The lobby of the U.S. Nat'l Bank building (designed by #Portland royalty: A.E. Doyle!) sits EMPTY all the time.
99% of locals have NO idea that it exists! We've got to ACTIVATE these spaces! What could go here? Bar/restaurant with indoor/outdoor seating? It's on the TRANSIT Mall

I end this year with one overriding conviction:
Despite trials, tests & challenges, this is not a time to sit on the sidelines - it's a time for resolve, determination & hope.
We must push back against despair & find solutions to make a meaningful difference in people's lives.

I have just warned global leaders at #COP27:

Our planet is fast approaching tipping points that will make climate chaos irreversible.
We need urgent #ClimateAction.
