some of them, allow apartment

We need to close down Valley River

Center again. I work there. That’s

where I caught Covid the first time

last month, amongst many of my

coworkers. Security doesn’t keep a

count on heads. They don’t care if

someone isn’t wearing a mask

properly, or if at all. People don’t

care about social distancing and

wearing masks, and corporate for our


Page 33 of 464

brand, told us that we can only tell

customers to keep their masks

above their noses at the door. If they

take off their masks, we can’t do

anything about it because our brand

is afraid of the “confrontation.”

The USA was founded on God,

Family, Education, and Progressing

Communities. In the last year, the

USA has stop, stripping our youth

and community from everything they

knew, everything they believed, and

everything they were taught, as it is

being liquidated daily. The COVID-

19, and riots being watched on TV’s,

seeing their communities in Lane

County and surrounding areas be

torn apart by others that do not even

live in the city. What kind of message

do you think that they are perceiving

from the events that are unfolded

before their eyes in the last year? do

you think that positive is going to

come out? No, I foresee only

negative, because the youth does not

have anything to believe in anymore,

nor do they have activities to secure

their lives. The youth the


Page 34 of 464

preschoolers and even adults are

now overwhelmed with their thought

process resulting in confusion,

anxiety, frustration resulting in a

possible fight to flight. School Is

number one in our children’s lives,

can you remember back when you

were in school and you were home

sick? did you think you were going to

miss something or lose ground you

worked hard on to get where you

were in one’s social growth. All

stability has been taken away from

all youth, children and even adults.

School the core of one’s social outlet

finding themselves has been taken

away. A year gone by now, and

youth has not been given any

opportunities like sports, clubs,

outdoor activities, school, and no

outlets for them to express

themselves and get to know how the

world works, and unable to

communicate with others limiting

everyone's social life. This is going to

become a concern immediately when

boredom sets in, and they seek

adventure. Unfortunately, these

adventures are going to be negative,

they are going to find people that will

break the law by going out to play,

and when I say play that is not in the

sense of sports, clubs because there

are none, resulting in kids getting in

trouble because there is no

guidance, there's no stability, there's

no normalcy, that is all a bad format

for the future. The kids are our future

we need to act fast in keeping the

interest of our youth before we lose

them, and they slip through the

cracks as they find the wrong way in

life because right now there is no

way of life.

to relocate 2 - Weening able-bodied

My biggest concern is the small

businesses that are struggling to

remain open, due to limited

capacities and the no dine-in ban for

restaurants. Second biggest concern

is the fact that gyms are closed so

many people cannot workout now

which I think will lead to a decline in

mental health for many. Third

concern being continued workplace

closures, layoffs will lead to people

1) Making useless cops not useless

should be the #1 priority. Strings of

theft have occurred throughout the

'burbs, including my own, and often

with security camera footage (my

own and others I've seen posted on

Nextdoor). The Eugene PD doesn't

do anything about it. I call to report

crimes, get told to create a case

online, make a case, and that's the

end of it. With my cases I've set up, I


Page 68 of 464

have always included Dropbox links

to security camera footage. I am

notified when those links are

accessed; not one of them was ever

clicked on. I've haven't had a cop

show up in person to my house yet

to discuss the video footage of

various crimes I've recorded on my

home surveillance system, including:

Breaking into my car on my property

and stealing ~$150 worth of items,

and Mailbox theft up and down the

entire street when COVID checks

first went out. Nobody would come to

investigate, check for prints, talk to

neighbors with cameras; they are

paid to do nothing helpful from my

perspective. They seem to instead

have spent months investigating

politically motivated 'crimes' such as

when a few kids were pissed off at

the injustice of Floyd's murder. Given

the recent events at the Capitol, can't

say I blame 'em for acting out. Police

inaction on real crime, combined with

the growing prevalence of drug-

induced homelessness to which it is

intimately tied, has led my wife and I

to decide that Eugene is no longer a

place we want to reside, particularly

because we are thinking about

having kids soon. It's not a town we

see as improving; building hotels for

the Olympics doesn't solve the ever-

growing homelessness and crime

rates. We're currently looking at

selling our home this year to fund a

home purchase & move to

Washington state. 2) Financial

incentives to bring more

restaurants/bars back to the

downtown area once all the

homeless have been cleared & kept

out. The deterioration I've seen take

place in just the past year or two has

been phenomenal and hard to

believe. 3) Fiber or high-speed 5G


Page 69 of 464

Internet, available everywhere and

not just around student apartments

located downtown. You'd make this

town a remote work hub if you could

just do this. Since I've worked from

home full time for about five years,

I've inquired with various ISPs and

local initiatives several times over the

years and have just heard absolutely

no progress being made to bring

Internet speeds here up to 21st

century speeds.

increasing faster than the cost of

higher taxes is coming from those

Spak1/13/2021 03:07 AM

1. Help those of us who lost our work

start a new business or get

reemployed. 2. Help people who had

already started a small business to

recreate it or build it back up. One of

my family members owns a sole

proprietorship landscaping and

handyman business he just started in

2019. By March 2020 he was out of

business. Big landscaping and/or

maintenance companies have been

able to keep their profitable, lucrative

contracts with Eugene's business

properties such as medical centers,

large stores, office complexes and

rental apartments. A lot of those

larger companies also received

federal funding in 2020 through SBA

and PPP. But our smallest

businesses were destroyed by the

pandemic. That's where you should

focus City funding - help the small

businesses that couldn't maintain

stability while bigger companies have

thrived. I also believe you should

never just hand people money. Offer

services instead. Offer a hand up

instead of a handout. We have


Page 114 of 464

already learned from multi-

generational poverty that handouts

don't help people in the long run.

Getting people employed again and

helping our smallest businesses gear

back up should be the City's priority.

3. Address the income disparity

between government workers and

the rest of us. City of Eugene

employees didn't take a financial hit

during the pandemic like those of us

who lost our jobs did. I had to borrow

money this past year to pay my

property taxes! There were no City

salary reductions to compensate for

Eugene residents who can't afford

our taxes now. There are no layoffs

from City administrative offices such

as the Finance department, Human

Resources or the Information

Services division, all three of which

contain your highest paid employees.

Meanwhile, the City government is

still paying 12% into the Public

Employee Retirement System

(PERS) for its employees! That is

shameful. PERS employees used to

pay their own 6% employee

contribution which was matched by

their government employer, the City

of Eugene. But now, instead of

paying just the 6% employer

contribution, the City (ie: the

taxpayer) pays the employee

contribution as well, which is a full

12% of each employee's salary into

PERS! Worse, the City also pays into

other retirement plans for it's very

highly paid employees. While so

many tax-strapped Eugene citizens

are poverty-stricken or at risk of

losing the homes we've worked for

our whole lives if we don't become

re-employed, we should not be taxed

to pay for the 6% government

employer contribution as well as an

additional 6% for each City


Page 115 of 464

employee's personal contribution into

their retirement accounts. City

Council and Eugene administration

should immediately reverse the

policy that forces taxpayers to pay

for what should be each City

employee's responsibility to pay their

employee share of their own PERS

retirement package. Are you

concerned about what will happen if

you reverse this obscene double

payment policy? Do you think your

overpaid employees will quit? Not

likely. But if they do, it's not a

problem; there are plenty of us out

here who need work.

TellEugene1/13/2021 02:11 PM

As a mother of two young children

who have had no socialization with

other children since March 2020, I

am concerned about what ground

they've lost in their social

development. By the time their

preschool reopens (fingers crossed

this will be by Fall 2021), and by the

time resources like library storytimes,

music classes, gyms, etc open up

again, they will have lost quite bit of

ground in terms of social

development. Even taking a trip to

the grocery store will be alien to

them! I would like to see the City of

Eugene (likely through Parks and

Rec) create very small play-based

classes for toddlers and pre-school

aged kids (even if they're held

entirely outdoor in parks or open

spaces) this spring and summer to

start helping these kids reenter the

world. They may need a gentle bridge

between pandemic isolation and

incredibly helpful if the city could help

My short & long term concerns for

Eugene & Oregon as well, is the lack

of value to human life. This stems


Page 135 of 464

from the drug & alcohol culture that

has been so prevalent in our area for

quite some time. Nearly every crime

or tragic accident I see on the local

news is drug or alcohol related.

There has been very little

enforcement of drug laws in the past

& w/ recent changes in state law,

changing felonies to misdemeanors

w/ less funneling into treatment, I'm

sure things will get worse w/ more

crime & homelessness. Just in the

last 2 weeks there were stories of a

drunk mother who killed her 13 year

old daughter when she crashed her

car, who received a mere 3 years & a

suspension of her license. An even

more horrifying case was of a couple

who starved their 2 year old to death.

They only received 6 years each.

And of course there are the many

who have committed murders in our

City & State who will be allowed to

die of old age in our prisons even

after taking completely innocent lives!

This cheapening of life is what is

threatening the good people of our

beautiful City & State.

Equal enforcement of the law, not

special suspension of the rules for

politically favored groups. If one

group has to get a permit to

demonstrate, ALL GROUPS have to

do the same. We clearly have a two-

tier enforcement system. If they can't

see the abject irony of 'taxing new

housing construction to build less

expensive housing' I doubt they'll do

anything sane.

1. Depoloticize. Stop scaring us with

the overcrowding of hospitals (which

obviously sucks, but gets “debunked”

in those areas where it isn’t the

case), and focus on utilitarian

kindness. No one loves wearing a

mask, but it doesn’t take away our

rights, it ensures common decency.

2. Consistency. For example, Either

the restaurants can be open or they

can’t. Help businesses establish

plans for alternative food distribution,


Page 143 of 464

don’t keep opening and shutting

them down “based on metrics” which

rely on testing numbers. 3. Get kids

back in school! How does that look?

I don’t know, maybe every teacher’s

dream of smaller class sizes. Maybe

more like morning and afternoon

kindergarten: half the kids, half the

time, twice a day. Everybody in

masks and appropriately spaced. Let

them have recess outside with

masks, one class per area at a time,

but let them play. Send lunches

home so no one has to eat on

campus. Practice good hand

washing!

Honestly, Lane County Public Health

needs to get their act together with

respect to the vaccine roll-out. They

have not been transparent at all and

often lie to people about what is

going on. Example. A friend/family

member of mine was scheduled to

get their first COVID-19 vaccine.

While we/they were on their way,

they received a call that all of sudden

there were no more dosis available

and that there was more than 100

people on the 5th floor in line to get

vaccinated. However, people who

were at LCPH told us they were on

the 5th floor and said that this was


Page 160 of 464

not true, and that nobody was there.

Transparency and access are key to

this and LCPH, unfortunately is

Eugenefamily1/27/2021 10:58 AM

Adequate ability to provide mass

vaccination clinics. The online

registries are poorly designed. There

isn't any place to add information

regarding, I'm an in home care

provider, our family is a multi-

generational family with three

generations, one is disabled but not

registered as disabled, one has

severe asthma. According to the

online registries no one in our

situation will be allowed a vaccine

until the very end. The three children

6,8 and 10 cannot attend schools

until the 4 adults are vaccinated. Two

of the adults in the home are

routinely exposed to the general

public because of job demands.

Those two adults have had direct

exposure to the virus and had to

quarantine because of the exposure.

We need help to continue to do our

jobs.

Jeremy1/27/2021 10:59 AM

The most urgent concerns is that

they keep saying that we are in the

extreme risk category despite the fact

that nobody is getting sick. We need

the restaurants and everything else

to open back up. There is no

difference between eating inside or

outside. My concerns are that all of

the small businesses are going out of

business because our governor is too

stubborn to admit that we are not at

high risk.

1.) Providing enough quality

way that calms nerves, from the right

sources, so everyone chooses

themselves to get it. "Not feeling

pressured by the Man" they dont

trust. 2.) Providing free tests/

vaccines/ food/ shelter/ free

counseling & services with actual

accountability in place for the

homeless humans Too many have

died this past year. 3.) Keeping

Eugenians buying local and the

farmers markets open. Small

business support. Everyone, myself

included is buying from Amazon thru

the mail. Maybe incorporating some

tie between small businesses and

the mail services so the entire cost of

delivery is not placed on the

consumer. That's why I have Prime-

free delivery. But I hate myself for

shopping there so much when I know

my purchase could keep a real

business owner afloat.

Anonima1/27/2021 01:44 PM

Those who've lost income to the

extent that they cannot provide

themselves and their families with

food, shelter, and medical care,

along with those whose small

businesses risk closing because of

COVID-19, need robust assistance.

School-age children and college

students need to resume their

educations and social lives as quickly

as they can safely do so. Those

individuals who, uncritically

consuming propaganda and ill-

founded conspiracy theories, resist

common-sense and scientifically

sound measures to thwart COVID-19

and protect themselves and their

families, need to be persuaded to join

the fight and restore our community

to health.

Concerned Member 1) Homeless - stop calling them the


Page 172 of 464

1/27/2021 01:44 PM unhoused. The homeless issue is not

a housing issue. It is a drug issue, a

mental health issue sometimes

brought on by drug use and a “hand

out” issue. There are MANY

homeless in Eugene from outside of

Lane County as well as outside of

Oregon. It has become a national

recognition that Oregon is, by in

large, a state to relocate to as a

homeless person. I have spoken to

local law enforcement that

acknowledges this fact. We only

support and encourage the homeless

issue. We do not correctly address or

treat the issue. In my industry I know

many, many individuals that have to

travel into Eugene and other parts of

this state. They no longer enjoy

coming to Eugene or Portland. They

say it is dirty, it stinks in the

downtown areas, it is not safe. I

know of one associate that had his

son change college choices from

Oregon to another state due to a visit

to the college and all the homeless

issue surrounding the community.

Our community is no longer

something to be proud of. This issue

is what we are known for now. No

longer do people see beauty. 2)

Unemployment - I work for a large

manufacturer. We are in constant

need of production employees.

However, many choose to stay on

unemployment, stay on food aid, stay

on housing assistance. We do not do

enough to assure appropriate

provision of services to those who

truly need the help. We make it too

easy for individuals to abuse the

services. My employer has actually

lost employees to a pay raise. The

pay raise took them out of eligibility

for government assistance so they

quit. What happened to working to

better yourself. I have spoken to a


Page 173 of 464

number of local business owners that

experience the same issues with

general employment. We keep

making it easier for people to rely on

government assistance and make it

more difficult for private sector

businesses to run an effective

business. We instead continue to

make decisions to grow the problem

and perpetuate the problem. I know

my employer could not get

employees back to work after the

federal assistance in unemployment

because they preferred taking money

from unemployment rather than go

back to work. Our unemployment

departments could not even

effectively track this abuse. 3)

1) Sense of community - not just the

unhoused but also the hurt small and

large businesses, hurt school

children, lonely elderly, community

meeting places like Hult Center,

YMCA types 2) Infrastructure -

improve parks, streets, clean up and

invest in downtown (not just

Hayward). We look like a community

for all if we are seen actively

improving and maintaining common

spaces 3) The unhoused are

concentrating up and down the PNW

I5 corridor and overwhelming our

resources. As the reasons for being

unhoused are shared across all of

the USA, so should the whole US

share in the resources of addressing

our unhoused. We can alleviate

some of the angst toward the

unhoused by not disproportionately

funneling more public funds to

handling unhoused issues that come

up. Little Eugene can't support the

unhoused of its own, nearby towns

*and* many that come from across

the country. I and others would like

to see tax proposals to specifically

help some unhoused issues. I would

vote to support substance abuse

detox/rehabilitation centers with new

$ instead of taking it away from other

state needs. In addition to more

middle income housing, there can be

recognition of more affordable

housing already existing in other


Page 175 of 464

parts of our state. As one example, it

is a greater financial burden to house

people in Eugene when nearby

Albany costs less.

high density does no one (the

good. The path we are on is not

helping anyone effectively.

Having potential carriers who are

and on the road to having success in

their lives. We need to be more

effective in separating the two groups

and not allow the travelers to stay

and suck the life and safety out of

our community. Government that is

more supportive of business. Not

adding any more taxes, Please!

businesses must be at the ground

floor of these housing developments,

otherwise, you are creating a block of

land that no one(unless you live

there) has a reason to go near. A

walkable/livable community has

interesting small businesses. 3)

Prioritize cultural centers for the arts

walls... I am not convinced Eugene is

1. get educators/ school staff

school (this includes PRESCHOOL

and DAYCARE options for children

under 2. I am filling out this survey

because I feel I represent a wider

group of parents with young children

who are really being affected by all

the COVID restrictions. I have a 2

year old and a 7 month old baby. I

am a stay-at-home mom and my

husband is working from home as

our sole income, and we basically

have no childcare options. We were

sending our 2 year old to part-time

daycare, but the center (Madrone

Montessori) had to close

permanently in June. I know MANY

parents in similar situations and we

are struggling. All of our outings have

been taken away.....things like the

closing of the Tamarack Pool which

offered baby swim times, library story

time, Bounce gymnastics, my Barre3

gym studio that offered childcare. My

primary outing with my children right

now is playgrounds, and that's not a

great option in the winter. I have

seen daycare and summer camps

offered at places around town, but

EVERYWHERE I looked, it was only

for children ages 5 and up, or even 3

and above. Long story short, this

demographic of parents that have

small children and either one or both

parents working from home, we need

outings so that my husband can

actually work, which is not going so

well right now with a toddler and an

infant with nowhere to go. 3. Get

1 - The city's leadership is way too

far to the left; there's no room for

moderate views or fiscal

responsibility and anyone fitting

those categories is marginalized.

That's great for Springfield and other


Page 190 of 464

surrounding areas (which are

growing) but Eugene is in trouble. 2 -

Related to #1 but the unwillingness

to expand the UGB and make it

easier to build new single-family

homes will result in the housing crisis

and perceived income equality (i.e.,

housing costs rise much faster than

incomes) to get even worse. This

must change. 3 - Also related to #1

but the City can't continue to promote

a divisive community. Rich vs. poor,

housed vs. unhoused, Black vs.

others, gay vs. straight, liberal vs.

others, whatever. It's the furthest

thing from a melting pot I've ever

experienced in my 56 years of living

all over the U.S.


Homelessness, drugs, crime


My top three concerns for the next 3-

5 years are relatively similar to that

of my first detailed answer.. I am

worried about the ongoing and ever

increasing homeless problem, the

fact that there will likely be

significantly less small businesses

open, and people overall will be less

healthy from being kept indoors 24/7

and not having anywhere to go.

homelessness, as well as services in

function so it isn't a triage/crisis

situation for city and state services. It

would be nice if Eugene wasn't under

Get businesses back afloat. Give

people a reason to move to eugene.

So something about the homeless

(be tougher on moving them from

places, make giving money to

panhandlers illegal like in Springfield,

move all homeless services to more

rural eugene. There should be

enough services there that they do

not need to make trips around town.)

The schools need to be teaching

children and adults better than they

have been in recent years. A major

reason we're having the discord in

this country is because too many

people have missed out on a decent

education. We need to learn how to

think critically and rationally. The

homeless need to be housed. It has

been shown that housing the

homeless is cheaper than not, in the

long run. And no white supremacists

should be allowed to be hired in the

police or the military. It would be nice

if there were porta potties at all of the

dog parks and trailheads.

Business growth Homelessness

Smart city spending


1. Build more housing. Single, multi

family, all of it. WE need more

housing!!! As we get more housing

we'll need more schools. 2. Build

more trails, especially mountain bike

specific trails. The recreational sites

(spencer's butte, ridgeline) are

getting too crowded. I shouldn't have


Page 202 of 464

to drive 45 mins to ride my bike.

Local trails are green trails!!! Local

recreation is green. 3. We need more

substance abuse treatment

programs. At the same time, we as

community cannot allow homeless

populations to live right next to water

ways. So much human waste, both

plastic, and bio, ends up in the rivers

because of the unsanctioned

camping along the bike paths. It's

ugly, and horrific for nature.

off the streets and into some sort of

1: Reclaiming the sidewalks of the

downtown core as a place for

businesses and families and walking,

not as a living room to lay around on.

2: Creative housing solutions to

make sure nobody is forced to

shelter in a makeshift tent city or on

our sidewalks. I frankly don’t want to

see so-called homeless folks on our

downtown sidewalks. The solution

isn’t to say “being homeless is illegal

here, go somewhere else”, it’s to

create a massive number of modest

shelter options, to supplement the

Mission and other current options.

Tiny houses. Yurts. Dorms. Multi-

family houses. I see an example of

this on the west side of (I think)

Hilyard, south of Amazon Pool.

Looks like some tiny shelters, off the

street, with a bathroom (and

hopefully shower?) facility. More of

this! Also, free or very cheap lockers

or storage areas for people’s “stuff”,

so they don’t have to carry it with

them everywhere and litter the

sidewalk with it. 3: THE ROADS! My

goodness. I’ve lived in Eugene 12

years, and it feels like the roads

have seriously deteriorated the past

year or two. Perhaps it’s my

imagination, or maybe areas I don’t

frequent have been seeing more

work lately. But can we please get

the Willamette project between 23rd

and 28th done already? It’s been

years, and that road is just an

embarrassment, it’s like off-roading in

the middle of town. Oak St coming

northbound into the downtown core

has also gotten just awful. PLEASE

RAISE MY TAXES and let’s redouble

our repaving efforts! Thank you :)

it? Better to put MUCH more $ into

education, family & mental health

support. This isn't "being liberal," it's

100% practical, evidence-based. 3.)

Climate. Strong support for bus, for

bikes, for peds. Strong incentives,

make it easy to get around not by

car. I have seen a lot of lectures by

wealthy people about how cool they

are for not biking, conveniently

forgetting that it's extremely

expensive to live close-in, that

people have to drop off/pick up kids,

that not everybody is physically able

to bike, etc. Also: City should not be

flying employees to conferences in

different states! We know it can be

done by Zoom now - it's not as fun,

but we all need to make sacrifices

and not continue to make excuses.

This kind of thing is really, really

noticed by citizens and it'd be great

PR if steps like this are taken -

modeling responsible behavior is

always a good thing.

exists at all. If you have noticed,

government services like schools,

For many years I have believed that

our homeless population are the

biggest concern in Eugene. Everyone

deserves to have a safe place to live

but not all homeless people want to

be helped. I think we need to find

solutions by 1) Identifying those who

need help, and who want to get off

the streets and then do what it takes

to help them; 3) Find a way to help

the mentally ill population living on

the streets - including those with

serious addictions; 3) Crack down on

the criminals who have no interest in

joining society and would rather steal

and live in the bushes than use their

talents for better things. I've watched


Page 231 of 464

crime climb steadily over the last 20

years and do not see enough being

done to stop the thieves roaming our

streets. In the last few years I've had

my car broken into, seen a neighbor's

house broken into and have had

police in my back yard looking for

fleeing criminals. I have no problem

with the many services we have for

people in need but feel that allowing

people to beg and camp anywhere

they want should not be allowed. I

see (and have picked up my share)

the trash left behind by those people

who just move away from it all and

create another pile of trash and have

no problem stealing from others for

what they need. This is very wrong.

There must be a kind, humane way

to address this problem.

whole community. Re-think what

education looks like and how to

support kids. Put mental health at the

top of the list, rather than capitalist

needs.

Shelters, micro housing units,

suitable for kids to ride on city

streets. And add some bikable trails

I'm concerned about the explosion of

homeless people and the increase in

crime. There has been a lot of people

moving around the country and that

has brought a visible increase in

criminal activity to Eugene, car and

home burglary has increased so

much this year. What are middle

class residents supposed to do to

protect their property? The cops

aren't able to do much of anything.

The city council is going to have to

take some firm actions to deal with

the homeless. It is not tenable to

have people going to the bathroom

on the sidewalk in downtown Eugene


Page 264 of 464

and breaking into peoples cars and

homes, stealing packages off their

porches. Many people in this town

are not wealthy and having to deal

with theft is an added burden to their

own difficulties. The current estimate

is that we have over 9,000 homeless

people on our streets, a couple years

ago it was 3,000. Having this many

homeless is a major sanitation and

health concern for this town and they

generate a huge amount of garbage

and dangerous drug trash that is

unacceptable. I'm concerned about

the misuse of city money to change

major traffic artery streets to add bike

paths around town which are

screwing up these streets and

making traffic much worse on

adjacent streets that run through

quiet neighborhoods. The cars aren't

going away they are just being

diverted. Also the amount of cyclists

is so minimal it is a real

mismanagement of funds. The

money should go to repairing the

streets that are full of potholes and

prioritizing programs to get everyone

into more affordable electric cars to

actually reduce pollution city wide

and dramatically reduce the blight of

traffic engine noise. Also stop letting

the city road workers cut down so

many trees in downtown Eugene, its

horrible.

Spak1/13/2021 03:07 AM

For Pete's sake, lower our property

taxes and help us get re-employed!

In the middle of a pandemic, when so

many of us non-government workers

have lost our livelihoods, Eugene

presented us with yet another bond

measure to keep our taxes high for

many more years. As I noted above,

I had to borrow money to pay my

property taxes this year! Yes, yes, I

know - the 2020 bond doesn't create

new taxes, it only extends the current


Page 265 of 464

bond. Blah blah blah. What does that

bond over-taxation pay for? Well, you

know, reading to children in the

library. Computers, printers and

space for students to do their

homework and get on the internet.

Oh wait... That's certainly not

happening now, is it? But I bet the

City is still keeping the library heated

24/7 to a cozy, warm temperature

while many of us who are out of work

are bundled up and shivering in our

beds at night, wearing jackets and

extra clothing during the day. Or

living in our cars because we have to

rent out our homes in order to pay

our excessive property taxes and try

to keep up on our mortgage to

prevent foreclosure, which will

happen as soon as the economy

changes and the banks realize they

can easily grab and resell our

homes. Just because the foreclosure

moratorium will eventually be lifted

doesn't mean those of us without

work will suddenly be gainfully

employed. Most likely the 1% will

take this pandemic opportunity to

lower wages across the board and

those of us looking for employment

will face working for greatly reduced

wages in the coming years. But that's

not likely to affect you government

employees, is it? In this abominable

dumpster fire of a year, the City

should have removed that bond

measure from the November

election. Instead, city government is

squeezing more and more money

from us every month. Heck, the

recent flyers from Parks and Rec are

practically begging people to join

their programs for free, just so City

employees can feel useful or relevant

and stave off the wave of layoffs and

firings that should have happened

during the past year. I'm sure many


Page 266 of 464

of you are well aware that you'll also

be well positioned thanks to your

cushy, high paid government jobs to

be able to scoop up our foreclosed

and tax-auctioned homes. Then you

can rent them right back to those of

us in Eugene's newest economically

suffering class at exorbitant monthly

prices. Thanks for nothing. How

about this idea - Eugene could

decide to eliminate (and return)

property taxes for every resident who

lost employment because of the

pandemic. Then those residents who

are still employed, especially

government workers, can be double

taxed. Or maybe you can all

voluntarily pay for your own

employee contributions to PERS. In

what world is it ethical to tax people

who lost their jobs due to a pandemic

in order to double pay for your

exorbitant retirement plan? Give us

back our City taxes and charge

yourselves more to compensate.

After all, your lives are still pretty

good. In fact you're likely to hugely

benefit over the next few years

because so many of us are

financially distressed. Whatever the

City does, it should not duplicate

resources that the state and federal

government are already funding. You

should not increase cash payments

for unemployment (the State already

increased it beyond what the federal

CARES Act paid for). Don't initiate

new food programs. Food for poor

people is already paid for through

SNAP and other social service

programs. We have Food for Lane

County and locations people can go

for free meals. Don't double fund

meals for children who already

receive free meals paid for by our

local educational systems. (If you

don't know our schools give free


Page 267 of 464

meals to children, even throughout

summertime and now when the

schools are closed, you're really not

qualified to do this job you're being

paid to do, which is to help figure out

how Eugene should spend our taxes

to recover from the pandemic.) In

general, please don't create knee-

jerk policies that throw more money

at people who didn't work before the

pandemic and most likely will choose

not to work after. Put our Eugene tax

money into programs that support

those of us who have always worked

and will continue to work if our local

government decides to support us in

our efforts to get reemployed or

create our own businesses. But

Eugene will probably do what it

always does - toss more money to

people who haven't worked for years

(and have no intention of working) so

they have plenty of cash to buy

cigarettes, drugs and alcohol thereby

making their lives worse and

subsequently requiring even more

help from the government. It's the

poverty cycle that Eugene just loves

to recreate over and over. Woohoo!

What's that? Too much sarcasm?

Too judgmental? Try walking in my

shoes. A lifetime of work and now I

find myself for the first time on food

stamps. Through no fault of my own.

I'm suffering while the federal

government spends billions bailing

out banks, large corporations and

airlines. (Those ultra billionaires who

are making a killing off the pandemic

are going to need those airlines to fly

around while they spend that blood

money.) Meanwhile my local

government screws around trying to

find ways to take and spend

whatever money I have left. (Great

time to give away Parks and Rec

classes for free, City employees!) Of


Page 268 of 464

course I'm frustrated. Angry. I know

it'll be easier for the City to toss more

money to people who have always

sought public support to pay for their

lifestyles. But I'm here encouraging

you to do the opposite, to support

hard-working, responsible Eugenians

who are just trying to get back on our

feet. In three to five years, Eugene

will have helped us and we will again

be successful, hardworking

taxpayers. Or the City will do the

opposite and choose a typical

Eugene approach that creates a

future with many many more people

who don't work, don't pay taxes and

degrade the quality of life in this

community.

• City finances - COVID is

dramatically changing where jobs are

done and how, and where income is

generated and how. As a result, the

taxes and funding mechanisms the

city has set up to fund activities may

no longer work. How the City funds

itself will be a critical issue not only

for the coming year but an ongoing

issue in the future. • The City needs

to re-focus its infrastructure and

zoning to encourage property re-use

inside the Urban Growth boundary

rather than finding new areas to

expand into. It's going to be

increasingly expensive and cost-

ineffective to keep expanding without

figuring out how to more effectively

re-use or re-purpose properties that

are fallow or going out of use - large

scale office space may be a victim of

COVID-19; how could those

spaces/buildings be repurposed

quickly to generate revenue for the

city? A current failure/example is the

Hyundai property on the edge of the

Anything that can be done to lower

and control housing costs (both

renting and buying) in Eugene will

help encourage a more cosmopolitan

populace and a more diverse group

of perspectives in Eugene. I say this

as someone who has owned their

home in Eugene for five years.

Seeing the value of my home go up

is nice, but not when I realize that if I

sold, the profit would only BARELY

be enough to buy a new home. The

increase in home value is essentially

a wash when compared to the costs

of purchasing a home AS AN

EXISTING HOME OWNER.

people for self-reliance, health, and

employers' needs. The idea is to

build human capital which drives

human productivity which then

benefits employers. Again, people

and their personal needs and

knowledge come first. 2. That the

electeds and appointees will not be

able to summon the strength of

character it requires for strong policy

and enforcement of climate

adaptation measures. 3. That

homeless will continue to one of

many problems instead of the big

over-arching problem requiring deep

commitment and long-range policy

changes. The City is paying out a

fortune to deal with this social

problem in many, many ways when it

can be solved with available

overcharging on rent. I lived an hour

outside of NYC in some of the most

even as high as it is getting here and

that's with more amenities and only

1) Community again. In an effort to

slow sprawl, increase infill, and

increase affordable housing, I fear a

degree of "land flight" similar to

"white flight" of the 60s. This time, as

neighborhoods of single houses with

yards get more divided up with little

houses in backyards, more traffic in

alleyways, more population density

than designed for city parks and

residential streets, that households

that can, will simply move just outside

Eugene to get land that *can* have

the degree of privacy/reduced traffic

of the 1920s-1990s house lots. I'd

like to see the city have

neighborhood pockets where there

can be little houses in backyards,

Eugene is special to me because it

reminds me of my hometown, in

community agriculture and other local

People care about the community (as

with mask-wearing).

I don’t think Eugene is as special as

it does. Homeless everywhere, their

trash where they are and have been

and and attitude of entitlement. Not

impressed. I don’t feel the city had

an obligation to house the homeless

nor provide for them. Get a job.

home. No matter how many times we

leave - we come back. You are

always guaranteed to stay when it's

home. It's important to take care of it

to keep it clean, so we can continue

to build and raise our families here,

like I have for 33 years. From

Edgewood to Spencer's Butte to

Churchill High to U of O...To a son

and an ailing mother. The community

has come through for my 10 y/o in

school, and for my mom, a public


Page 338 of 464

servant of Lane County for 26 years,

being forced into retirement due to

health. The community was there.

Eugene is special because everyone

here calls it home and comes

together. What not a better time for

us all to come together, than now.

Let's keep home, home.


Born and raised here. Have lots of

memories here


University of Oregon is what makes

the city different than many others;

the local economy is rooted there.

That is why it needs to get up/running

fast. Eugene Police are now among

the best anywhere. They made really

large improvements over the past

several years and I don't feel they get

the NATIONAL attention they seem

to deserve.

Vibrant downtown (when I don’t get

harassed or feel threatened by the

many groups lounging on the

sidewalk, that is...) The wonderful

UO community. Our amazing local

restaurants, and our incredible art,

theater, and live music scene.

Beautiful tree-filled places like

Spencer Butte, Hendrix Park, Alton

Baker Park, and so many more. A

city government that cares about

things like smart storm drains, sports

for our kids, and outstanding public

transportation (yay EmX, yay LTD!)


The great people who work for the

city and overall care for the

community


We are a small city/big town that has

a lot to offer. Look to the Envision

Eugene pillars for our shared

community values/goals that should

guide our road to recovery. I would

like to see us build on the industries

that are compatible with and

supportive of social/environmental

responsibility. In government, we

should increase our inclusivity and

representation in our public

processes. Eugene has the potential

to be a progressive (not meant

politically necessarily) model

government and community. To do

this, we must find a way to bring

back an environment of compromise

and eschew the divisive tactics that

have become the frightfully unhealthy

new cultural norm. United we stand,

divided we fall. It's as true for Eugene

as it is for the nation.

Eugene used to be a place where I

in Eugene but throughout our country

in some areas. People are yelled at,

hate being in any sort of public

that I wish I lived somewhere else.

always do so, from sports and

be a 'climate refuge' in future...we

live in such a beautiful area - so

close to ocean, to mountains - we've

got the university, even though it is

problematic, it also brings in a

somewhat more diverse group of

people and can be a good resource

for the City. I'm thankful for Tom

McCall and the existence of the UGB

it is a somewhat diverse melting pot.

We've also got some beautiful parks,

should be celebrated.

Unfortunately Eugene continues to

slide into an “action passed, action

complete city.” Mob rule, lies, and

failure to adhere to good order and

discipline are ignored. Case in point,

raising minimum wage - every .25

cent raise, adds $10,000 to home

price. Ward 1 candidate was given

$50,000.00 for her election (best

money you can give to corrupt

government). Subsidies to large

developments and businesses at

expense of home owners. City has

and continues to maintain dog parks

better than no parks for homeless!

the housing problem.

We don't need 10 more pods for a

somewhere safe for 5,000 people to

safely live, whether on drugs or

mentally ill or not.


I am a native here (born and raised)

and I would say it use to be fun. Like

Eugene celebration I remember there

was a big parade, and a after party

that was lots of fun. But now...I want

to say Eugene has nothing special

and it’s just like Seattle Washington

Eugene is home to great progress,

sometimes referred to as a mini

portland. I expect to see the


Page 363 of 464

population of Eugene continue to

increase so it is important that we

stay at the forefront of progress,

reform our practices that uphold

white supremacy and create a home

that welcomes and allows everyone

to live and thrive as their full self.

laural1/12/2021 04:40 PM

Nothing anymore it's grown really

generic.


What makes Eugene special is that it

is NOT a socially integrated

community in this day and age. I

don't know how to improve this area

to be more accepting of other races,

religions, etc but this is the most

narrowminded state/city I have ever

lived in. People here think they are

so liberal - it's a joke. Most have

never lived in a state or city with a

Black population greater than 20%.

What has Oregon got - 1 % Black

population. I did not know the history

of the state before moving here but it

was a shock to me once I heard

about the Klan roots. I asked one

Black lady who was checking my

purchases out at a retail store how

she liked living here. She said,," I still

get stares, people moving away from

me in public places, comments about

my race." I apologized to her for this

gross behavior - and then saw what

it was like to live in la la land here

myself over the next two years.

That's what make Eugene special -

it's living in the dark ages.

Tough question, as I still don't fully

understand how the city ticks and

think that a lot of what's working in

our favor is being an out-of-the-way

university town with hippie

credentials (steady core of jobs but--

as of yet-- not a terrible influx of folks

trying to commute into a bigger city).

I guess you could call this a spirit of

good intentions-- we're all here, and

we're trying to make here a cool

place.

ST1/12/2021 04:47 PM

Eugene is a unique, caring

community for its large size. The

challenge will be to maintain this with

the growth that it has seen and will

continue to see.


A right sized casual city that has

avoided the congestion and misery of


Page 365 of 464

big cities. The environment and arts

(except this is being lost thru

gentrification and impoverishment of

artists and artists venues) and

summers are wonderful. People are

laid back and friendly.

were literally in a hotel getting ready

to relocate to Europe for a year for

my work when the lockdown

happened. We were in CA. For the

last year, we have gone from one

short-term rental to another all over

the West Coast, trying to find a place

to stay. We loved Eugene and knew

we were home, literally buying a

house here. It is a large enough city

to have anything you need/want

while having the convenience of

getting anywhere quickly. The

neighborhoods have distinct

personalities. The people are

friendly. We have not been able to

explore like we want since there is a

pandemic, but out of all the places

we've been this year Eugene was the

place we decided to call home.

It’s multitude community farms and

it’s temporary housing for the

homeless. In regards to the unhorsed

Eugene needs to look to other cities

that have handled this issue well

because we are falling short. We

need to not only help people by


Page 373 of 464

providing basics but also holding

individuals accountable. People don’t

thrive on handouts rather thru

participation. The Eugene Mission

during Covid is an example of people

being helped to help themselves and

has brought people to our city.


Caring for the environment, offering

safe places for the homeless more

than some other places do. Keeping

buildings from being too tall so that

the city, although technically big, still

appears to be a smaller city with how

spread out it is and how much of the

landscape can be seen wherever you

are in town.

I'm not entirely sure. I think there are

some things that make Eugene

unique, but I'm not sure if that's what

is meant by special. Eugene's

geographic location makes it so that

we are an hour from the coast, and

hour from the mountains, and a

couple hours from a metropolitan

city. In that sense, it feels like a hub

for those of us that enjoy the

conveniences of "city life" yet want to

remain close enough to nature to

escape. Eugene is, in fact, a college

town, which is to say that the city is

afforded the many benefits of having

a college, or university - like added

diversity, arts, a good enough

I haven't had a good experience in

Eugene. I don't feel the the city

council has listened to our concerns

nor needs and have seen no positive

changes in what is happening in

Eugene. I wouldn't recommend this

city for a place to live.


Unique small businesses (markets),

art, location and proximity to outdoor

recreation.


Absolutely nothing! Eugene is dirty

and not a fun place to live. All the city

cares about is the homeless. The

homeless issues that Eugene has

could be helped with better drug

rehab/education/assistance/enforcem

ent. Not building tiny homes all over.

The crime in our area is increasing

and the police are overwhelmed. The

fire department is underpaid and of

consistently responding to the

homeless camps. We are looking to

move from Eugene. Fix Eugene

before all the hars working people

leave

Nothing seems very special any

more in Eugene. We used to have

celebrations, people were able to

walk around with little concern for

safety, people used to be more law

abiding and have respect and

appreciation. Now a bunch of

enablers have taken control of the

city and in turn, have lost control. I’m

sure they think throwing more money

at the problem will make it go away

but it won’t. I’m also sure nothing I

say here will change any act of

stupidity the city or state will do.


Beautiful city, but needs to be more

inclusive and promote diversity

education with positive regard for all

populations, ethnic inclusion.

I've always felt that the citizens life

should be the top priority of any

government. But it's sad to see how

the seniors lives in our state are

being marginalized by our govenor

by vaccinating teachers and staff and

making the economy a priority over

the seniors that are dying because of

this virus. Lives regardless of color or

age should come first and not be put

on a lower level then getting schools

back in session or people back to

work. The schools we still be there

and chikdren can still catch back up,

jobs will rebound but once the

thousands of seniors die from not

being vaccinated is final and theres

no bringing them back. Thankyou I

hope this reaches someone with

compassion and they realize we may

be old but we worked all our lives to

give the younger generations a better

life then we have ,and we not only

earned the right to live but it's also

the moral thing to do.

Diverse population (compared to

other areas in Oregon). We are

progressive in so many ways, but

stuck in the past when it comes to

land development and really

addressing housing needs. We have

an amazing local culture, but the

income disparity tends to over

shadow that.


The incredible access to natural

beauty. From the river to the tall

trees, we live in a paradise.

Sometimes it's hard to see because

it's obscured by trash, bad planning,

industrial debris, and social problems

(take Judkins point for example), but

when you go running up to Pre's rock

or through Alton Baker park and

catch a glimpse of the cascades, you

can see what it could be.

Spak1/13/2021 03:07 AM

What I like most about Eugene is the

extensive off-street bike and hiking

trails. But please don't purchase any

new properties in the next few years.

I would prefer you allocate funds to

help eugenian's develop new

businesses and help unemployed

workers get back to work. Yes, I

know the State has facilities (that are


Page 396 of 464

currently closed) and online

resources to help job seekers. And

there are federally-funded programs

to help people get business loans.

But you can't get a loan if you have

no resources to begin with. The City

could choose to provide grants for

local startups. Eugene wasted tens

of millions of dollars with the Hynix

fiasco in west Eugene. This time

around, why not invest instead in

local people who want to create new

businesses? Those of us who are

hard-working citizens have the drive,

intellect, competence and ambition to

be successful if we create local

companies. But we're going to need

help to do that, especially since

some of us have been out of work

since early last year. Eugene has a

history of supporting the super rich

and the very poor. Neither of those

groups make our community better.

Eugene and the State of Oregon

have always had to deal with non-

working people who come from out

of state to attend summer events like

the Country Fair and apply for

healthcare and SNAP benefits while

here. A quick analysis of monthly

SNAP applications will provide all the

information you need to come to this

conclusion. The huge influx of

Country Fair attendees is closely

correlated with a massive annual

increase in Eugene and Springfield

SNAP applications. In fact a lot of our

SNAP recipients who apply in late

spring (just in time to spend taxpayer

money on Country Fair food!),

transfer their SNAP benefits to other

states that also have events that

draw non-working people, homeless

people and transients. This is not just

an opinion; if you research the

movement of these people and the

benefits they acquire and transfer to


Page 397 of 464

their new locations right before these

types of events start, you will realize

this analysis is correct. Oregon

taxpayers choose to fund their

lifestyle. The result is that we have

more and more people opting for that

lifestyle. We also have many people

who decide to move permanently to

Oregon because they hear about all

the great social service benefits they

can receive here. And there are

plenty of people who grew up here

who quit school and simply choose

not to work as adults because they

really don't have to while living in

Eugene. Finally, there are people

with mental health and physical

issues who actually do need and

deserve our help. Unfortunately,

we're creating more and more of that

type of Oregonian because we allow

destructive drug usage. Over the

next decade, I expect

decriminalization to result in many,

many teenagers being able to use

heroin and meth for years without

being ordered by a court to go into

treatment. In fact, decriminalization in

Oregon means they won't even have

to go to court. That's the unfortunate

result of this recently passed ballot

measure - people, especially youth,

will get away with years of abuse,

enabled by the very people who

thought they were helping by voting

for decriminalization. So our

exponentially increasing population of

social services dependents will

continue to increase because most

Oregonians are not willing to draw a

line in the sand and say "Enough."

I'm hoping Eugene stops enabling

that drug-based, non-working

lifestyle. I really want the City to

change its usual or typical response

to problems and reassess our

priorities as we look for better, more


Page 398 of 464

sensible solutions to recover from the

pandemic. Continuing the path we're

on that encourages and draws more

people to live here as unhoused

residents dependent on social

services is not the solution to this

pandemic mess, it only complicates

it. Those old knee-jerk, dysfunctional

drug-enabling solutions distracts from

what the government needs to do to

meet today's challenges. Perpetual,

multi-decade housing and food

support for people who deliberately

choose a lifestyle that does not

require working should no longer be

a goal of Eugene's government. For

once, please think out of the box and

come up with programs that help

people make their lives better.

Eugene should ensure that recipients

of pandemic support are required to

step up and produce results. Instead

of just living off public funds,

recipients should be required to work

or create employment opportunities

in our community. That means

instead of designing and funding

more giveaway programs, Eugene

needs to create and implementing

programs that support folks who

have always worked and are willing

to continue to work in the future. It's

a sort of a triage perspective. The

government can choose to help the

wealthy like Hynix. That certainly

doesn't work very well for the rest of

us. Or Eugene can choose to give

more and more to people who want

nothing more than to take and take,

forever. That's clearly not working

either. I'm hoping Eugene finally

decides to support those of us in the

middle who, with a little bit of help,

will be very successful. This is similar

to battlefield triage. If someone's

going to never get better, why do we

want to keep increasing the multiple


Page 399 of 464

ways we help them not get better?

As much as we want these social

programs for the poor to work, they

obviously don't as can be proven by

multi-generational poverty and

rampant, intergenerational drug use

and antisocial behavior. Alternatively,

if a rich corporation wants to come in

and get special tax breaks, using our

local tax base to fund their greed

doesn't help us either. But if Eugene

takes the position that helping those

who are willing to help themselves is

the best way out of this pandemic, I

think we will be successful. Those of

us who are willing to work are going

to need help getting jobs. If the City

helps us create new businesses, all

the better. We'll be a boon to the

local economy, not a drag on it. So

please think carefully and craft

programs that truly help us move

forward rather than keep us spinning

our wheels on the stagnant,

dysfunctional path our community

has been on for years that clearly

makes our (and social service

recipients') problems worse, not

better. Hard-working Eugenians need

your support. But you need us too.

Help us be successful over the next

three to five years with programs and

funding that are usually directed to

everyone except those of us who

want to work and contribute to

society.

address climate change, DEI, etc.


Unique and creative responses to

Walking trails, greenery, open space,

Many caring people who want to do

Eugene is only special if we all come

together to make it so. Recently

Eugene has seemed like just another

city to me.

Fred Tep1/13/2021 08:43 AM

Don't get me started. I don't want to

sound like a crank, but here goes.

I've lived here for over sixty years.

Eugene has become less

independent, less resilient, and less

caring during that period (in keeping

with many similar cities). Eugene has

enormous potential to be different,

and I think I'm starting to see signs of

a change. But we have to reject

politicians that take knee jerk,

uninformed decisions (on both the

left and the right) and dig deeper into

the issues to bridge our deep

differences (especially considering

the larger Eugene-Springfield

community). I'm also quite

disappointed with Eugene's lack of

decisive action on climate change. I

believe I'm starting to see some

movement, but 95% of what I see is

business as usual. And this head-in-

the-sand attitude exists across the

political spectrum (as represented on

our City Council). Glimmers of hope,

but what I want to see in 2021 and

going forward is informed, decisive

action. Want to learn more? Send

me an email ([email protected]).


The large number of educated and

politically liberal and generous

people here. Our access to nature,


Page 404 of 464

our parks, bike lanes, our wonderful

people who manage the streets and

roads with creative markings of roads

to protect people with disabilities as

they cross and to protect bicyclists. I

jeugene1/13/2021 09:41 AM

We are a growing urban center that

has, thus far, resisted the pitfalls of

gentrification and maintained a

unique character. We must stay that

way while also resisting social

stratification and focusing on social

justice and economic equality.


Unique, small businesses


Historically, Eugene has been an

open and generally tolerant

community. As the community grows

, in terms of sheer population, we

must acknowledge that our

demographic has changed. Although

I am a slightly left-leaning moderate,

there is a palpable assumption that

Eugene-- particularly in schools and

policy planning-- is a "liberal" only

community. In my opinion, creating

bridges of understanding and

connection throughout the community

could go much further than the

snarky social media, bumper sticker

snipes that both political sides want

to throw at one another. Again,

Eugene, let's put our money where

our mouths are and be a community

that is truly one of love, peace and

tolerance. (For the record, I have

lived in Eugene since 1972--

attended 8-12 , LCC, UO)

comes from the diversity of our

population. We must ensure that all

such as restaurants and community

activities. Not all of us eat granola,

drive a Subaru, and wear knitted

beanies. Would be cool to spice up

I think the city of Eugene genuinely

tries to do the right thing in most

cases. There are a lot of people

doing really hard and good work. But

sometimes it feels like decisions get

made in haste. Sweeping homeless

camps during a pandemic seems

unnecessary and wasteful. I want to

believe that someone had reasoning

for it that came from a good place,


Page 418 of 464

but if there was that information was

not spread with any transparency.

Eugene has always felt like a place

where neighbors could be thoughtful

to one another, but in the last few

years there seems to be sweeping

distrust and I wonder where that

comes from. Eugene is a great city

and I'm happy it's my chosen home.

topographical location of Eugene

when I drive outside my front door or

even walk for that matter living in

North eugene, I am in farmland. Give

me farmland over City life everyday?

think people here are all trying really

hard to hold it together and make

stability the norm. The Eugene area

itself acts as a balm that helps

protect us from all the bad things. At

the risk of sounding hippie-dippy,

there is just something special in the

LITERALLY be all the pot smoke )

When we moved here we picked the

City sight unseen. I went onto

city.data.com and looked at the

statistics. Having held political and

planning offices, I was looking for

balance -- balance politically,

educationally, etc. and Eugene fit the

bill. We are quite happy with the

decision. Since moving here, it has

maintained a balance. It has Cahoots

(a genius idea), a wonderful canopy

of trees, neighborhoods that are

cohesive, caring City workers, and

many creative people. We can only

hope that City leaders will continue to

be grounded as Eugene grows, more

people move here and it becomes a

bit enamored of itself. We moved

from a much-admired town (my

family moved there in 1964) that had

drunk the Kool-Aid -- great to visit but

brutal to live in. Money had become

a social weapon.

Muffet It's a beautiful town and has a good


Page 425 of 464

been for years a forward thinking

town, which looks out for its own as

in stopping the rollout of 5G,

honoring opt outs for smart meters,

and doesn't add harmful fluoride to

the water... to name a few good

things I love about this town. . I've

been here many years, but this last

year where Eugene blindly followed

the governors unlawful "orders" is

causing me to consider moving to a

place that understands our

constitutional rights and uphold the

laws that we all have a right to live

under. I am retired and spend a lot of

money in this town, which I'd like to

continue doing, given Eugene does

the right thing and upholds our

constitutional rights.

its countless outdoor spaces to

explore - Oregon Ducks passion - its

beauty - its proximity to the coast

and Portland (big city)

Community and local businesses


Our urban/suburban landscape that

includes so much nature in it, such

as trees and our 'urban forest',

wetlands and open waterways, the

development of open, natural storm

sewer systems, our parks and open

spaces, the network of bike paths.

Finding more ways to allow nature

into our urban environment so that

we can create better balance in our

ecosystem would be nice to see. For

example, things that support birds so

that we can reap the benefits of pest

control from them, without creating

conditions where they become the

pests. Or ways to foster a better

predator/prey balance so that pests,

such as rats, can be controlled in a

more natural way.


At this point, not much. The priority

seems to be pretending we’re

progressive and kind, when in reality

we’re not. The focus needs to not be

on tourism for potential track meets,

and instead actually caring about the

local citizens - housed or not. We

don’t even have a city hall. It’s

pathetic. It makes me sad that

instead of improving the city and

cleaning it up - it’s filthy and rundown

- and doing something to help the

shamefully high houseless

population, the focus is on putting on

a fake show for track meet visitors.

It’s embarrassing.

local rather than chain stores. 3.

Accessibility to outdoor activities. —I

might not stay because I don’t have

much faith in the excellence of health

care here which is more important as

I age. And there are not enough

direct flights. But I love the direction

of the downtown development. My

lifestyle priorities are good

restaurants and food sourcing; stores

that highlight craft and handmade

items as well as lively settings, more

cultural activities like theater, modern

dance , jazz, and other bands,

farmers markets and more

pedestrian spaces, and the outdoors,

like trails for running and hiking. If ti

that we added better access to health

this category of 'non' applicable" to

almost all the questions.


1. People: people that care, people

that are educated, people that love

outdoors and arts 2. Our natural

world, our parks and open spaces in

town and nearby, from coast to

cascades, our city trees, 3. Beautiful

spaces from UO campus to city

parks, to beauty of older houses in

neighborhoods, from Victorians to

mid-century moderns, some

neighborhoods and streets are so

beautiful to walk through -- we should

preserve and protect that beauty

(while perhaps finding ways to

increase housing density there

without ruining the beauty)

performing arts, sporting events,

beautiful parks for people and their

dogs, and miles and miles of walking

and biking trails without the

headaches like traffic, air and noise

pollution, etc. After having lived in

many places in the U.S., I brought

my family to live here, because the

quality of life and the people in

Eugene are remarkable.

am UofO alumni. I take pride in my

Ducks but have lost pride in the

community. Visiting local breweries,

restaurants and businesses in

Eugene use to be a fun activity. We

now face a black eye if we try to visit

many of these establishments. We

no longer feel safe at night. Many of

my colleagues from out of town use

to enjoy booking a hotel in downtown

Eugene and visiting local

establishments. They no longer come

to Eugene due to issues I have

mentioned. What happened to the

Fun and usually safe Downtown

Celebration. This was such a fun

community event. It brought a sense

of cohesive community. I have grown

up in Lane County, attended college

in Eugene, our kids attend school in

Eugene and my wife works in

Eugene. The paths along the river

and Amazon were once something

we loved. I use to ride along the river

every day. It is now the highway for

the homeless. It is not safe. There is

so much we could be proud of again

if we would address the issues.

Eugene is special as it coddles non-

taxpayers further driving peace,

industry, and success away. If not for

the University, it would crumble.

Clean up the panhandling, chronic

homelessness, drug use, and

property crime and support the tax

payers with enforcing the law.

I don't live in Eugene, in part

because Eugene already thinks it is

too special. It's insufferable if you're

not as enamored of Eugene as

Eugene is of itself.

Elspeth1/29/2021 12:01 PM

That Eugene has maintained many

nature areas close to the urban

center such as Mt. Pisgah, Skinners,

the ridgeline system, Hendricks, etc.

I believe that most citizens are doing

what they can to suppress the virus

spread. Teamwork makes the

dreamwork. Also.. No active reports

of zombies, that I know of? :)


The livability is #1. The temperate

climate as well as the fact we can

sometimes see all four seasons on

the same day. The fact you can drive

an hour to the coast or the

mountains. The abundance of

outdoor activities- bike trails, running

paths, parks, outdoor markets. We

are not Portland, thank goodness.

Odwalla1/29/2021 05:43 PM

I've lived here 30 years and have

seen many friends leave because

Eugene lacks cultural/artistic interest.

I used to organize EUZINE Comics

and Zine Fest but ran out of steam

because Eugene doesn't have a

good events center (please improve).

The best parts of Eugene integrate

nature with the community, they feel

unique and local. I'm referring to the

Whitaker, the Down to Earth hub,

Prince Pucklers area, Friendly Street

Market, the Willamette bike path...

Springfield downtown/Main street is


Page 455 of 464

great. Walkable areas of interest

would draw me in more, but these

areas feel few and far between. I

currently feel dishearted about the

livability of Eugene.

eglennon621/29/2021 08:48 PM

For a city of its size, Eugene has

much to offer. An excellent library,

great music venues, restaurants,

local shopping, nonprofits, etc. And a

nice city to walk around in, both

parks and neighborhood streets. At

least before the pandemic, Eugene

was a nice combination of vibrant

and low key.

I think that biking and walking and

how easy that can be is a really,

really good thing and should be

expanded through much more

infrastructure. Also, all of the nature

To me the best things about Eugene

are local farmers, food processors,

Farmers Market, and our

independent restaurants, bakeries.

Also, our parks, and access to the

Rivers are very important and

wonderful. Our schools and the

excellent educators we have have

made a huge difference in my now

and other shows, access to safe

places to take kids, restaurants, bike-

ability, small-ish town feel but with

access what we need

Kristen Brack1/31/2021 09:09 AM

Our love of the outdoors, our funky

community who largely thrives on

acceptance of those around us, and

our local businesses.


The number of rich conservatives

who masquerade as progressives. I

also really like how close to nature it

is. I just wish that people wanted it to

be a lively place for young

professionals and not a retirement

community for rich white people. It

really bums me out. Such wasted

potential for both city/economic

development and brain-drain from

the University.

HJ Hodges1/31/2021 10:38 PM

Track Town USA. Outdoor concerts
