Just how much have the streetcar, the South Waterfront development, the ongoing snafu over police/fire pensions and the Oregon Convention Center cost and will continue to cost Portland in the decades to come? I've been wondering for years but I've never had the time, talent or know-how to figure it all out. Fortunately, Jack Bog has all that and, in a series of posts, he's got some bleak news for us all.

Can this city really afford a Sam Adams mayorship? Is there any way we could get Bud Clark back in there? Could I at least get one of those "Bud Clark is still my mayor" bumperstickers?
