The council make enough salary to buy apartment buildings or big mansions while normal people are left to be judged by them who live in a bubble.

People should be able to build what they can afford. They need to conform to SOME regulations, but don't make it so difficult for everyone. And people need to keep their noses out of neighbors' business.

I have a tiny house, and when I went down to the county to try to obtain a legal permit the guy working LAUGHED IN MY FACE. The city needs to do more to provide options for the middle class. I work full time, born and raised here with a college degree and I can barely afford Bend anymore...

$1500.00 a day is a cruel and completely out of place fine. Everybody would/should agree $1500.00 a day is outlandish plus affordable house is hard to come by

I do not agree with the cities regulations on tiny homes. There is no affordable housing for regular people trying to make a living.

His tiny home should be counted as a RV if it's on wheels they're being ridiculous and the neighbor is freaking nosy for turning him in people don't have anything better to do than bother other people that are trying to make a home for themselves unbelievable I'm glad I don't live there

Go get license plates for your trailer then it's a vehicle and you should be allowed to park at your driveway. Also check your laws there is always a loophole to be found. If you own the property look up homesteading. Join tiny homes on Facebook they have a lot of advice lots of lawyers join them.

My HOA only allows one shed in our backyards. So the second shed will be on wheels with a tow hitch. Therefore second shed is not a shed at all. It's a tailor.

It's on his property, go collect money somewhere else, Bend.

The City of Bend gives only lip service to affordable housing.

Affordable housing is only lip service. A very ambiguous term. Affordable for who? Affordability is a subjective term.

It's his property. The home is nice. People need to mind their own damn business. I could see if it was something that was endangering someone else but we have apartments here in Washington state that are smaller than that.

City encouraged such building. Yes, builder should have obtained permit BUT the City itself set up the road- blocks to do so. What a bunch of hooey! Ugh.

There is a housing crisis in Oregon and the tuny home met all criteria except for wheelchairs. There are lots of 2nd story apartment buildings that cannot be accessed by Wheelchairs. The city is afraid of affordable housing. They just want people on the streets!

Just more liberal regulators. Bend has become over regulated and over priced. Ease the regulations and just leave people alone to live their lives in a way they can afford. Stop the ridiculousness already! $1,500 a day? You've all lost your ever loin' minds. You simply have no hearts and souls.

The rules that Deschutes have is why we have so many homeless and the rents are outrageous. So we will continue to see people on streets as the county workers laugh in our faces as we try to deal with their messes . I say too much government is making our lives unbearable

Absolutely disgusting and assured that Counties are fighting this type of solution to extremely high rents and low surplus of affordable housing. I am so very tired of short sighted , uninspired government...both local and federal. We need solutions and Tiny Homes offer a truly viable one.

I think if managed properly by the Super. The budgets are workable with fewer employees multi tasking and wearing more than one hat!Any buisness can benefit with improved efficiency!!

Even a friendly dog with excellent recall can cause real problems for the owner walking their reactive dog on leash; a dog running free is highly exciting to other dogs; it's not fair for the owner of the reactive dog to have to deal with that overstimulation in a "leash only" area.

I recently I commented that it is not fair. But your comment makes me feel incorrect. I have had a reactive dog before and I feel that your comment is valid.

If it is a law and you break it regardless of what it refers to that is breaking the law- which by definition is criminal. If you put your pet in a situation that is unsafe that is your responsibility and ergo you are a bad pet owner. Pets are like our kids, it's our job to keep them safe.

yes because they are putting their dog as well as people with leashed pets at risk. Not all dogs like other dogs and not all people are comfortable with strange dogs running up to them.

There are laws and rules for a reason. No one should think that laws and rules don't apply to them. If they want their dog off leash then go out in the woods where no one else is or to a fenced dog park.

BECAUSE most dog owners that do this have zero respect for others or property.. NEVER pick up poop and feel entitled

There are leash laws for good reason. On a side note Bend Parks and Recreation need to put up signs at dog parks reminding owners that they are liable for damages their dogs cause to other dogs or humans under Oregon law. Bend PD treat dog parks like they are outside of their jurisdiction.

A bad dog owner is someone who is not able to care of the animal or mistreats the animal. The person is just not considerate of others and will break the law for whatever reason they may have. *if you have an aggressive dog it is the OWNERS responsibility to keep the dog under control anywhere

There are many factors, if your dog has great recall and obeys to stay in a heal being off leash is fine as the dog is still in verbal control. Dogs that do not listen should not be off leash.

Maybe there pet is trusted and not reactive. Why does a none relative happy pet need to be restricted?
