This reminds me much of the racists who didn't want "negro's" in Oregon. It's all about crony capitalism today. The stated reasons why people are against this is as bigoted as anything racists state. Some think it's a fool who buys bottled water while others hate because it's a corporation. Nestle needs to market this ...

How sweetly ironic to have an anonymous poster weigh in on "disclosure." In any case, you set up a straw man. TrustTheNeighbors is never represented to the Council, or others as an organization in the way that WE CAN has done. And, when a few people pretending to be a community organization hide who they are and their...

And yet not one of these liberal bigots remotely has a problem with Saturday Market-Lane County Farmers Market using public land at well below market value, and establishing criminal crony capitalism in downtown Eugene. The hypocrisy is staggering.

"It’s 8 (eight) blocks to the bus stop for me. If it’s good enough for me at 71 it’s good enough for her at 90." Oh really? What kind of a person knows what's good for others? The arrogant with cruel disregard. Shame on you.

This is just like that New York Developer William H. Seward who bought some property for development as Secretary of State. The locals were all upset that they were sold by the Tzar. That big secret deal, upset Britain also.

He may have just made a poor choice finding a place to urinate. Many people who know him say the charges would be out of character for him. The lack of public restrooms nearby and poor judgement choosing a school yard may have caused this unfortunate assumption about a good person.

As a landlord it is not the tenant's right to resell a parking spot. Most leases/rental contracts require a vehicle description with the plate number. The landlord would be open to all sorts of liability if this were to knowingly happen.

I would be more sympathetic to the city's anti-car strategy if it would divest itself of its fleet of city cars. Personal transportation for citizens is often related to the demands of work and family. If citizens are expected to rely on public transit or bicycle, let city employees do the same.

Restoring relations with Cuba doesn't enable suppression or exported terrorism one tenth as much as maintaining the remnants of a cold war and a previous century. The Cuban people don't want the same status quo they've put up with for almost 50 years. They want change. And this is change, the opposite of status quo.
