Problems stressed
by rapid city growth
By NANCY WILLIAMS
Of the Emerald
Have you ever found your speedy five-minute drive home from
downtown Eugene taking 20 minutes because you were unfortunate
enough to get caught in the 5 p.m. traffic jam?
Or have you ever made a quick run to the store and had it turn into
a not-so-quick run because you had to circle blocks before finding a
parking space?
If so, you’ve experienced just one of the many consequences of the
rapid growth occurring now in Oregon cities.
The University’s Bureau of Governmental Research and Service
has recently completed a 110-page report on population and housing
trends in the state. The report shows that Oregon’s population has
shifted largely from rural to urban living in the last decade.
This shift has vast consequences for state and local government,
the report says. Goods and services that in a rural environment are
purchased privately , are obtained through government in an urban
environment. Therefore, problems such as sewage and refuse
disposal, traffic congestion and health dangers become all important.
U.S. Census Bureau figures show that urban dwellers comprise 67
per cent of Oregon’s 1970 population. In 1960, 62 per cent of Oregonians
lived in urban areas, compared with 54 per cent ten years before.
The report also reveals that 60 per cent of the population lives on
the floor of the Willamette Valley, an area encompassing only three
per cent of the state’s total area.
According to the report, individuals who function well within the
farm family may require public support when in a city environment.
The emotionally disturbed, mentally retarded, old and disabled need
public substitutes for the family. And the report asserts Public action
must therefore be increased to provide these substitutes.
In addition, the report shows that the number of persons in the 15
to 25-year-old age bracket has increased by 81 per cent in the last 20
years. The growth of this group also puts a growing demand on state
services as young people seek employment and education.
A section of this group, the 18 to 20 year olds, comprise a new
group able to vote for the first time. The report states that their impact
on voting patterns will vary considerably among counties but will be
greatest in counties containing universities and colleges. In Eugene
this group constitutes 15 per cent of the 18-and-over population.
These and many other changes reflected in the pages of the report
call for an increased awareness on the part of public officials. The
report says that officials who have grown up in the communities they
serve are apt to perform their duties under perceptions of a social
environment formed when conditions were much different than they
are today.
The report has been sent to all cities with a population of over 2,500
in hopes that planning departments may develop their policies with
these new conditions in mind.
