This week’s question to the candidates seeking to replace Commissioner Sam Adams, who’s running for mayor:

In the last city auditor’s survey, which of the city’s dozens of neighborhoods ranked itself lowest in terms of livability?

Jeff Bissonnette: “Gee…I would say that it’s Centennial.”

John Branam: “Oh my god. Hm. Lents.”

Mike Fahey: “Lents.”

Amanda Fritz: “I don’t know. Many of the answers should be, ‘I don’t know, but I’ll look it up.’”

Charles Lewis: “I don’t know.”

Chris Smith: “This is just a guess, but is it Powellhurst-Gilbert?”


Answer: Gold star goes to Smith—Powellhurst-Gilbert in Southeast ranked itself the lowest in terms of neighborhood livability. Also in Southeast, Centennial was fourth from bottom; Lents was sixth.

What would be more interesting would be scoring the candidates against the outgoing commissioner.

How does Adams fare when answering these same questions?

Definitely Lents. I recently moved to Portland and had no idea until my car was stolen last week. That's when I was informed I reside in "Felony Flats." Being I just moved from South Florida, I guess I should feel right at home.
