Housing SquareOffs

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!

Thank you Christine drazen for putting it on, that's horrible bend city council didnt go, I wish Christine drazen would have won but because of fraud she didn't

Nothing about it is affordable. Pure greed

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?

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

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.
