Extending the urban growth boundary (UGB) does cost something in terms of also extending city services such as roads, water, sewer, police, etc., all of which is paid for by taxes. It also increases traffic, which has a cost in air pollution, longer commutes, stress, danger to pedestrians and bicyclists, etc. Over 40 percent of people who live in the Eugene metropolitan area are renters. We need more apartment buildings on the vacant lots scattered around town, more infill.
