Measure 49

So Measure 49 is coming up for a vote and I am curious on other people's opinion. I voted for measure 37 but am probably one of the pro-37s who would consider measure 49 if it wasn't such a sham. It claims to "streamline" those who want less than 10 homes and hinder giant subdivisions. Sounds good. Then you read about how they basically cheated to secure an unfair and inaccurate title and summary for the measure. But it gets even worse when you actually read measure 49. I encourage anyone who is hearing all the back and forth about what this measure actually does to PLEASE JUST READ THE LANGUAGE. It has always bothered me that the common voter thinks they won't understand. It is fairly straightforward. Measure 49 guts measure 37, it helps no one who is making or has made a claim. Hell, even the Oregonian opinion section had a good article about how it hurts anyone applying, even Dorothy English wouldn't qualify for the streamlined process. This is a shady attempt to kill a voter approved initiative by lying to the voting population. I hate the Oregon legislature. I hope this measure dies fast and hard.
