A 30,000 Home Shortfall, Discriminatory Property Rules, and the Belmont Goats’ Future

Today on City Cast Portland, we're talking about the most recent analysis of Oregon's housing market shortage and the latest city auditor's report, which calls out Portland's property maintenance ordinances for unfairly burdening homeowners of color. We're also learning about the return of our sea otters and a search for the Belmont Goats' permanent home. Joining host Claudia Meza are KBOO news director Althea Billings and our very own senior executive producer, John Notarianni.
