having lived in another city with a bag ban. they are terrible legislation. All they do is make impromptu shopping more difficult, which means shopping online vs local just got another win. If Bend wants more recycling they should offer weekly home service instead of bi-weekly.
rent control... or trying to artificially lower prices in any scenario has never worked anywhere. If you artificially try and beat the supply and demand curve you just pay for it in a different way... like wasting half your day in a bread line like in Russia.
