Where is the water for all those new homes coming from. We have a finite resource, and rampant expansion of new homes is reckless. We are in a major drought and it's not going away magically. Are we going to keep building until suddenly our taps run dry? This is stoopid! This is self inflicted. NO

It won't be affordable, and we are in a drought. Unless there is WAY more snow coming on in the near future we should stop building.

People are fleeing the big cities because they are no longer habitable. Problem is, they are bringing their ideals and politics with them which contributed to the larger cities becoming trash heaps. It's coming to central Oregon.

Don't call it affordable housing. Call it what it is: compact slums

Bend's growth is already out of hand and poorly designed.

Infrastructure and water are not ready for the current demand much less additional demand.

I don't believe we need to make Bend any larger.

You can grow or you can die. If parents want their children to grow up and to live here we need growth to do that. Good jobs! Next we need to get the cost of housing here down so people who grow up here can afford to buy homes here!

I love that it will bring more jobs, and no longer waiting 1-2 weeks for delivery

Mayor Fitz has already indicated there’s a water issue so why are we bringing a huge business into Redmond without a resolution first? There’s also a huge traffic consideration that needs to be addressed.
