A Prayer for Bend

Dear little tiny Baby Jeebus,

Thank you for blessing Bend with your bountiful love & goodness. Thank you Baby Jeebus for keeping medians high and volumes low so that Realtors don't have to work so hard.

With the blessings out of the way, I would like to ask, itty bitty tiny Baby Jeebus, that you exercise your religious powers and smite the following intolerable bullshit:

First, little tiny Jeebus, please smite all the motherfuckers that park in handicapped spots who can walk just fine. Please smite them with a car key up the side of their Cali-plated Escalade. And Baby Jeebus, smite the bitches who wait forever in parking lots for other people to leave parking spots, blocking all possible forward motion, so that they might not have to walk an extra 10 feet. Smite the fuckers who leave their shopping cart in driving lanes. Smite the dumbshits who frantically climb over people to buy stupid video game consoles. Smite the dog owners who let their motherfucking dogs bark all night, and shit in the park & don't clean it up. Bless you Baby Jeebus for smiting the fuck out of the dogs & owners who are in constant violation of this simple human decency. In general, tiny Baby Jeebus, smite selfish rude assholes, and smite 'em good.

Little tiny Baby Jeebus, please smite all lawyers. Thank you for smiting Africa with John "Hum-Job" Hummell, asshole lawyer extraordinaire, and please itty bitty Jeebus, give that cocksucker The AIDs or some other bodily-fluid transmitted disease he gets from butt-banging some underaged Afrikaner. But little bitty Baby Jeebus, please smite every motherfuckin lawyer with the AIDs & gonorrhea. I hate those fuckers & they should all die.

And little, tiny Baby Jeebus, smite all the fake-tittied, big-haired Cali skanks that have ever come to Bend. Smite these bitches, and smite their plastic surgeon as well. Smite their augmentation procedures, and little Baby Jeebus, smite their silicon implants with weak spots that burst while they are being titty-banged. Old bitches that look like Frankenstein prostitutes are an abomination, and we both know it. Little Baby Jeebus, it'll simply be easier if you smite every female Realtor in and around Bend, because they are all sleazy ex-Cali-bangers trying to look 20 while they 95. Please make them die, Baby Jeebus.

And Baby Jeebus, thank you for smiting The Plaza, The Shire, and other completely fucked-up retard projects. But Baby Jeebus, I ask you to smite the motherfuckers who lent them the money as well. Smite everyone up the financial chain responsible. Fuckers need to learn some fiscal responsibility, itty bitty baby Jeebus. But Baby Jeebus, I just ask that you not smite Patty Moss, Cascade Bancorp's CEO. It is pretty clear, little Baby Jeebus, that you done smote her ass with an ugly stick unmerciful.

Holy Shit, stop smiting this woman Baby Jeebus!

And in a related non-smiting, for the love of Christ baby Jeebus, do not smite Hillary anymore either.

Little Baby Jeebus, please discontinue the smiting of this woman.

And we thank you Baby Jeebus, for beginning this macro-smiting of all the greedy-ass builders, Realtors, crooked mortgage brokers, and every other get-rich-quick motherfucker that has moved to Bend solely to make a quick buck. But Baby Jeebus, please reserve a special smiting for Randy Sebastian, hypocritical homo-erotic mega-fag. Please, itty bitty Jeebus, smite this fucker with the flesh-eating virus, so they we never again have to endure his smug motherfucking crossed arm bullshit. Please smite Sebastian, Ron Garzini, Ray Kuratek, Jeff Holzman, Larry Craig, and maybe some other in-the-closet Republican faggots, by getting them all caught in a public toilet giving each other the circle jerk. Let Larry Craig be caught looking at Garzini's asshole, Garzini looking at Kuratek's asshole, Kuratek looking at Holzman's asshole, Holzman looking at Sebastians asshole, and Sebastian looking at plans for Shevlin Reserve, which we all know is The Asshole of Bend.

And itty, bitty precious Baby Jeebus, please smite the motherfuckin road between Bend & the Cali border. Smite every North-bound motherfucker on this road with disease, pestilence, and a shotgun blast to the head from some gun-toting LaPine "Minutemen", charged with killing the shit outta Cali bangers come to Bend & fuck it up. Please give Cali-bangers the knowledge that they are to Bend, as the US is to Iraq: Well-meaning selfish fucknuts that are wrecking the place by imposing their will on a blood-thirsty insurgent population that will slaughter their ass at all costs to get rid of them. Please little itty bitty precious Baby Jeebus, smite Cali-bangers, George Bush, fake tittied Realtors, and the US Army in one big motherfucking smiting to give us victims some measure of your intolerance, hatred, and cruel irony in wiping out unwanted invaders.

Little tiny, itty bitty Baby Jeebus, please smite the big box retail invasion of Central Oregon as well. Smite Trader Joes, if only so they'll close & take at least a few consumerist freak Cali's with them. Smite the Porsche dealer, the Mercedes dealer, and Pronghorn. Smite all upscale restaurants, like Deep and the lame ass Merenda. Smite all upscale consumerist bullshit, which as you know full well itty bitty Jeebus, would be the smiting of 95% of Bend. Please baby Jeebus, smite the consumerist nightmare that is America.

And little tiny, itty bitty Baby Jeebus, despite the fucker cutting & pasting some of the same bullshit over & over & over, do not smite BendBust. Only smite him a little when he uses the words "cunt" or "twat", or posts a link to technicolor hemorrhoids. Which of course means he would receive the All Time Mega-Smoting of the Universe. If he does it again, for the love of Christ, itty bitty Jeebus, just shove a shotgun up that cunt's twat, and pull the trigger. And little precious Baby Jeebus, do not smite Timmy. Or Bruce. Or BendBB, despite the fact that he likes to chain his nipple rings up to a paint-shaker. He's an OK guy Baby Jeebus, and I hope that you let me throw him a burrito before the years out. He's lost $200K of the $220K that he paid for his westside sugar shack, and is keeping a stiff upper lip about it. Baby Jeebus, just so you know him when you see him and will avoid smiting his ass, here is a picture of BendBB laughing uncontrollably at the funniest joke he's ever heard:

BendBB: "A girl from Nantucket. That's a good one. I cannot stop laughing."

Speaking of whacko's you can smite on an individual basis, please smite everyone on Bend City Counsel... AGAIN. You done smote 'em once it's clear, as they are the most incompetent pack of dumbfucks to ever walk this planet. But please, just one little extra bit of smiting in 2008, so that Bend is striken with some of the most fucked up shit ever, like ramps for gimps that have 1,000% markup, and even then it ain't to code.

And smite Cushman & Tebbs, pictured here:

Cushman & Tebbs (aka Crockett & Tubbs) right after a closing. Tebbs is the black dude.

Little tiny Baby Jeebus, this ain't exactly Cushman & Tebbs, but if they were dudes, this is exactly what they'd look like. So mow the 2 fuckers down whenever you have a minute.

And little, itty, bitty, tiny Baby Jeebus, smite the shit out of The Bend Bulletin, Cascade Business Buttfuckers, and KTVZ. Smite David Fisher & Anna Sowa, and smite everyone on KTVZ, even the hot chicks, for all those heinous self-serving bio pieces where we have to endure total bullshit like Christian Boris claiming he spends his days in the Cascades when we know full well that metrosexual fucker spends his nights watching gay porn. And little Baby Jeebus even smite the mega-hot Molly Hendrickson, and quasi-weird-hot Nina Mehlhaf for even participating in KTVZ's tired as shit self-serving "We're Local, so don't watch KOHD, and we were first in hi-def so try to forget the 'HD' part of KOHD, we need to keep this monopoly so we can cycle through as many hot-chicks as possible paying them rock ass bottom wages, cuz the station manager is a motherfuckin pervert" bio pieces. Please Baby Jeebus, smite that shit hard. And baby Jeebus, don't forget to smite the Bulletin for only putting RE pieces in the online version of the paper on the way up, and worthless ass bullshit pieces online now that we've busted.

And speaking of bullshit pieces, thank you Baby Jeebus for the Bulletin piece basically printing that this place is a deluded bunch of drug-addicts, by printing this quote from Sandy Henderson, new head of the perennial money-losing BendFilm:

'You know what, there’s got to be Prozac or something in the water, because everybody is happy.’

It's called KOOL-AID Sandy, and it will soon render your mind whithered & useless. And thank you baby Jeebus for this series of idiotic quotes from the same piece:

"“The brilliant thing about L.A. is you see a lot of people at the top of their game,” Henderson says. “You see the very best of it, and you see the worst."

“My question was,” says Bailey, 'Are you too big for BendFilm?’ Given her background, it was like, 'Wow, this person is such a heavy hitter. This person has been in the big leagues. Does she come with a heft that would just overwhelm anyone here in town?’

He answers his own question: “It’s clear that’s not her personality. She doesn’t bring an L.A. personality to the job.”

“Yeah, that’s the best thing I can say about her,” said Bailey. “She doesn’t have an L.A. personality.”

“She came strolling right up to me and said, 'You don’t know me, but I’m going to be on the selections committee next year, because I worked in L.A., and I know film, and I want to be involved in BendFilm.’ I was like, 'Wow, who are you?’”

Again, Baby Jeebus, smite the living fuck out of self-loathing Californians who come here to "get away from Cali-assholes & that whole Cali thing", yet the second they're here they want Central Oregon to be a carbon-copy filled with a rude-ass pack of cocksucking cannibals, just like where they came from. Please baby Jeebus, kill these L.A. glorifying - L.A. hating conflicted motherfuckers. No, scratch that Baby Jeebus: Disfigure the fuckers first, then kill them.

And little Baby Jeebus, for the love of Christ, tell me why The Bulletin has turned into some sort of fucked-up match-making whorehouse, with quotes like this?

In 1987, she moved to the U.S. She would become a legal resident and settle in Los Angeles, “with the singular goal of being involved in film, because it’s always been my passion. It’s always been my first love,” says Henderson, who incidentally is not involved in a long-term relationship.

Baby Jeebus, please tell me why the fuck the marital status of some clearly lesbian Cali-bitch who has just been promoted from selling radio ad time to running a chronic money-losing 2nd rate piece of crap film festival, is the least bit important? Please baby Jeebus, Why?

In closing baby Jeebus, we thank you for the Smitings Of 2008:

  • Medians at $280K, down $100K from the all-time highs at $380K in Sept 2006.
  • Patty Moss losing her CEO job at Cracker-Ass Cracker Broke Cascade Bancorp.
  • The foreclosure on The Plaza, and most likely The Shire, The Garag-mahol & Tuscany Arctic Tropical Pines
  • Mike Hollern for his double-dipping of bullshit with his anti-clothesline Nazification of Awbrey Butte, and his Fake Titty Auction
  • Buena Vista homes rigged auction ripoff which resulted in 100% failure, which will be duplicated in their future Bend auction.

And little Baby Jeebus, please smite me & this blog, also. I'm an asshole & I know it. And itty, bitty Baby Jeebus, smite yourself & religion itself as well. What sort of fucked up indoctrination & brainwashing causes more suffering, death, and hatred than religion, I'll never know. Thank you tiny Baby Jeebus for inventing religion as the most inhumane method of population thinning ever conceived.

And Baby Jeebus, smite our fuckin troops in Iraq. And Jesse Jackson. And smite the bastards that don't want it to be "Merry Christmas", but "Happy Holidays" turning this country into some sort of Generic Religion-Agnostic Zone, fuck you & smite you in the ass. Go back to motherfuckin Syria, you Islamic fuckers. And smite all the black motherfuckers that blame Whitey for all their problems, and then while you're at it, smite Whitey. And smite liberals, conservatives, and for the love of Christ, just kill OJ. And Baby Jeebus, do not smite the Iran nuclear program, and please bring it back, so that we nuke those towel-head motherfuckers and we are dragged into a war-torn conflagration that drags our sorry ass down a peg. This country is fucked up & needs to be kicked in the balls. With a nuke.

In your name we pray, itty bitty tiny precious Baby Jeebus, AMEN.

P.S. And Baby Jeebus, tell all the commenters here that Paul-doh be on vacation for awhile & might not post for a week or 2, and if they don't like it, smite those fuckers hard.

Happy New Year! Pump & Dump, note that #1 investment in Bend is in single family housing at Juniper Ridge.


Investments in Bend Oregon Real Estate - Juniper Ridge - Jan 1, 2008


Bend Oregon has seen some of the fastest growth in the nation in the last few years. Its population has grown steadily and real estate prices have risen dramatically. The real estate market has cooled down some now but there are still some opportunities out there for the smart investor.
Bend Oregon has seen some of the fastest growth in the nation in the last few years. Its population has grown steadily and real estate prices have risen dramatically. The real estate market has cooled down some now but there are still some opportunities out there for the smart investor. The days of buying a house, condo or land and then "flipping" it are over.

The good investments are going to be centered around the City of Bend's new Juniper Ridge development in North Bend. The City Commissioners are planning on a mixed use zoning and have already annexed 500 acres into the city limits. Most of this first phase will be light industrial (IL) zoning and research and Development. But the second phase will possibly have a new four year college campus, some commercial and residential.

This land is all owned by the city of Bend but there are several hundred acres of private property around the development that are for sale now or will be on the market shortly. These are the properties that a smart investor can make some money on.

Most of this land is small hobby farms from 3 to 20 acres. It is currently zoned for low density use. However, the city is in the process of rezoning most of this property and bringing it into the city limits. A new sewer main is proposed to border the south end of Juniper Ridge and run east to the sewer plant

The city is supposed to make their proposed changes public on March 26, 2007. This is two years later than what was initially planned. Delays in infrastructure engineering required by the state have been the cause. So this date is not etched in stone. However, it should be made public soon.

The smart investor could be buying some of the surrounding properties now and possibly doubling their money in a couple of years. Similar land has been selling in the last couple of years for $250,000 per acre and more. Investors should be tying up properties with contingencies prior to that time. There are sellers out there willing to sell their property with an extended closing date subject to rezoning

Development land currently inside the city limits (UGB) is listed for sale at $500,000 to $600,000 per acre. However it's not selling at this time. There is an over supply of available lots. But these lots should sell out this year. It's the authors' opinion that residential land inside the city limits will settle out around $450,000 an acre next year when the city moves the city limits.

Everyone seems to be waiting for the city to make a determination on where the new city limits will be and what the zoning will be. Several investors paid over $250,000 an acre on land outside the UGB thinking that it would be developable and buildable today. That has not happened. Once the boundary proposal is official you will see more activity in the market for development land.

Finished lots on Bends East side have been selling for around $160,000 each. They are around 8,000 square feet. Larger lots sell for more. The minimum lot size today is 4,000 square feet according to city building code. The trend is towards larger homes on smaller lots.

On site infrastructure has been running between $25,000 and $30,000 per lot. Large amounts of rock and or sewer pump stations can add to the costs. Off site costs can also add up quickly. Today's cost to bring in a sewer main is around $100 per foot.

As of the end of February 2007 there were 59 single family lots for sale in Bend with an average size of 5,183 square feet. The average asking price was $164,800. Past sales of bare land outside the city limits on the East side have been averaging $270,000 per acre. Properties with homes and other improvements have averaged $291,000 per acre.

Bends real estate market is cooling its jets for a while but rest assured it will heat up soon.
Bend is a great place to live and there will continue to be more and more people moving here. The development of Juniper Ridge by the city will add more jobs to the mix and the need for more housing.

Investments in land on the outskirts of Bend will pay huge dividends in the future. Much of the land will be zoned for residential. But there is some land that will become commercial or light industrial. An investor does not have to develop the land. Just hold it for a couple of years and resell it.

Trepidation, progress in aviation and retail Cessna purchases Columbia; numerous shops open in Bend

When 2007 began, Central Oregon’s aviation industry was experiencing turbulence.

Throughout the year, Bend’s Columbia Aircraft Manufacturing Corp. endured layoffs, furloughs and slashed hours for its 400-odd workers.

In Redmond, the owner of Lancair International, which makes airplane kits for home assembly, said rising costs of labor and land in Central Oregon made relocation invitations from other states attractive. The company, though, has no plans to move, said CEO Joseph Bartels.

In March, the Malaysian government, which had majority ownership of Columbia Aircraft, reorganized the Bend facility to include members of a New York City-based restructuring company that would later move Columbia through bankruptcy.

“There were certainly periods of trepidation this year that came to the aviation/aerospace industry,” said Roger Lee, executive director of Economic Development for Central Oregon. “I felt happy about the conclusion.”

On Sept. 24, Columbia filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy protection with the U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Portland. At a Nov. 27 bankruptcy court auction in Portland, the world’s largest general aviation company, Cessna Aircraft Co., purchased Columbia for $26.4 million, including certain liabilities.

Wichita, Kan.-based Cessna has promised to keep the Bend facility running, increasing production and employment. The company delivered its first Cessna-named single-piston aircraft Dec. 18.

Cessna’s financial stability will be a boon for Columbia, according to Cessna Chairman, President and CEO Jack Pelton. His company’s 2006 revenues totaled $4.2 billion and the company delivered more than 1,200 planes that year. Its revenues for the first half of 2007 were more than $2.1 billion.

Cessna’s parent company is Textron Inc., based in Providence, R.I. Textron produces Bell helicopters and has industrial and finance divisions.

It also makes E-Z-Go golf carts, Jacobsen lawn equipment and other specialty machine and engine parts, according to its Web site. Textron projects annual revenues of $13 billion for 2007, including Cessna. Textron operates in 32 countries with approximately 40,000 employees.

The aviation industry had another boost late this year — an East Indian billionaire invested nearly $200 million in Bend-based Epic Aircraft, whose parent company is Las Vegas-Based Aircraft Investor Resources LLC. Vijay Mallya, a flamboyant jet-setter with an estimated net worth of $1.5 billion, according to Forbes Magazine, formally announced his investment in Epic in late September.

Mallya is the chairman of Kingfisher Airlines in India and also has investments in the Indian beer and liquor industry and in real estate and pharmaceuticals.

With Mallya’s investment, Epic CEO Rick Schrameck said he will expand his production of experimental jets and turboprops in Bend, which could mean the addition of hundreds more workers.

The employment and production impacts from Cessna and Epic’s investment won’t be seen for another couple years, company officials have said.

From an economic development perspective, the movement in aviation is encouraging, EDCO’s Lee says.

“In light of how people look at the Central Oregon economy and say it’s really tourism and building houses here,” he said, “we have a lot more going on than those two things.”

Seaswirl

While aviation manufacturing had a boost this year, a major employer in Jefferson County left the region. After 35 years in Culver, Seaswirl Boats Inc. left for Little Falls, Minn., where its parent company, Genmar Holdings Inc., consolidated operations. The move meant a loss of roughly 200 jobs in Central Oregon.

Les Schwab

Les Schwab, founder of the nation’s third largest independent tire dealer, died at age 89 on May 18. In more than 50 years, Schwab built his small Prineville tire company from almost nothing into a family owned empire that posted $1.6 billion in sales in 2006 and has more than 7,000 employees — 1,500 of them in Central Oregon — and 400 locations throughout the West.

After Schwab’s death, the company named 17-year company veteran Dick Borgman as CEO. Borgman had been president of the Les Schwab Holding Company Division.

Retail

One year after a city planner said Trader Joe’s was planning to come to Bend’s Cascade Village Shopping Center, the popular California-based grocery store broke ground in 2007. The 13,000-square-foot neighborhood grocery store is located between Food 4 Less and U.S. Highway 97 in north Bend. The store, known for affordable gourmet fare, is expected to open sometime in the first quarter of 2008.

Bend saw a host of new restaurants and shops in other commercial areas. Downtown Bend added roughly two-dozen new restaurants and retailers in 2007, including Portland-based Thai restaurant Typhoon!. Others, including Kuishinbo Kitchen, moved out of downtown to make way for new retailers.

The Old Mill District also added more retailers as it continued to build out phase two of its development along the Deschutes River. The district added a dozen new restaurants and shops, including Ann Taylor Loft, White House Black Market and Greg’s Grill.

While Bend added dozens of new retailers and eateries, a large commercial development in Sunriver remained in the planning stage in 2007. Oregon investment group SilverStar Destinations LLC bought the aging Sunriver Village Mall in 2006 for an estimated $26 million, and has proposed to radically transform the mall into a thriving commercial and residential center.

Developers are proposing a mall with more than 150,000 square feet of commercial space, 583 residential units, buildings up to four stories tall, and underground and ground-level parking that would include a parking garage on the mall’s southeast corner. The mall currently has no housing.

Developers spent much of 2007 working with various Sunriver homeowners and business groups to gain support for the changes. Some residents, though, disapprove of adding housing and taller buildings.

Deschutes County planning commissioners will decide in January whether to approve a zone change for the mall area, which would allow housing. Construction would not begin until the zone change is granted, developers say, adding that the multimillion-dollar project won’t be financially feasible without a residential component.

Repair bill has condo owners on warpath
Group seeks ouster of board members

By David Fisher / The Bulletin
Published: December 30. 2007 5:00AM PST

A group of condominium owners at Seventh Mountain Resort is going to the ballot box to battle a controversial $17.75 million repair assessment.

The group is asking their fellow condo owners to remove six of the nine Association of Unit Owners board members at a special meeting set for Monday.

In their place, the group wants to elect a new slate of board members who have promised to jettison the controversial property assessment in favor of another, presumably lower, repair bill later.

The question for the inn’s 100 or so condo owners could be a pricey one. Depending on the size of their holdings, the current assessment could cost each between $37,000 and more than $106,000, payable over three years.

The battle, in part, centers around the amount of money that may need to be paid to replace the iconic inn’s aging cedar siding and roofing.

To a greater extent, though, the controversy centers around who will pay how much of the bill, and when. And that question, in turn, centers around an agreement that was made four years ago when INNspired, the company that owns and manages the resort’s conference center and other common areas, signed its lease.

INNspired, which is controlled by Eugene-based Papé Properties Inc. and controls about 44 percent of the inn’s total square footage and condo association votes, sank a so-far unspecified amount of money into rebuilding and renovating the inn’s facilities in 2004.

The improvements included updating the conference center and restaurant, and renovating the swimming pool area and ice skating rink.

In exchange, the condo association agreed to give the company a 35 percent credit against any new repair assessments, as long as they were passed before Dec. 31 of this year. After that, the credit would drop to 11 percent.

Studies commissioned by the association showed that it could cost at least $17.75 million to fix the residential units’ ailing siding and roofs, but little was done to start the work or assess the units’ owners until this fall, when the Papé family put their block of votes behind a new slate of board members who voted to apply the assessment to all of the condo units, effective on Nov. 24 — in time to secure the maximum credit for INNspired.

Carol O’Neil, one of the dissident candidates, said all of the inn’s owners know they will face some costs for repairs on the aging buildings, but she thinks the new slate of candidates — which includes Loren Waxman, Peter Smith, Susan Kimes, Charles Cook and Peter Von Hippel — will give all the inn’s owners more confidence in the way the reconstruction is handled.

O’Neil said the new board would revoke the current assessment and call in contractors to assess the potential cost of fixing the inn’s residential buildings.

INNspired Vice President Danny Hollingshead, in a letter earlier this month to homeowners, said that INNspired believes the existing board needs to be allowed to move on as quickly as it can with the assessment and with the repair work, partly to undo damage that has been allowed to fester in the inn’s aging walls.

“Let’s not fall into the same trap that has plagued the Inn of the Seventh Mountain for decades,” Hollingshead wrote. “… We all know that the residential buildings are in desperate need of repair and once the repairs are made we will all see the livability and value of our units improve.”

A group of independent owners has forced the association to call a vote for Monday to decide whether Jordan Papé, his mother, Susie Papé, and board members John Lietz, Keith Dagostino, Thys Heyneker and Hugh Doerschuk, should be removed from the board in favor of the new slate of candidates.

Jordan Papé and Lietz could not be reached for comment.

Owning a CONDO in Bend is ONE FUCKING STUPID THING to DO, even a fucking TIME-SHARE. Note, the bill do this week, is for most people 2X of what the CONDO originally cost. Also the FEE demanded by PAPE is only for SIDING. Theory is 50% of owners will walk, and PAPE can then BUY these units at panic price. PAPE currently owns 35% of inn@7th, and intends to BUY another 15%, in order to have 50% ownership. The 'little' owners say that the current tax-fee-bill demanded averaging $70k/unit will be PASSED back to PAPE as the form of a cash credit.

Imagine this for a moments HOA's aren't enough to FUCK BEND-CONDO owners, now ALL development owners of CONDO's can have the COUNTY assess a FEE.

Bend is ALL about fucking people, originally we said Bend was ONLY about selling CONDO's to Suckers from California. Now this is all turning out that BEND is really about FUCKING suckers that bought condos'.

Condo Owners Upset About Repair Costs

12/27/07 Bend

Condo owners at the Inn of 7th Mountain are upset about assessment fees they're being asked to pay. The fees range from $11,000 all the way up to $120,000 equalling $18 million for repairs. Owners say they don't have a proplem paying the fee for repairs, they just can't pay thousands of dollars at once. The Pape family of Eugene owns about 35 percent of the inn's residential and commercial units and they're being accused by some owners of putting their financial interests above the home owners. Danny Hollingshead of Pape Properties told the Oregonian the family is expecting only the credit it's due after paying for the earlier renovations. Condo owners are holding a meeting December 31st in hopes to oust the Pape family and it's loyalists from the board, but the Pape family is launching it's own attempt to buy more property to increase it's voting block.

This 900 unit low income apartment complex, will be on one largest such complexes built in the past ten years.

Brooks Resources is completely getting out of the single-family housing business, and entering muli-family low income housing, in order to secure Section-8 HUD Federal Housing Subsidy's.

Not a bad plan for survival, many of these projects provide federal cash in advance phases. Anything helps in the current times.

BUY A FUCKING CONDO IN BEND

Pay for your time-share, say $15,000.

Then pay $500/mo HOA's, whether you use 'your' unit or not.

Then pay another $50/night 'house-keeping' feed.

Then the development owner assesse's you a $30,000 maintenance fee every few years.

WHY IN THE HELL WOULD ANYONE BE SO FUCKING STUPID TO BUY A TIME-SHARE IN BEND, OREGON????

My personal GUESS is that ALL CONDO's in BEND were a GIANT-PONZI scheme, with NO new money coming to CONDO's, and NO new condo's to be BUILT, the ONLY game in TOWN is too FUCK the existing owners.

In time, the money grabbed can be used to 'fix' the condo's, and then dump them to some other new owner, who can then fuck the little-owners even MORE.

It's OVER, everyone now knows that CONDO is a BEND-OREGON scam, and you'll get fucked even being near one. Given that there is NO newbies to fuck, then only the old time low income white-trash folks that bought in the last 20 years can be fucked.

Given that BEND-OREGON is ONLY about fucking retirees out of their last 401K nickel, and given those nickels are running low. It's going to get a lot worse.

Expect to see large "Brooks Resources" Developments start fucking entire neighborhoods like Awbrey, expect to see everyone get a HUGE bill. This is what Broken-Top was recently about, trying to make the oweners of BT homes pay ten's of millions for a GOOF-COURSE they don't USE.

No new money coming to Bend, now you can ONLY fuck those you have trapped. All new development by Brooks Resources will be low-income housing, in order to house, all the broke fuckers that are left to clean toilets for Bend's Rich Tourists.

Predictions for 2008.

Mega developments like Awbrey Butte, of Brooks Resources will start fucking home owners.

HOA's will go astronomical. Brooks could have modified the home-owner charter in 2007 regarding the 'clothesline', but he didn't for fear that might open the pandora's box of change.

Soon all homer-owners will have to reside and re-roof whether they want to or not, and they must paint the houses.

Brooks Building, Painting, Siding, and Roofing will be the mandatory contractor, and the price will be pulled out of Brooks ass.

For many of these owners, the price of maintenance will exceed what they originally paid for the homes.

This is the FUCK of 2008. It's coming to ALL Brooks Resources developments, and there are 100's in the Bend area.
