The Portland Planning and Sustainability Commission agreed last week to start adding a series of provisions to the city's comprehensive land-use plan to ward off the ill effects of gentrification.

Many of the provisions were proposed by an ad hoc coalition of 22 community groups now called Anti-Displacement PDX. The coalition proposed an 11-point plan aimed at preventing the further displacement of low-income residents and people of color from their neighborhoods due to gentrification, and pushing the city to provide more affordable housing.
