I have said this before, but I wasn't aware of M37 side effects and believe I even voted for the measure. It sounded good, you should be able to do what you want with your property...but in light of how broad that explanation really was, it was terrible public policy. There was a shitty No on 37 campaign and there wasn't information about how broad or nasty the measure truly was. I was duped, and it took 2 years for our legislature to finally come up with something else. Which is why I also agree with annual sessions...
but as a shamed Oregonian, I'm glad we can put some sensibility back into the planning, and still leave a landowner the chance to build a second or third house on their property for children or additional income. That I'm not against, but the massive subdevelopments, commercial claims, industrial mining operations...YUCK!
