I would say become educated in the issue, just as I have. Make your own decision and opinion. The Lane County government has used the deed's intent wrongly or rightly to get its way. Now they want to dismiss it. The city will not approve a land swap unless they are guaranteed to not get 'kicked off the land' again as they did in 1909. But Lane County is going to have a very difficult time convincing a judge from another county, appointed due to conflict of interest, to override the deed, the 1909 judgement and the 2007 objection by the Lane County Circuit Court and the Oregon Judicial Court, that included the Chief Justice of the Oregon Supreme Court, that the deed prevents them selling the 'butterfly' lot to the City for a new city hall. I will enjoy watching them try. Look at the incredible document history research by Dan Armstrong- http://mudcitypress.com/parkblockshistory.html
