Updates to the Homeless Camping Ban, Housing Pod Costs, and More State Sandwiches

Today we’re talking about the Portland City Council potentially rewriting the daytime camping ban to get it through the courts, and the cost breakdown of the tiny homes built for Safe Rest Villages. Also, we dive into our mailbag to find some new contenders for Oregon’s “official” state sandwich, and to consider one of the biggest reasons local restaurants are struggling. Joining host Claudia Meza on this midweek roundup is City Cast Portland executive producer, John Notarianni.
