Mayor Sam Adams and other urbanites are out of touch with what it takes to have a sustainable commuminty in western washington county.  Cities like Cornelius and Forest Grove need more land to attract industries that create jobs.  Sam Adams would like to condemn Cornelius and Forest Grove to low-income, bedroom communities without potential to attract industries that produce jobs.  Does he believe "20 minute communities" should exist outside of Portland, Beaverton and Hillsboro?  If so, then Cornelius and Forest Grove need land added to the UGB.
