In a report from Koin 8, Governor Tina Kotek and Portland Mayor Keith Wilson announced their intention to encourage more housing development by implementing a moratorium on System Development Charges (SDCs) for three years, to create 5,000 housing units. SDCs are fees imposed on developers for their impact on city services, community resources, and traffic. Three years is just enough for Governor Kotek to get by at her re-election next year, and then let everything go back to housing-hell.

Oregon is among the most expensive places to buy a home because the liberal lobby has used System Development Charges to push for unneccessary environmental and labor requirements.  SDCc have also been boosted as a way to fund government through the back door.   This is why some are saying the SDC pause will be a big financial hit to the City budget.
