1. Housing Displacement: In reality, the Portland Gateway project creates
roughly 300 units of safe affordable housing while displacing about 40
degraded slum units. The Many Rivers project displaces no housing.

2. Free Store:  It is difficult to comprehend why anyone would object to
this, given the creation of multiple affordable units and the revitalization
of under-used, low-density land.

3. Peace House does awesome work, but that area is a blighted, bleak magnet
for drug and prostitution activity.  Alan Arthur of CCHT is making good
faith efforts to include Peace House in Gateway plans.  Developers have also
graciously said they would not resort to eminent domain to acquire the
property.
