Too many regs in general. One reason we're 5000 units short of what we need.

Bend needs affordable housing to buy. Building rentals only increases the investors opportunities for greed. We need more home ownership so people can build value. The globalists goal is no more private property for citizens and they must be stopped.

Bureaucracy can be paralyzing at times and always an obstruction.

The term affordable is ambiguous. Affordable for who? When a house payment is less than rent yet one still can't afford the house payment. Yeah! That's affordable!

Yes, I agree. I no longer believe that elections in liberal states are honest. From city to state level. I also believe that Christine actually won. Can anyone believe that people keep voting for the disasterous policies that are destroying every liberally run city and state? Portland or California?

To many regulations for anything you build or do. Between Taxes/Fees/Regulations or anything the government touches it makes everything cost more. Less government all our lives would be better. Did you know the Number 1 employer in Oregon is the government?

That seems to be the only place available to get it done NOW!! There's NO reason to want to have it in the UGB and if the answer to that is that's to far from services whoever runs the place can offer bus service.

Whats the difference between managed or not managed? They won't comply with rules or any type of regulation. Bus them to Pland or CA. It's much cheaper.

Stop enabling these people. I agree with the previous comment. Also, I would like to say that being poor does not mean being trashy!

The apartments I live in have even had some people camp on the grass right outside our doors. Interesting that there wasn’t a designated area for them to move into before kicking them all out into the whole community. Now instead of them feeling safe they are constantly moving around.

When I started seeing all these encampments pop up along hwy 97. Is this what Bend wants?? I am disgusted how much we have to pay for a clean up that should have diverted in the first place. Not to mention the drug lord among those on Hunnell. It Infuriates me to see where my tax dollars go.

Duh! Where do you think they would go? I still say buying them a bus ticket to Portland (where they're welcome) is a lot cheaper than continuing to have to clean up their mess at the taxpayers expense.
