Eugene is not now, nor will it ever be, Amsterdam.  

Even the recent legalization of marijuana will not make it so.

Even legalizing prostitution will not make it so.

Eugene is just a little town with some bike paths which have been turned over to the 'homeless''.

And it also has  a lot of aging hippies who really thought bicycles were neat before they actually had to go to work and back several miles every day in all weather conditions  and had to take their kids to places and buy more groceries for their families than you can carry on a bicycle.
