This is great news. The city of Eugene and Lane County can now buy the building for $21 million and one cent, relocate their combined government offices there, take full advantage of the new West 11th EmX line by having LTD run a shuttle route from the Walmart turnaround point to Willow Creek Road every 10 minutes and then . . . drum roll, please . . . open the nation's largest homeless shelter and one-stop-shopping, relocation-assistance facility in the remaining 1 million square feet of space.

Imagine the ancillary business growth that will sprout in that area to support such an enterprise. The county seat will move closer to its geographic center, pleasing our coastal neighbors. And the joy of city councilors, county commissioners and the no-longer chronically homeless sharing not only our state-of-the-art people mover (for free, of course) but a common roof over their heads is almost too wonderful to comprehend.

Just do this. Solve those problems. Write that check.
