State regulations and taxes are the problem. The people who can afford to build apartments are big money. Reduce zoning regulations, property taxes and get rid of Urban Growth Boundaries to expand land use and create competition. Then rents would go down. Government over reach is the problem period.

There also should be no such thing as Vacation Rentals... JUST FOR RENT Signs.

We moved to Bend, after our town of Paradise, ca. Burned down to buy a home and got priced out immediately! We are now "Apartment Dwellers", that feel somewhat without a stake in this "Great Community!"

Vacation rentals make owners more money with less hassle

It's due to greed. When Bend was still Bend the rents were fair.

Absolutely, do not do this. It's ridiculous if you want to slow people down. Put in speed bumps but do not impede traffic and it looks disgusting. It looks stupid. You've already ruined enough streets in this town for bicyclers no more. Do no more use speed bumps if you want to slow people down
