Energy SquareOffs

This is just one piece of the economic puzzle, and not indicative of future results for our wallets. Most of us have adjusted to the higher fuel prices by curtailing fueling up when we can avoid it, but the lower fuel costs still don't offset the still-rising cost of groceries. Or natural gas.

Prices will go back up soon. Meanwhile, we still enjoy the lowest gas prices on the planet.

It would just create another bureaucratic requirement for residents at the expense of homeowners and would not accomplish anything. Prospective buyers can already higher a home inspector to evaluate a home before they purchase. the City Council should BUTT OUT!

Another hidden tax!

That should be up to the buyer to do that NOT the seller.

Another perfect example of the hypocrisy of the current city council, who seems determined to ruin Bend. They whine and cry about affordable housing, then add more red tape to make houses more expensive. It's up to a buyer to understand the home they're buying, not the government!!

It only adds to the cost of buying an already over priced home. If buyers want to know what an energy score is, they can pay for an energy survey on their own when buying the house, at their own expense. This council needs to start listening to what their constituents want, and stop wasting time.

Just another example of government sticking their nose into private citizens' personal affairs! If a potential buyer and seller want to work that issue out as part of a (potential) sale, that should be THEIR choice, not a mandate by the City of Bend....

Another hidden tax
