Rents need to keep up with the housing market or single family home rentals will disappear.

Business people do not invest in business's that have price controls on them.

Just one more notch in the socialist agenda. They want to control everything and get rid of the free market.

No news we have an affordable housing problem in Bend, so why would anyone think this high of a cap is right??

There are two problems. First liberals in the legislature think they (government) should run eveything and the laws consequences is rents will go higher as owners take places off the market.

The effect of the "unintended consequences" will weigh heavy on this sloppy legislation. End result will be higher rents and fewer rentals available. Good job...NOT!

9.9% is an outrageous increase for most working families. If the rent is 2000 per month, 9.9% is 198 per month. And if it's another 9.9 next year that would be 217 per month.

TOO MUCH! almost 9.9% annually is allowing a maximum of 99% every ten years

That is a Hell of an Interest Rate underwritten by folks living paycheck to paycheck: $99 per $1000 in monthly rent. How does that factor with other reasonable and neccessary expenses? Total not part!

Never should have been allowed in the first place! Bend needs to develop a site with bathrooms, showers and rules,like NO drugs and NO trash. At least Redmond is trying to help these people. Take a. Lesson from them. Get off the dime and solve the problem

I say move the campers off forest land and onto main street if you want public funding for homelessness in Bend to become an immediate priority!!!

They have had excessive amount of time to move off land they are not even allowed to live on!

They have had ample time to move. Vegetation reduction helps slow and or stop wildfires that will eventually hit that area and destroy millions of dollars worth of homes and people's lives.

Living in SE Bend I really enjoyed going to China Hat with my Jeep to off road and walk with my dogs. The thought of being shot has kept me from doing that for a while now. Good riddance to the homeless and make it where they can't come back.

it is public land, NOT someones home! The public cannot use it without fear of saftey. We DONT need another human caused fire that happens EVERY year out there, we have enough to worry about with mother nature fires. Time to move on!

Being homeless is usually the result of bad choices. My taxes help pay for government land. Living there rent free and creating tons of garbage, being a true threat to causing wildfires, behaving in a lawless manner angers too many of us who manage to pay for real housing. Move them out now.

We all have problems in life why do they think it is ok to do what they are doing, when the rest of us pay our taxes, go to work, get counseling if we have problems. The amount they spend on drugs, they could pay rent. It’s a choice and their choice is to do drugs and not work. DEATH and TAXES!!!

This homeless problem is a choice. These people are drug addicts that need to get clean and go back to work. They should be put into rehab while being counseled for their personal problems. Once clean they should be put to work doing tasks that prisoners do. If they refuse, then jail them.

The Homeless Campers are the wrong people on the wrong landscape due to their lack of cognitive awareness of fire. I and many others are willing to share grace for their position in life when they are willing to improve their situation through counseling, accepting shelter to transition life.

They are humans and have no other options.We try not to let that happen to unwanted pets, yet have no problem in letting it happen to, what many consider, unwanted people!
