I Condominiums
Continued from Page 1
Itions established for both purchasers and tenants
under the ordinance.
Although 90 percent of the changes to the or
dinance sparked no concern. Jim Ellison, a Plann
ing Commission member, said two emotional
issues have come out of the changes proposed to
the tenants’ protections — comparable housing
and lifelong lease.
Under the old ordinance, developers had to of
fer “special category" residents (the elderly, han
dicapped and low income) equivalent housing
before converting the apartments into con
dominiums for sale.
Developers also had to offer them a lifelong
lease if no comparable housing could be found.
These protections were never tested because no
developer has tried to convert apartments into
condominiums since the ordinance was enacted,
probably because of Eugene's poor housing
market, said Robin Johnson, an independent
housing consultant.
About 20 people were present at the work ses
sion. many of whom represented groups that have
formed the Citizens Coalition tin Condominium
Conversion to protest the changes.
Vivian Wearne. a representative of theCommis
sion on the Rights of the Aging, said she applauds
Bennett's decision not to vote on the issue.
While she agrees that no one can guarantee a
person’s right to stay in one place forever,
Wearne said the issue is one of protection.
"You can have the same old song and dance
about the rights of the elderly . hut somewhere
along the line you have to make plans" for the
elderly, she said.

Robert Smith, president of I>ane County’s
United Seniors, said the coalition is particularly
worried about the (Manning Commission's pro
posal to eliminate the need for comparable hous
ing for those displaced.
But he said the discussion by council members
of the ordinance change was encouraging.

thought it was only in the gay
community and that normal
people didn't get it,” she said.
The woman believes she might
have contracted AIDS four years
ago from shooting up drugs a
single time.
Another speaker, Kean Ar
pke. stressed the fact people can
protect themselves from AIDS
by practicing safe sex.
“I’m afraid that many people
will respond to the AIDS crisis
hv denying their sexuality,” Ar
pke said. If people talk about
their sexual expectations with
prospective partners and prac
tice safe sex. they don't have to
give up their sexuality, he said.
Safe sex practices break down
when under the influence of
drugs or alcohol, puttting peo
ple at higher risk for AIDS, said
Robert McAlister, moderator
and AIDS program coordinator
for the State of Oregon Health
Division.
Social programs must be
developed for the prevention
and treatment of AIDS not only
to reduce the spread of the
disease but also to reduce the
costs of caring for present AIDS
patients. McAlister said.
It is important that a com
munity respond to the AIDS
epidemic and its victims in a
compassionate manner. Storer
said. “How we respond to AIDS
in society is a measure of the
kind of human beings we will
become," he said.
