Knowing that the housing bubble we experienced is not likely to return, and considering the tightened mortgage standards in <br />place today, a decrease in single family detached housing is expected. However, a 59 percent decrease from historical trends <br />will continue to push a large portion of the housing demand to surrounding bedroom communities, increasing vehicle miles <br />traveled in the process. <br />Hopefully the Eugene City Council will make the right housing mix decision. It’s time to kick-start the recovery and put <br />housing back to work. <br />Ed McMahon, the executive vice president for the Home Builders Association of Lane County for 16 years, is participating in <br />the Community Resource Group, the Technical Resource Group and the Partially Vacant Land Group of the Envision Eugene <br />process. <br />Copyright © 2011 — The Register-Guard, Eugene, Oregon, USA <br />
