Do you think the city of Bend should have high rise buildings or expand its urban growth boundaries?

Bend should have higher buildings built in the city instead of expanding. We're becoming a bigger city ad as we keep developing, higher buildings should be constructed.

Tell you what. I'll connect with the mayor and have him help me post two, big shiny painted 4'X9' sheets of plywood on each end of town stating that ....."SORRY FOLKS, WERE ALL FULL UP!!!...Know this all: who come: (Your in Central Oregon for a good time........not a long time!!)

Might as well look like Portland at this point because many Portlanders are moving here.

Reach for the sky, Bend! Be that big city you know you want to be. Then expand up and down the 97 corridor. Build it and "they" will come. And we all know who "they" are.

Help fight sprawl by building up.

Let's keep the footprint of the city smaller and be able to provide services that will reach everyone. Transportation, events, schools, healthcare, shopping, etc.

We need to prevent urban sprawl. Also, we cannot expand out until we have infrascructure. Sewer lines, road construction and power lines are expensive.
