This is a site where folks can gather and share information to help fulfill the Envision Eugene pillar — “Protect, Repair and Enhance Neighborhood Livability.”

In 2020, the even broader threat of House Bill 2001 looms. Learn more here and become engaged to ensure your neighborhood determines its own future.

I am new to Eugene (from the East Coast), living in SW Eugene. I have an interest in the issues being raised about the South Willamette Special Area Zone. I wanted to make sure that other interested people have read the NY Times 4/17/2016 article BUILD, BABY, BUILD regarding San Francisco’s like problem, though a bit more complicated there. They are having the same struggles, balancing the need for more affordable housing, while maintaining sustainability and quality living for the residents, and all the other issues that arise when planning smart growth.
