The main issue with this development is the impact it has on the most loved and visited part of the Deschutes within Bend city limits. The editorial board's characterization of the discussion as xenophobic is wildly overreaching. This project has attracted anger because time and time again the voice those who live and work here are ignored by the self interest of developers.

Also, we have a specific kind of housing crisis - affordable. This is a high end apartment complex. It is a fallacy to believe that competition within high end housing equals affordable housing. Competition in affordable housing equals affordable housing. The city is being further and further divided by the inequality of development on East and West sides and this unhealthy trajectory the city is taking is going is exacerbating the socio-economic issues we're already experiencing. If we need housing so bad then why are there single family homes on 20 acre lots planned in the Discovery NW development that is within the UGB!? Where is the editorial board's criticism of discovery northwest if you are truly concerned about the -affordable -housing crisis?
