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.

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?

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.
