Also can you describe the plan for “stimulating “ citizen involvement by using diverse media? <br />Can you document the involvement of our local universities and colleges of planning 3 acres of public land adjacent to E <br />Briarclliff? <br />I believe that these are legitimate questions informed by Oregon’s Goal One. <br />Had Goal One been practiced Lane County and Eugene would have discovered that our neighborhood is small but unique in its <br />exemplary affordable housing for senior adults and those with mobility support needs. Had Goal One been practiced, Lane <br />County, Homes for Good and Eugene would have assessed the rich social capital of the neighborhood and taken steps to <br />conserve the wellbeing that arises in the neighborhood. <br />The irony is obvious. Lane County Homes for Good purchased 3 acres of open space for the public purpose of providing <br />affordable housing to those in need. Homes for Good has sold our public owned property to a private interest for the purpose of <br />providing market value housing. Even the profit Homes for Good realizes from the sale will not entirely be used for affordable <br />housing with plans os using the proceeds for building a new administration building for Homes for Good. The irony of course <br />being that if our neighborhood simply expanded upon what it is currently doing around social care on Homes for Good public <br />lands, we would be providing exemplary demonstration of affordable housing for people with mobility support needs and other <br />social supports. <br />2 <br /> <br />
