The housing crisis is critical here. Yet Bend continues to not realize the issue at hand and continues to support the "Not in my backyard" attitude.

Lots of room on all sides of Bend. You just have to be willing to expand some. But no matter where they are built, many lane roads need to me made 4 lanes.

The westside of Bend needs to share in owning the housing growth / needs that the city is experiencing - rather than continuing to burden primarily the east side.

The traffic infrastructure on the west side can not handle any more. Affordable multi-family housing (only) would be welcome once the City gets caught up.

Traffic is already bad enough without high-density housing exascerbating the issue.

There is way too much traffic on the west side of town. A developers fee of $60,000 won't do very much to relieve the residents and visitors traffic woes. Unsafe for residents, first responders and t

Now that we are expanding the UGB; we should build them on the eastside. The Westside can't handle the traffic; especially if there's a fire.

there are already enough things to watch out for at CRR... wildlife, bikes, pedestrians, etc ...and not a sidewalk anywhere... would prefer not to see the result of an ATV vs. auto/truck...

Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?
