The state law says these transitional housing accommodations can only be on two parcels within a municipality, not two sites. Wright has two parcels that Right 2 Dream is currently sitting on. Dignity Village appears to be on one very large parcel near the Airport.

"Campgrounds established for providing transitional housing accommodations shall not be allowed on more than two parcels in a municipality."

I assume Right 2 Dream Too knows that their current site would be in violation of Oregon law on transitional housing, and this is just a point to get a campsite built somewhere else within the city on a larger parcel.

Any thoughts or did I misinterpret what a parcel technically is and/or the fine, detailed points of the lawsuit?

Thanks.
