PORTLAND, Ore. ( KOIN ) – Amid Oregon's affordable housing crisis, Lake Oswego Mayor Joe Buck says Gov. Tina Kotek's housing production plan is meeting bureaucracy with more red tape. 'We're all aware that the lack of housing, in general, affordable housing and market rate housing is making our communities unaffordable for so many Oregonians and its locking people out of communities like Lake Oswego, leading to high rates of homelessness statewide,' Mayor Buck said. 'Oregon estimates that we have 140,000 units short of homes and that's not taking into account the additional housing we're going to need for people moving into the state.
