I am new to Eugene, <br />only having lived here for 2 years. Over the years, I have lived in larger <br />cities like Seattle, Portland, Chicago, Phnom Penh and smaller cities like <br />Reno, Spokane, Armonk, Pullman, and Grand Rapids. I have also traveled <br />quite a bit. There are qualities about these places, such as the <br />neighborhoods characteristics, that influence my decision to visit them <br />again. <br /> <br />When looking to purchase my house last year, there were certain criteria <br />that I gave to my realtor. Many of these criteria are defined in the CAFHN <br />proposed standards. I agree with these standards because I believe that it <br />is important to hold onto the green space in the inner cities, encourage <br />walking and community, decrease the 'inappropriate infill' (a subjective <br />term used to describe the buildings that are only attractive to the person <br />holding the purse). It is important to think about the long term <br />consequences and keep the city livable. I believe that others looking to <br />move to this city are also looking for neighborhoods with these same <br />qualities. I feel very lucky to have moved to this neighborhood, and to <br />Eugene. <br /> <br />Thank you for your time and attention to this important city growth issue. <br /> <br />Susan Ewers <br />1493 W. 10th Ave <br />Eugene, OR 97402 <br /> <br />1 <br />
