Where is the water for all those new homes coming from. We have a finite resource, and rampant expansion of new homes is reckless. We are in a major drought and it's not going away magically. Are we going to keep building until suddenly our taps run dry? This is stoopid! This is self inflicted. NO

It won't be affordable, and we are in a drought. Unless there is WAY more snow coming on in the near future we should stop building.

People are fleeing the big cities because they are no longer habitable. Problem is, they are bringing their ideals and politics with them which contributed to the larger cities becoming trash heaps. It's coming to central Oregon.

Don't call it affordable housing. Call it what it is: compact slums

Bend's growth is already out of hand and poorly designed.

Infrastructure and water are not ready for the current demand much less additional demand.

I don't believe we need to make Bend any larger.

I don't want to plan ahead that much - prefer the spontaneous outings.

Your question really needs to address wilderness camping as that activity impacts greatly the wilderness landscape. Day, permits, visits are far less destructive to the Three Sisters Wilderness and easier to obtain.

Your already paying for high gas prices to get there

"Your" already paying? Did you think the price of gas included admission to wherever "you're" going? How about Disneyland? "Your" already paying for the gas to go there so it should be free, right? Maybe if you fly they should pay you?

Just one more thing you have to pay for

It is enforced to preserve the overall wilderness experience to benefit all who recreate and obtain a wild connection to Nature.

Dude, try to hike the Wonderland Trail at MRNP. It is a lottery for dates - good luck.
