Hello,
I am writing in reference to project number PLUGB20220115 at 21455 HWY 20 Bend.
With the median house price in Bend at 770k is it clear that we are in dire need of affordable housing, and
plenty of it. The expansion of the Urban Growth Boundary on this 35 acre plot would provide this much
needed housing if it were medium density residential.
It is important to have units available at every level from 30‐80% AMI and to have a focus on homeownership.
To name a few of the benefits of homeownership: homeowners are more likely to vote, their children are
more likely to graduate and to experience good health.
In order to keep affordable housing affordable, I suggest a portion of the housing to be deed restricted.
