text: There they go again. When I came to Eugene in 1985 living on the streets, you could buy a 400 square foot 1 bedroom home for $10K-$13K. Oregon liberals outlawed this housing to raise property tax revenue through market manipulation called high density planning. Today liberals will not remotely tolerate starter homes being built, as they lift the working poor to middle class home ownership standards, and are further chaining the poor to poverty, creating a needless dependence on the welfare state. it is disgusting and despicable how these pseudo-Christians are shamelessly exploiting the poor.
