This week’s question to the candidates seeking to replace Commissioner Sam Adams, who’s running for mayor:
In the last city auditor’s survey, which of the city’s dozens of neighborhoods ranked itself lowest in terms of livability?
Jeff Bissonnette : “Gee…I would say that it’s Centennial.”
John Branam : “Oh my god. Hm. Lents.”
Mike Fahey : “Lents.”
Amanda Fritz : “I don’t know. Many of the answers should be, ‘I don’t know, but I’ll look it up.’”
Charles Lewis: “I don’t know.”
Chris Smith : “This is just a guess, but is it Powellhurst-Gilbert?”

Definitely Lents. I recently moved to Portland and had no idea until my car was stolen last week. That's when I was informed I reside in "Felony Flats." Being I just moved from South Florida, I guess I should feel right at home.
What would be more interesting would be scoring the candidates against the outgoing commissioner.
How does Adams fare when answering these same questions?
