Good morning,

The fourth part of the editorial board’s special report on housing, “Breaking Ground,” examines the connection between jobs and housing. Years of lackluster job and income growth are making it harder for local workers of all income levels to keep up with mortgages or rent payments.

Springfield police have agreed to a use-of-force review, which follows allegations of noncompliance with a court settlement in the case of an officer fatally shooting a woman in 2019. Jaime Adame reports.

Also in Springfield, the school board is still hashing out a familiar topic: curriculum compliance for elementary school students. Lilly St. Angelo was at the meeting Nov. 9.

Leo Heffron offers things to do this weekend, to counter these days of rain and darkness. How does a singalong to ‘The Sound of Music’ strike you? And Bill Sullivan says if you’ve ever wanted to go to Timberline Lodge with its giant fireplace, November is a great month to do so, between the peak seasons.

Stories you might have missed Wednesday …
• Planned Parenthood to lay off 75 workers as it consolidates Oregon oversight
• Charges filed against UO football player, as affidavit details high-speed car chase
• EPA notifies homeowners near J.H. Baxter it will test properties for contamination
