Homes for goods blowing it here. Hard to understand, all five County Commissioners are on the board.

After the election, people have to start talking to each other.

I believe also that there must be more setback from the waterway than has been included in the design. At the most, this site should be a tiny home community for vulnerable population, that allows for very little development, and more of nature's landscaping, habitat for wildlife and common space.

If not now, when do we change our values and legacy? There is only now, otherwise it is too late.

Deep-pocketed, out-of-state developers swoop into town, purchase high-quality land, build cheap and nasty dwellings, then sell to out-of-state investors for exorbitant profits, leaving our community to deal with the consequences. Eugene neither wants nor needs this project, in a time when we have so many other vital and necessary projects to pursue!

I am signing this petition, because over development, especially the green way next to the river is causing the rat race here in eugene & is detrimental to the health & well being of our community not to mention all the extra traffic causing congestion & grid lock is making it harder for emergency vehicle to get down river road ! & is destroying the goodness of eugene, besides the people & the neighborhood said no, they dont want any development to happen there = on the greenway ! save the Earth !!!

Good day. A few years back, I had the honor of working with one of the top earning brokers in Eugene- At that time, he shared his educated belief that we were vastly overbuilt on student housing and higher-end apartment buildings in Eugene already, that we had high vacancies and poor building location choices, but the push for Urban density versus sprawl kept the construction booming nevertheless. Ever since my tenure in real estate, I have paid close attention to what was being permitted to be built in Eugene... and it hasn't been "pretty" or smart... Developments that block access to the river and public spaces, multi-story buildings that remove sunset views to established neighborhoods (reducing property values), removing on and off-street parking and all around diminishing the neighborhoods' quality of life, in exchange for behemoth properties that offer little to the landscape and the community's housing needs. Out-of-state developers are the winners here. They win contracts to build on our limited supply of green spaces- They are paid and return home, leaving our community with the sad result. We are done with this thoughtless growth model. Through this method, our community grows without consideration of WHY people love to live here and wish to move here. If you take "Unique Eugene" and turn it into "Anytown USA", you will ruin what is loved about our community, provide nothing of value to our future and in fact harm our current businesses as no longer attractive as a visitor's destination- One should not see the same as what they left behind. Begin seeking conscious placement for development, improving areas already filled with commercial and taller buildings, walking distance to businesses that the residents can support, versus taking away our remaining natural spaces, never to return again. I'm hopeful that those in decision-making positions will see the value in building where people want to live, versus chewing up natural habitat and ruining what they pr

Accessible natural landscape and the arts of all kinds are what make places memorable and great for all who inhabit and visit them. Plowing down trees and field next to the riverfront is not a wise or popular choice from the standpoint of economic value as well as environmental responsibility. I do not approve of the use of this land for housing development and parking lots.
