Is Bend gripped by housing issues and traffic as much as the Bay Area or NYC or wherever?
The folks I know in smaller US towns simply don't have the same concerns about parking spaces as those in high-demand, high-population, central large cities. And comparing those cities to typically-small-to-medium-size Italian cities doesn't result in very actionable practical plans.
- davidw 3y agoBend has very serious housing woes. The housing crisis, at this point, has spread out from the epicenter type places like the Bay Area. One of my best friends here got priced out and now drives in 40 minutes from a nearby town. That's bad for 1) him and his family 2) the environment 3) traffic. If you ask people on Nextdoor, they'll probably tell you there's also a traffic crisis, but it's not true.
