The government should pay, NOT THE TAXPAYERS, they spend lots of money helping other countries, now it's time to help the U.S. citizens. And not use our taxes or charge us for it.

Government has no money, ever, it is always tax payers money, unless they print money which creates inflation which always hurts the poorest people. Free stuff for the people sounds nice, but socialism has not worked anywhere in 100 years. It creates more takers than contributors.

Possible solutions include the Gov't pays, decrease real property values, reform HR, wages, redo Rental Agreements or We CAN... The definition of a truly Great Generation is the ability and willingness to change established rules and regulations in consideration of people over profit.

If some people don't get help, they will just end up homeless, and it will cost taxpayers one way or the other to fix the problems.

It is our responsibility to provide housing for all not just some.

We don't live in a socialist country. If people start relying on hand outs (unless they have a reason to like being disabled or being elderly) they will never get anyplace.

No. I am sorry but Socialism has never worked. If someone is unable to live in a certain area they need to move. Taxpayers should not have to subsidize someone's rent so they can enjoy a certain lifestyle in an unaffordable area.

I would like dedicated bike paths north to south and east to west, that we do not share with cars. Cars in Bend do not work with cyclists. We should be like every other city.

STREETLIGHTS!!! I've had it with the dark sky BS. My neighborhood street is dark as pitch.. You can't see anything. There are PLENTY of ways to preserve "dark sky" and still have streetlights that point downward. I have lived in neighborhoods in Bend that have those kinds of lights, but not NWX.

The best improvement for safety and traffic flow on Reed market Road is the Railroad over pass ASAP

Shoulders for bikes or NO RIDING ZONE on 2 lane roads with no shoulders!!! It is absurdly dangerous and an unworkable situation!

I live in NW Crossing and would like to know how the city plans to handle the huge amount of traffic that will occur from the hundreds of homes being built west of Mt. Washington Drive. Dumping all that traffic onto already crowded Skyliner, Shevlin Road and Mt.Washington is NOT a good option!

roundabouts with clear bike path. Drivers are shouting at cyclists that are following the law to go AROUND the round-about in the crosswalk/sidewalk path

It seems to me that there are already enough potholes in Bend. Why would you want more? That does not make sense. Nope, it just doesn't make any sense.
