Ms. Sundt again?  Anyway, there is some merit to her comment that new development should have some density requirements too.  The flaw in her argument, however, is that compact development should only occur in the new neighborhoods, instead of all neighborhoods.   Does it make sense to encourage more density in areas remote from the center of town instead of encouraging compact development in the transportation and business hubs?  If you care about the environment, encouraging density in the sticks, without public transportation to support it (which is much more costly when it is so far out), will only cause unnecessary pollution.  Crescent Village is nice, but it is far away.  It doesn't have condos or cottages.  It feels like a movie set.  More Crescent Villages on the edge of town aren't the solution.  Fortunately, neighbors in the South Willamette area can use their experience being nice to foster inclusion and trust as the neighborhood slowly grows over the next 20 years.
