And it was just beautiful!!! Plus, the people who own that house now are just as nice as can be, as are the neighbors. Bad past, but rising up.

I agree with the Bogus report of "Many have died........." and the "Dead Zone........". If you've been there, the Bend Shire that is, you can tell. The Shire is ALIVE!
Go check it out.
Lots of things growing there.
We are there it make sure that it does.

"Many people have committed suicide relating to this development."
"Many"? Since when does "many" mean "one"? Don't post bogus information on websites, Bilbo -- not good for your credibility.

Why is there a problem? The American way is to turn this property over to HUD to guarantee low income housing for sub-prime borrowers. Speculators and foreign investments will follow the deflated dollar and our third world economy will benefit from the sale of real estate the same as it has from the sale of industries.

Sounds like Sauron lives there.
Bendbubble blog will also give you the heebiejeebies. He/she takes conspiracy theories to a whole different level. Banks, hitmen and life insurance in a small town. Read it for the entertainment value.
Not a good place if you are a wannabe developer or private equity to burn.

Many people have committed suicide relating to this development.
Here in Oregon, we call "The Shire", the Dead-Zone.
Virtually every developer involved has met a strange death, usually ruled suicide.

In the past 30 days, Bend has lost four of its most prominent Developers to suicide.
