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.

The federal budget deficit would be EASILY diminished if the Rs in Congress would vote to make the tax system fairer by making the top richest pay their fair share. But they won't. They'd rather take from the poor+ middle class and sale public lands vs. doing the obvious and fairest remedy!!

It is a shameful idea. These lands belong to all of us, and are not for sale.

Hey, If Mike Lee wants to sell Utah's public lands, see how his constituents like it with theirs. Stay away from Oregon and the other states who don't like it. If Trump wants his big ugly bill to pass, reimburse the government for what the taxpayers pay for his golfing at his resorts + his parade.

This would be a crime and one that is irreversible. If Trump needed the money so bad, maybe he shouldn’t have spent our hard-earned tax money on his birthday parade. I am a public land owner and I oppose this proposition. How dare Mike Lee try pulling off this crap on us. We’re not stupid.

Public lands are our heritage due to the foresight of great individuals. Only those interested in profiteering propose and support the rape of Oregon and public properties.

The terminal expansion is exciting and so needed! This airport is nice already but expanding and updating it is necessary given the growing demand. My family and I use it regularly and we look forward to more travel options and amenities.

I wouldn't use the word "excited," but it will be a welcome change!

More & bigger planes? Huge power lines coming in basically to support data centers. Central Oregon is long gone from the gem it once was.
