That's a good question about Measure 37 and compensation for land where development is forbidden. Isn't there a move afoot to repeal Measure 37 itself? I haven't been following this very closely. Oregon used to be very special because there was an urban growth boundary and when you drove outside of it, there was a stark and sudden change into the countryside. I absolutely hate tract housing developments, having grown up in southern California when the skies were blue and there were orange and lemon groves everywhere and you could see Mt. Baldy clearly every day. It was paradise on earth in the early 1950's, and I watched all the ticky tacky development and the coming of smog and hated it. I know that populations grow and have to live somewhere, but certainly the way America has been developed is pretty ugly and could have been done more sensitively. When the development moves into sacred grounds and pristine, stunningly beautiful areas, it is all the more painful to watch.
