Paul, if you keep hindering the Eugene Planner's desires, how are they ever going to pad their resumes' to prove that they are on the cutting edge of advanced planning thought?   

Have you no concern for their careers and  futures which will be so much better once they leave backwoods Eugene?  They've embraced EMX.  They are changing downtown Eugene into row house after cookie-cutter row house of identical apartment buildings.  They use all of the buzzwords like 'vibrant' and 'innovative' and 'challenging'. 

 It is only those like you clinging to last century's concepts of independence and single family dwelling instead of modern thought which are thwarting their needs.
