OTOH a real community/publicly owned survival stash implies public spending of city/state tax revenue. Can Oregon communities do referendums?



I don't know about communities. There is a statewide referendum process.

They need to figure out a way to make it work or just have the guts to see it through. It's a great concept -- the government facilitating people taking charge of their own survival.

If I lived there I'd look for like-minded people to get together and do their own thing in that same vein.

I'd also see about keeping an RV at some elevation.
