šŸ“° News we're reading

ā€¢ Watch: New Oregon housing law causing controversy in West Linn (oregonlive.com) ā€” A new state housing law means West Linnā€™s Aug. 10 hearing on a 320-apartment Tannler Drive redevelopment will only take public comment on the projectā€™s commercial pieces, not the housing itself. Some residents, through an attorney, argue the law unconstitutionally limits appeals of local land-use decisions, raising the stakes for how this Blankenship/Tannler site is approved.
