After a Vietnamese restaurant in northeast Portland shut down on Sunday because of an odor complaint filed anonymously by a neighbor, local and state leaders are pushing back on the city’s “smell” ordinance.

Here’s the original article I came across bout Pho Gabo closing.

And it looks like Multnomah County will be suspending the ordinance after public outcry.

    I’m guessing no one took even one second to realize what an odor code would actually do because as described, it’s immediately obvious.

      It definitely sounds like a “No wait, not like that” reaction to the obvious consequence.

        I didn’t read the article but I wonder if this was malicious compliance to draw attention to a bad law.

    I think I speak for everyone when I say I don’t mind what Dong’s smells like.

    I wonder if it was some idiot just upset over meat smell.

        Hopefully they can re-open… also gold star for whomever wrote this headline:

        “City, state leaders think odor code that closed Portland Vietnamese restaurant doesn’t pass smell test”

Welcome to the lemmy.world community for Portland, Oregon!

This community has kind of been empty since it was created, I’m hoping to change that!

Unlike “other” Portland communities you may have seen “elsewhere”, I believe in a “warts and all” approach. You are free to take off your Rose tinted glasses and talk about topics that are dragging our city down.

At the same time, sunset pics, snowmageddon, traffic monster, cones, that’s all welcome as well. Let’s collectively keep Portland weird!

2024 is going to be an interesting year politically with all the changes to city government, I will attempt to tag political threads with a [Politics] tag and encourage users to do so as well.

Other than the lemmy.world restrictions on spam, copyrighted material, and adult material (USE that NSFW tag!), there’s only one real way to get in trouble here:

  1. Don’t attack other users.

It’s OK to go after Teargas Ted, it’s OK to say Rene Gonzales is a fascist, ACAB, BLM, whatever floats your boat (WEFYB).

It’s NOT OK to attack or diminish another user. Feel free to disagree, you can point out the many ways you think they’re wrong, just don’t start throwing perjoratives AT OTHER USERS.
