Might as well look like Portland at this point because many Portlanders are moving here.

Reach for the sky, Bend! Be that big city you know you want to be. Then expand up and down the 97 corridor. Build it and "they" will come. And we all know who "they" are.

Help fight sprawl by building up.

Let's keep the footprint of the city smaller and be able to provide services that will reach everyone. Transportation, events, schools, healthcare, shopping, etc.

We need to prevent urban sprawl. Also, we cannot expand out until we have infrascructure. Sewer lines, road construction and power lines are expensive.

It is better for the environmental impact to allow more housing in rural areas. EXPAND. Go OUT.

Trump is a clear danger to Democracy. I don't think MAGA people actually listen to his "speeches"/rambling offensive tirades of many half-truths.. but also easily disproven outright lies. How anyone can support him at this point, is bizarre.

I voted for Trump because of his policies. Harris has none, just the same terrible Biden policies.

This type of tax will always be passed on to we consumers. Oregonians already pay an income tax. It's another heavy burden on Oregon consumers that will be passed on to us - the increased costs is nothing but a hidden tax.

This is a sneaky way to get sales tax in place and will add as much as 15% to the consumer's cost for retail purchases.

It's a hand out to the rich who can afford to live here only 200 days out of the year.
