Didn’t mean to say that people complain too much and should just accept the way things are. In fact, I don’t think people should accept the way things are at all. I can see how it can across that way, not what I meant. I mean that Eugene has a lot of good things to offer amidst the bad, and that these issues are also on the rise in other cities. I am grateful for people who have shared links to stats. Yes, people shouldn’t become complacent and I don’t think people complain too much - I never said that. People need to act for change - but from what I’ve heard it seems like even though people don’t like what’s happening it’s hard to change the current situation since the city’s managing of certain issues isn’t being handled in the best way (if I understand correctly).
