My name is John Heylin, and I’m running for Deschutes County Commission, Position #1. It is time to have leadership that listens to all of Deschutes County and actively addresses the problems we face. We need a Commission that leads with action, not excuses. www.voteheylin.com

Doing stuff helps. I was feeling pretty down this morning and went to a hearing where I was prepared to speak in favor of some 'safe parking' spots here in Bend. They were approved! Find some things to do where you can do a little bit each day. For me that's @bendyimby.bsky.social

Progressives feeling powerless: focus your attention locally. There is so much we can do to improve our communities if we show up and advocate for effective, equitable local governance.

When it comes to taking serious action to address our housing crisis, Bend is leading the way. Partially because we had a head start feeling the pain, but mostly it's because our City and our elected officials are laser focused on doing everything we can to solve the problem.

When I was in my 20s, a government shutdown forced me out of a government-funded trade program and I had days to find work and housing. That shutdown precipitated the worst 5 years of my life. Fuck brinkmanship.

This is a good example of how reducing housing costs is not always straightforward. Time is money, so getting a permit through faster for an increased fee can actually reduce development costs.

*NO* city is doing anything to address this? Surely my city, Bend, OR, is different? But officially it may be correct.. The recent Bend Metropolitan Transportation Plan paints a bleak picture: not only are we expecting 50% more people in 20 yrs, but per capita driving is predicted to *increase*. 🧵

A table titled Table 4-5: Existing and Future System Performance shows transportation figures. VMT (vehicle miles traveled) are increasing by 2045 and are circled in red.
