As nice and polite as the mayor of Bend and City officals appear, they are the problem of overdevelopment and the collaspse of the local economy. Their relationships with developers have defaced the character of Bend, homoginzed and disfigured the look and feel of our community. Take for example the people in the city Building permits and Enforcement. For years our neighborhood has complained about the developer D.H Horton. The past 3 years they have hung an orange plastic fensing along the rim of the Deschutes River to the horror of everyone. Amy Barry, an otherwise nice lady, ignores the wishes of home owners and sides with D.H.Horton of allow this unlawful structure.
There are many more important examples...... but most of us must get back to more productive work this afternoon. Bend City problems are very distracting to a working and productive community. More Later.
