Veracity’s StreetTalk Podcast
StreetTalk attempts to dig deep into the Portland area’s ever-changing communal landscape through multiple interviews that fully plunge into a specific topic. No longer a small backyard community, our downtown core is expanding as neighborhoods evolve to welcome a multitude of new residents. Our growing pains will be highlighted through interviews featuring topics concerning real estate & development, infrastructure & building, homelessness & community, and more.
Episode 101: The Eastmoreland Project — George Beard
Today, I’m launching a podcasting experiment to get everyone the facts about the proposed Historic District (HD) in Eastmoreland. My family and I have lived in Eastmoreland for 10 years and I’ll begin by saying that I am not on either side — YET. That’s what this experiment is for. I hope to highlight both sides of the issue, switching off every-other-week between pro and anti-HD sentiments.
In this first episode I interview George Beard who is a retired PSU professor and 20-year resident of Eastmoreland. He happens to be pro-HD for reasons extending far beyond the reaches of our neighborhood. From his point-of-view, the HD is our neighborhood’s last line of defense against a city that will stop at nothing to change the fabric of each of Portland’s unique neighborhoods — if that’s what it takes to keep up with the relentless migration of new people to our state.
The Hunger Project
Listen up! Our second StreetTalk immersion focuses on hunger. Did you know that when rents increase hunger increases? Hunger is a real estate concern and it’s running rampant in Portland and surrounding areas. 75% of students qualify for free or reduced breakfast and lunch in east Portland districts. Hunger is a year-round problem that must be addressed now, not just in December.

The Eastmoreland Project
We’re kicking StreetTalk off by paying special attention to the highly heated battle regarding the proposed Historic District in Portland’s beloved Eastmoreland neighborhood. In an attempt to present just the facts to Eastmoreland neighbors and other communities considering an HD as a response to over-zealous development, we’ll spend six weeks examining all sides of the issue. After this six-week series is over, we’re open to discover where the street takes us.
