I already do. I use it to buy my tags for all my vehicles. I get them in the mail in about 4 days which is amazing for the DMV

Parking is necessary for businesses to survive. Monies should be spent on the needs of the majority of people.

The majority of people drive. It doesn't make sense to spend a disproportionate amount of money on something used by a very small portion of the population.

Completely agree. We are seeing way to much increase in spending. No more roundabouts, no more parks, no more spending. The economy is bad and people are paying much higher prices for everything but still our local government is spending.

We aren't Portland and we don't want to be Portland. Stop wasting our money on a very small percentage of the populace. Bend is growing way to fast and parking for cars is needed.

I quit going to downtown Bend because the parking is a disaster. Not building parking will NOT decrease vehicle travel it only creates congestion and traffic stress. I have no problem with bike lanes just the spandex nazis that use them.

I believe increasing parking will cause higher demand because it is move available, improving alternatives will generate demand for those instead and lessen the parking issue.

We purchased E-Bikes, we use them to commute to work, medical appointments go shopping and most other locL travel needs. The biggest drawback(s) are lack of safe places to park them.

its nice you can afford an expensive e bike when most of the population has to cut back to 1 or 2 meals a day so they can afford rent.

The state should not be able to say what they think you need to do to make ends meet as an owner.

Make ends meet? Are you kidding? Rents in Bend should provide a tidy profit for anyone.

State regulations and taxes are the problem. The people who can afford to build apartments are big money. Reduce zoning regulations, property taxes and get rid of Urban Growth Boundaries to expand land use and create competition. Then rents would go down. Government over reach is the problem period.

I am a (very small time) landlord, since I rent an apartment in my basement. Rents have gone through the roof, and I don't think renters should be subjected to huge increases from year to year.

Investment greed has caused the problem. The increases have become ridiculous. Some landlords raise rents every six months. They seem to think that Central Oregon should pay California prices. People move away from the nightmare they create but never learn a lesson.

Being a landlord should be a side hustle, not your main income. Then you could charge fairly, not rip people off to get rich.

I'm on limited income. Rent is as high as I can go now. If it's raised more I will be homeless. We need to stop raising prices or there will be a major influx of homeless people. Trapped into homelessness with nowhere to turn.

Oregon needs rent control laws that do not overly profit the investor
