Deschutes County has enough of these resorts using up natural resources. They don't help our housing shortage. These houses are second and third vacation homes for non-residents who benefit from tax breaks.

Yes. These "Resort Communities" become nothing more than a 2nd home refuge for wealthy out-of-state residents. Their wealth adds little to the local economy, other than higher home prices for county residents. As they say in South County - "Don't Bend La Pine".
It's disrespectful to the locals who live in that neighborhood when the businesses don't have enough off street parking. Allowing buildings to go up without enough parking is ridiculous!

ReplyCentral Oregon is running out of water. Houses should be for full time residents not wealthy vacation rentals and second vacation homes.
