It's not that you make mistakes. The problem is that you don't communicate clearly. Here's an example:

They...? Are you talking about the school (I have no idea which school you're referring to. You didn't name it), or are you talking about Trimet? Was the mansion vacant, perhaps abandoned, or was it someone's home? Did they (whoever 'they' are) buy it? Or was it condemned?
Also, the idea that it's "way worse" to demolish one wealthy family's mansion than it is to demolish several middle class families houses is offensive, quite frankly, unless you're implying that the mansion had historic significance. If the mansion was historic, you didn't mention it... which goes back to the whole not-communicating-clearly thing.
Here's an example of how to communicate clearly:

There was a mansion in Oregon City near the corner of _STREET_ and _STREET_, but it was demolished in _YEAR_ so that the _NAME_ office building could be built. Tearing down that mansion was terrible because _REASONS_.
