The only long-term solution to high housing costs is more housing.

Tax Payer subsidized housing projects have been tried before... They Don't Work because government taxes/subsidies run out (New York). Get rid of Urban Growth Boundaries.

Why? Everything the government touches get more expensive and fails in the long run.

As an airline pilot and someone who previously walked in that area on the East side of Bend, I am totally against the city ruining yet another nice area of town. And the discounted homes for teachers is BS, These are the same people who ditched our kids during Covid while everyone else had to work.

Right, that's why property values are plummeting and people are leaving in droves. 🙄

Sounds like a nice socialist housing project planned by government Marxist subsidized by hard working TAX Payers. Oregon needs to get rid of Urban Growth Boundaries and open land up for investment and create competition so contractors can build witch would increase supply & bring down some cost.

Bend is already overpopulated and has lost much of what made it such a nice place to live - namely, the beautiful natural areas in and around it that have been covered over with roads, subdivisions and businesses. If we stop building more neighborhoods and businesses, people will stop moving here.

Its time to take it down unless it can be restored.

Unless there is some sort of public health hazard, government has no business in destroying private property. Being an 'eye sore' doesn't cut it.

We are in a drought. The water needs to be conserved. Not used for fun.

Water…..that’s the reason. Ridiculous to have a facility like this when everyone knows the issue with water. Surfers can drive to the coast. Simple as that

Danielle Bladez We live in a desert and a water park affects water use and the desert climate. People need to remember this is not a tropical area so adding a lot of vegetation and water parks, create issues. We will always have drought issues, please think about the future of where we live!

We don’t need another luxury development with water features in the desert in the midst of an environmental crisis and drought. Residents risk further displacement with the increase in luxury development and not enough affordable housing.

We live in the desert. Regardless of the developers’ claims, we recognize that water is scarce and building a surf park in this location made no sense. A pat on the back to the council.

This is not what this city needs or wants. I hope this is the end of it!

We are in a drought. Rancho Mirage's Mayor already gave the ok on the proposed master-planned developpment lagoon. I think it is terrible. Where is this water coming from?

We need a younger generation in the valley and this would have brought in more income for La Quinta, but of course there are those that don't want more traffic and the noise that it may occur. I am 64 and I love having fun things going on here and I do not mind the noise of fun!

Not many can afford $500.00 a wave in a private wave park we can't go to.
