There are a number of people here in Bend who want more space and a smaller town. It's getting expensive here too, but hopefully there's the political will to not repeat all of the mistakes of San Fran, Boulder and other places. I certainly do my share of talking to people like city councilors when I can.

If anyone's up here visiting, I'll happily buy you a beer - or whatever you prefer, but... there's lots of beer here.
