (see picture) named Maude who stays inside and wouldn’t leave my room (she gets along with other cats and dogs).

# MY SITUATION:

\- I desperately need a room to rent for 1-3 months (that I can move into this Thursday, May 14th).
\- I was set to move into a rent-controlled apartment at the start of this month, then the DHS program I applied through lost its funding and was terminated.
\- My current landlord gave me an extra 2 weeks in my current apartment (which ends on 5/14)
\- I have money saved and I work so I’m obviously willing ace able to pay rent (even if it’s higher, or much higher than my rent control unit would’ve cost)
\- I am have a new Case Manager in a new program now and they’ll have a new place for me within 3 months.
\- I have a storage unit and would bring VERY few items with me
\- I use public transportation and don’t currently have a car (and don’t want one).
\- I actually enjoy the bus/max rides so don’t worry I won’t ever ask you for rides.

NOTE: I really could make just about anything work at this point. I just need to have a room where I can sleep, that I can also keep my cat in with me (during the day when I’m gone). I won’t be in the house much at all, as I’m out and about most of the day working and running errands.

Thank you for taking the time to read this! I *would really appreciate the opportunity to meet you in the next 3 days and see if we would get along well* and could possibly work something out.

**Please message me through the Reddit App if you have something that you think would work. from there, I’ll be happy to give my phone number and contact information to anyone who has a serious opportunity.**

Who has the right of way at this intersection? Cars continuing on York or cyclists continuing *in the bike lane* onto Casco Bay Bridge?

Red arrow = bike direction of travel
Turquoise arrow = vehicle direction of travel

Extra credit: who (if anyone) should use a turn signal?

Asking for myself, as a bike commuter who nearly got hit by a van (not the one in those Google Maps photo) who IMO cut me off, but am I wrong? There could be a counter complaint from a driver about being cussed out by a cyclist.
