Join Your Fellow Oregonians for this Important Online Debate RESOLVED: THE OREGON RURAL/URBAN DIVIDE IS INSURMOUNTABLE. “Given differences in rural and urban Oregonians' relationships to the land, and their lifestyles, values, and political representation, is it possible today for both sides to accommodate the other's cultural, economic and political interests and priorities?” This is an opportunity to weigh in on an issue of critical importance to all Oregonians and to hear what others have to say. Can we find solutions to this vexing problem? This Debate is presented by Braver Angels, www.braverangels.org, a nonprofit dedicated to reducing political partisanship and strengthening our democratic republic. We plan to follow this online gathering with a series of in-person workshops, hopefully one in each county throughout the state, where we will bring urban and rural Oregonians together to discuss the Divide and look for constructive, mutually agreeable solutions.

"No effort, #policy or solution stands alone in trying to address the United States’ or #NorthCarolina's #housing needs. The Report suggests a number of efforts needed to improve access to #affordablehousing, including increasing the amount of supply, diversity and use of alternative #construction methods of low-cost units; increasing assistance programs to lower income #renters and #homeowners; and bolstering programs addressing housing-related areas such as accessibility, #homelessness and building regulations." - NCHFA Harvard Joint Center for Housing Studies #nchousing #housingnc #ncrealestate Learn more here:
