Yes, the UGB is an arbitrary line, and even if we don't expand it, people can still "drive 'till they qualify" in Junction City or other neighboring cities if there isn't enough affordable housing in Eugene. But that doesn't do much to address transportation options and climate change.

We need a balance between the different pillars, and a multitude of solutions to address the issues. Yes, incentives to ensure more workforce housing (and more subsided housing for those with very low income), identifying areas where higher-intensity infill could be incentivized, and perhaps even adding additional land are part of the solution.  But the piece of the solution that includes removing roadblocks to additional market rate and missing middle infill shouldn't be taken off the table.
