It would be useful if the media would ask some of the questions you raise here, particularly since Chloe Eudaly, candidate for Portland City Council, has made "affordable housing" her cause. Who exactly gets to be first in line for this affordable housing -- Friends of Chloe, should she get elected?

It reminds me of Diane Linn promoting her Proud Ground program last summer at a housing meeting in East Portland. A woman who was presumably white raised her hand and said she had applied for Proud Ground but gave up after she never heard back.

Only then did Linn admit:"Truthfully, it's for people of color."
