It's a house with a lawn that people have been camping on for months. It's a huge community effort. Basically the city wants to demolish the house to build apartments. It's a very explicit case of gentrification. And people in Portland are very ready to resist cops. I would have said there's no way the house is coming down, but Ted Weeler was pretty agro on twitter so its up in the air. It'd be pretty gnarly for the cops to tear gas protesters there because it's in a neighborhood.
