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.

There also should be no such thing as Vacation Rentals... JUST FOR RENT Signs.

We moved to Bend, after our town of Paradise, ca. Burned down to buy a home and got priced out immediately! We are now "Apartment Dwellers", that feel somewhat without a stake in this "Great Community!"

It's due to greed. When Bend was still Bend the rents were fair.

Too many people, too many cars. Four people meet up for lunch and each on drives a vehicle. Bike, scooter, carpool.

We are not very technically blessed, and as s result CANNOT get parking app to work. All it did was charge us for a space we did not use. End result, we NO LONGER go to Bend for ANY event !!!

So much money has been wasted regarding unsuccessful, trendy, parking technology in Downtown Bend. I do not anticipate this latest idea to be any better.

With too many people and not enough parking spaces, I can tell you the only solution. Another parking garage. Bend loves to waste money. You don't need to spend a million dollars of technology to tell you that. Stop Bend, Stop.

Grey van on the 97 near Empire for over a week parked at a homeless camp. They're one distracted driver away from death.
