The only long-term solution to high housing costs is more housing.

Tax Payer subsidized housing projects have been tried before... They Don't Work because government taxes/subsidies run out (New York). Get rid of Urban Growth Boundaries.

Todd Brown

It is the Right thing to do!

Stang1960

Why? Everything the government touches get more expensive and fails in the long run.

As an airline pilot and someone who previously walked in that area on the East side of Bend, I am totally against the city ruining yet another nice area of town. And the discounted homes for teachers is BS, These are the same people who ditched our kids during Covid while everyone else had to work.

City developers are ruining bend

Right, that's why property values are plummeting and people are leaving in droves. 🙄

Sounds like a nice socialist housing project planned by government Marxist subsidized by hard working TAX Payers. Oregon needs to get rid of Urban Growth Boundaries and open land up for investment and create competition so contractors can build witch would increase supply & bring down some cost.

Bend is already overpopulated and has lost much of what made it such a nice place to live - namely, the beautiful natural areas in and around it that have been covered over with roads, subdivisions and businesses. If we stop building more neighborhoods and businesses, people will stop moving here.

Parking and city revenue out weigh the small gain in revenue the business say they receive.

Gary Dehm

Simply, they're unfair to other businesses. Each space represents potential income for one or multiple businesses. If parklettes are to remain, businesses should file an application per space with an associated annual fee, subject to increase rent cost/year. They cause more problems than they solve.

Pat Glandon

I don't shop downtown or eat due to lack of parking.

Since nobody sits outside in the cold of winter, why not remove all the outdoor eating areas at least in the winter??

Jay B Lane

Nobody is sitting outside in the winter months and Street dining should be limited May - October months. Also what is not needed is 4 season dining in these structures (walls. Heaters, etc) when restaurants have room inside. If eateries don't have room inside, shouldn't be taking public space

A few circles around the area, I always find a spot. It’s not any different than any other city. I like seeing people enjoying the outdoors. That’s why we live here.

NO, with all the info out there about scams, it is inexcusable for anyone savvy to be taken in by such. However, seniors are particularly vulnerable, and family should assist them in avoiding scams. I had to take away my mother's phone when she entered assisted living and later memory care.
