this issue goes far beyond the puff piece of this article and one the RG has published my op-ed letters on for over 25 years. As for your deluded strawman charge, that is a shameless lie, I do not call everyone who does good in our community a liberal. If these clowns cared of the plight of poverty, homelessness, they would be screaming bloody murder our government is taxing people out of housing and onto the streets. Their silence is deafening. Furthermore, until liberals outlawed affordable housing we could build these "tiny houses" and support ourselves in independence and dignity. They are not demanding high density planning be repealed, which caused this poverty, affordable housing crisis, they are shamelessly exploiting the poor instead. I came to Eugene living on the streets destitute. I know exactly what it takes to overcome this poverty. I know exactly how this enables this poverty, and shamelessly exploits the poor politically.
