How does density fit with Oregon’s land use laws?
How can communities like Corvallis benefit from increased density? What are the negative aspects of increased density?
Potential Benefits Potential Costs
• More Housing, smaller footprint • Incompatibility with existing
• Greater tax revenue per acre neighborhoods
• Increased social interaction • Parking
• More walkable neighborhoods • Traffic
This program follows two earlier LWV Housing Committee programs exploring the social and economic consequences to our community when housing stock is low and some tools to increase the supply.
