YES! We need another multi-tiered parking deck closer to the west side of downtown. the existing one is too far to walk from in bad weather or if you are elderly or incapacitated.

Face it, Bend is not the wonderful town it used to be. It's a big city with big city issues and mind sets. It will only get worse. Next they'll want to put meters in to "pay for fixing the problem".

I dont even try going any more now. No parking, even with parking garage.

Kathy Snyder

Why is there not designated parking for trucks? They create dangerous driving through town! Bend is so far behind this problem!

John Philo

That is one of the reasons I never go there. The other is because of all the derelicts.

Judi Vanderpool

I stopped going downtown to shop or eat a couple of years ago because of the parking. People are rude don't hesitate when you try backing out unless they want your space. Big trucks are problem also!

I've always found parking without a problem downtown. I also choose to walk or bike on busy days, so that takes that problem out of the equation altogether!

Bend - why come to Californicated Bend.

I rarely visit downtown Bend, so I don't have trouble finding parking there.

I'm against the footbridge because it might have environmental damages.

I do know people that are struggling to find housing. Rent continues to go up and it's hard to find a good place at a decent price.

I am myself, would love a place of my own but I refuse to pay over 1200$ for a 2 Bedroom. We scewed up by letting rent be increased every year. Sure we have them a percentage cap but we never said how many years in a row they can do it to a renter. So now yearly rent increase out does any raise or c

It's to damn expensive for rent and banks are stingy.

Democrats raise minimum wage

It's me! We are a family that has created a cleaning company providing discounted cleaning rates for veterans and front line workers. We are out here trying to do something and it doesn't go far these days.

I have been looking for housing for over a year. I am on disability, and bring in less than $1000/month, and there is no housing available for people in my situation. I have looked all around this area, and Portland, with no luck. I need subsidized rent, and the waiting lists are between 3-5 years.
