Can Eugene and Springfield learn anything about growing more compactly from Seattle’s successes and failures? Tara Sulzen, outreach director for 1000 Friends of Oregon, attended the Urban Land Institute Northwest Young Leaders Regional Conference in Seattle in early August and wrote about it the latest 1000 Friends newsletter. She also picked up some insights from noted political thinker Matthew Yglesias at a Bus Project event in Portland. Check out her report at:

Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
