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!

Fraud? What are you talking about?

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?

Beginning to look like the city wants to be a mini Portland. Not what Central Oregon is all about.

Piping the canals to conserve water is the logical next step. Where does Commissioner Adair think the wildlife got a drink before the canals were made over 100 years ago? I will admit reducing Junipers and reinvigorating our wild grasslands makes sense.

The canals were not put in as "water features" for people's backyards. Build your own water feature and pay for the water. This water is meant for agriculture.

Commission Adair, where do you think wildlife get water when irrigation water is off Oct-March? Please share your plan and funding strategy for removing 5 million juniper trees. What will happen to the wildlife that live in those trees. Your argument is weak.

Why do Bend residence have to accommodate Jefferson county. I'm sure someone up there can figure a way go pump the water they need out of Lake Billy Chinook

Wildlife has relied on these open canals for decades. There is no other option for critter water.
