"“Property Wrongs,” a report by Seattle-based Sightline Institute, documents a growing backlash against 'property rights' initiatives by chronicling six stories of Oregon communities deeply affected by Oregon's Measure 37.My wife and I went to a sustainable communities forum this evening on I-933. I-933 is not something that is in Washington's best interest. Period. Being sold as a property rights initiative, it is a government busting, developer enhancer vote on steroids.
The report also examines the implications for Washington and other states considering similar initiatives this fall, including Idaho, Montana, Arizona, and California, which are all modeled after Measure 37. "
Want a strip club next door to your house? Vote for I-933. Wave to the felon who's coming out of the halfway house down the steet. Your neighbor loves to collect junk cars? No problem--you won't have a say.
The worst part--it takes away YOUR voice and your participation in the democratic process.
Don't do it. Vote no!
