To a hammer; everything looks like a nail. To a racist organization; everything looks like a white supremacist.
In every city the rents and values are going up pushing the poorest out first then the higher incomes until only the well off can afford the rents.
It has been happening all through the Bay Area for decades now. Standard sized homes are going for $900k-$3M depending on location.
“The NAACP said the policy will make it tougher for owners of brick buildings to get loans “
As if your insurance agent just hands out polocies without doing inspections or having any idea of the building quality of the property?

If there was an earthquake, and the buildings collapsed, they’d whine about not being warned that the buildings were likely to collapse.
Someone should tell the NAACP to stfu.
The Bell Curve....
Because Physics izz Waciss
Yeah, and we can tip the island of Guam over too. So don’t mess with us.
And we are worried about these people when the shooting starts?
Many years ago I was told of the demolition of an old brick school in Fresno, Calif. When the wrecking ball hit the wall thousands of individual bricks hit the ground. The same thing would have happened in an earthquake. I doubt the bricks cared whether there would have been white, black or Mexican kids inside.
“City officials say the ordinance approved in October is part of an effort ultimately aimed at upgrading old buildings to withstand an earthquake, though seismic upgrades likely wouldnt be required for at least 20 years.”

“Posting warnings to cover our rears so that we can’t also be sued if something happens.”
Have they blamed “Biblical literalism” yet? You know, since no Black person has ever in the history of the world interpreted the Bible literally![/sarcasm]
Damn, these people are stupid.
The same racist NAACP scum would be the first to scream and call racism if the buildings collapsed during a minor earthquake.
Before the Civil War, there were no complaints from black people in Oregon, because they were barred from entering the state.
2 years ago they upped the chance of the mega quake from 14%-17% in 50 years to 20%. Late last year, after a series of quakes, they upped it to the 50% in the next 50 years. That is significant.
Unfixed or not replaced, the Quake will condemn these buildings and anybody inside.
As a side note, chances of the quake hitting during a slow slip event are increased. A slow slip started may 8th 2018 and runs 14 months.
Earthquakes are racist too!
They are so stupid, the left has written them off as idiotic but a reliable plantation vote so now the Democrats are now importing their next slave class.
The CP in NAACP stands for Colored People. Sounds kind of racist to me. They should change the name of the organization to the National Association for the Advancement of African American Humans. Or NAAAAH.
Just forget about it then. Leave the buildings alone and let them collapse as they may. I don’t care about saving people who are this stupid.
Keep Oregon white, yo.
These NAACP types are nutjobs.
What are they going to complain against next? That the snow on Mount Hood is white? Or that the name “Hood” is a macro-aggression because it reminds blacks of the KKK?
