Experts debate land use measure
Oregonians no longer have local control of how their property is zoned.
It is decided by the cities and counties with the property owners sitting on the outside of the process. Oregon passed land use rules 30 years ago that morphed into allowing government to take value from property owners without compensation.
These landmark land use rules forced density into neighborhoods that do not what it and developed farms in the urban growth boundary even if they are on prime farmland.We save farms outside of the urban growth boundaries, even if the soil is poor.
Land use planning is upside down in Oregon
