Portland is iffy. Right now 4/12 city councillors are DSA members, but by no means revolutionary in their politics. They are slightly better than average libs. Portland's DA was a progressive but got turfed out for a Republican "tough on crime" guy. Former progressive city council members have been literally framed by the police or just faced massive smear campaigns. The mayor is a trucking company CEO who's trying to give extra money to the shitty police department that they didn't even ask for while at the same time cutting the parks budget.
"Pay $500k to get access to the executive branch" is so on the nose. They are dancing in the endzone.

It has been my experience that city leaders reflexively accept the false narrative of shopowners and do awful things because of it. (For example: the center-running bikelanes on Valencia in San Francisco.) Or just rip out bike lanes.
Also, as a rule, shop owners always think they lose business from bike lanes. Incredibly frustrating.

You telling me people used to like the troops less than now? We're embarrassing our ancestors.

There are also carve-outs around city population specifically so it doesn't apply to Beverly Hills and around the number of rail stations in a county so it doesn't apply to Contra Costa County.
It's the most nothing burger of all time.
