Hey Folks,
Over the past couple of decades, I have been at war with Urban Renewal and Tax Increment Financing, because these tax practices are a form of economic fascism. One of the reasons the US Government stopped this practice on the federal level was because Urban Renewal caused "urban sprawl" or what is better known as "white flight"---all while trapping minorities and the poor in the projects that have become the inner cities of today. There are several books written on the subject, but I recommend reading the works of the AntiPlanner. Randal O'Toole from the CATO Institute is the foremost expert on central planning and URA's and he has written and researched articles on Cabela's and their manipulation of the taxing system in Oregon. However, I do not fault Cabela’s; in fact, they are just following a trend of operating in a market of compensation. It is the fault of government and the politicians who have purposely structured the tax code to benefit the wealthy....Rob T.

Tualatin council to consider plan for Cabela's shopping center Monday
Tualatin residents have expressed concerns about traffic and that the center may create an eyesore for people walking on the future Tualatin River Greenway Trail.
The council's role Monday comes down to making sure the development matches expectations for urban renewal in Tualatin. If the master plan is approved (and council can set additional conditions), the development must then go through architectural review.
