Chris Feves and her husband Michael live near Sherwood and Wilsonville. Chris admits that "like an idiot I voted for Measure 37." But she regrets her vote and is working to pass Measure 49 to protect all of Oregon from ill-planned development.

"Measure 37 sounded fine," she says, " But, little did we know that it really meant do whatever you want."

Surrounding Chris and Michael's forest, hay and horse farm, are multiple Measure 37 claims for hundreds of homes. They and their neighbors are worried about what Measure 37 claims are doing to their area, Chris says. They also worry about the water supply because the new homes will be on wells, tapping down the limited aquifer water supply.

Chris has many other concerns. "We have small, little roads around here that can't handle much additional traffic," she says. Besides the road safety issues, "there is fire and all that kind of danger. Where we are it is not like there is a fire hydrant to pump water," Chris says. Sherwood is one of the fastest growing school districts in the state, "our schools are overcrowded before they even open a new school. The schools are at overcapacity, even without these new homes," she says.

Chris is proud of Oregon's protective land-use laws. "Oregon has one of the best land use planning systems in the country. When you go to other states, you can just see it isn't as well thought out as Oregon," she says.

"Measure 37 is ruining Oregon," Chris says flatly, "I think property rights are important.” But so are the rights of neighboring property owners. Passing 49 would restore the respect for the property rights of neighbors that Measure 37 has ruined.
