Here’s a short quiz in light of the discussion referencing “Housing For the Rich” (8/12):
a) Developers are champing at the bit to build affordable housing in upzoned neighborhoods.
b) Even if developers build higher-end housing on upzoned lots, the invisible hand of the market will make affordable housing appear somewhere else.
c) Backyards, trees and gardens are highly overrated.
d) None of the above.
As a 30-year resident of the West Side, I find (d) is the only reasonable answer.

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.
