YOur right. Can't type worth a darn and to make it worse, can't see what I type.

The "housing shortage" was caused by previous government zoning stupidity by Portland and only in Portland. Elsewhere in the state is there any shortage of housing? Destroying the value of some housing does not solve any problem (if one exists at all.) I wonder if the "shortage" is actually a case of a shortage of qualified buyers who have wasted their time and destroyed their ability to buy a home by borrowing a fortune getting degrees in women's studies and African-american history. Unemployable people can't buy homes of any kind - unless we want a repeat of the 2008 economic collapse.

I understand your concern, but I believe we have to much seashore for our mobility. I have often wondered what if American's en masse showed up in some Central American country and just took over. Sort of a Galt's Gulch. :)

My true thoughts are unprintable. Certainly, some local flexibility is desirable to ease the housing shortage. However, to outright ban single-family swellings is absurd, as well as disgusting.

Trump's wall might be the actual door closing. I favor it to stop illegal immigration, but it concerns me that it may be used in the future to stop people from leaving.

They will have to 'build a wall' to keep people in.

From the U.N. web page on Sustainable Development, Agenda 21 (yes it actually exits) paragraph 7.5 on Improving human settlement management and promoting sustainable land-use planning and management. The gate of the corral is closing. Force Americans into small communities. Then see all the other restrictions that will be placed on the people.

lol except no by the proles in this case, they just fall in line

“...large homes are divided...”. Just like the scene from Dr. Zhivago when the doctor returned to find his spacious home full of folks and their minders thanks to the good folks running the Communist revolution in Russia.

Once this zoning goes into effect it could backfire on the state government of Oregon. The cost of purchasing into those complexes could skyrocket. People would leave Oregon for other states. If that happens the democrat legislature could enact similar draconian laws like California to stop residents from fleeing the state. Democrats are really no different than the Communists of the former Soviet Union. Ayn Rand's philosophy is the polar opposite on limited gov't. The residents of Oregon should wake up and stop being "Sheepeople".

Great. I live in Oregon. At least I live in a very small town, La Pine. I live in a single family home that we paid cash for on a one acre lot. The population of La Pine is under 2,000, but quickly growing. So it will be a while before we have and apt bldg next door.

All Oregonians who vote for open borders should be required to sponsor at least one illegal migrant family and pay their expenses until they find work on their own.

I think they might as well require that all oregonians who want open borders accept and sponsor at least one illegal migrant family, or two single illegal migrants that sneak across the border. They should have to cover all "resettlement" costs also. Same with Washington state and California.

Sounds like what an invading ET might do. Recalling Stargate episodes 2010 and 2001.

Right in line with the UN's Agenda 21 plan. Create more densely packed housing, supposedly for "fairness" and "efficiency." Supposedly this is to protect the environment from human encroachment, and to enable the state to deliver services more efficiently.

In reality it is all about control and population reduction. A pandemic moves fast in high density populations. Oregon, lately, appears more amenable to adopt fascist practices. Beautiful state, but I want no part of it.

So what's all this nonsense for?
Packing (soon to vote) illegals into places?
Or is me dino just paranoid?

I hope they realize that this constitutes a taking of private property, i.e. the values of existing single-family residences, for public use, without just compensation. The Supreme Court just weighed in and indicated that it will invalidate such takings in future.

We the living. It won't be long before large homes are divided to fit more families, complements of the state. It's all about fairness and equal access......and control.

Wasn't that "19"84?

Yep, trying to get more dependent voters within the city limits...tells me they knew what they have been doing all along...stack the cities, make them dependent and they will vote demoncrap.

Thanks for theinfo.. The effect is to limit or prohibit single family housing.
"1084" here we come.

It appears to allow multifamily anywhere and not allow any area to be defined as for single family only - which is what has been required for lower density (higher value/utility) housing. In the past property values have always suffered when multifamily land use is allowed in a development.
I don't want to buy/build a house when an apartment building might be built on the lot next door.
Portland has been a place with idiotic laws regarding land development for 30 years. Now they are spreading the idiocy to the entire state (except in towns less than 25,000 at present.)

Does this bill/law prohibit single famly housing on a building or is it to allow for multiple dewllings on a building site?
Anyone know?
