This made an error! I voted NO and it recorded yes! They shouldn't {and ALL} shouldn't be allowed on all public land because they do not follow rules! Dumping garbage, open flames during fire season, over extending time stay, etc. And now because of them our insurance is going up and land value goin
Reply ReplyThese people have had MONTHS of notice. Nobody ever told them it's acceptable to post up long-term there, so they shouldn't have planted their belongings out there if they have no way to move it. This sets a bad precedent if they're allowed to stay.
Reply ReplyI can no longer use this area of public land for fear of walking into a homeless camp or being attacked by their "pets". This land is for all of us to use, not just the homeless.
Reply ReplySafety should be the biggest concern here. If these people are homeless, they can travel to another area to reside. Forest service doesn't always implement preventative measures. So this being one of the times they do. Its important to make sure it happens. Before there is anymore devastating fires.
Reply ReplyTime to move these people to the Attorneys and Judges front lawns!!!
Reply ReplyHow is this their "home"? Have they paid property tax like the rest of us? How is this state even justifying this?!?!
Reply ReplyThey’ve had plenty of time to move. Why can the homeless trash/burn our beautiful forest? Tax paying citizens are only allowed to camp for 14 days! What about the homeowners rights near China Hat, they need to feel safe in their own community! This has gone on way too long and I’m surprised!
Reply ReplyIf you look at the Federal Regulations for camping on Federal land it states only 14 days. These people have over stated their welcome, they need to go and they have known about this for at least six months.
Reply ReplyIt is ironic the Bend Equity Group has filed a lawsuit to block the closure. Where is the indignation for the horrible environmental damage done by these campers who’ve violated the USFS long standing limit of a 14 day stay in a primitive camp site?
Reply ReplyThis has gone on too long. The forests near Woodside community and other neighborhoods need fire protection and protection from the homeless with guns and vicious dogs and the garbage left behind. The homeless have had plenty of notice.
Reply ReplyThis has been going on for way too long & it is ridiculous to postpone as they have known this needs to be done. The forest needs to be protected & these do gooders are too late to the game & so much time & money spent on homeless with ZERO results. We need DOGE. for Oregon!
Reply ReplyWe live near China Hat and the fear of fire and crime is constant. Plus the forest is being destroyed by illegal cutting of trees, garbage and toxins
Reply ReplyI live near China Hat and used to love going out the with my dog. Once weapons started be pulled on people that stopped. I want my forest back. Good riddance to the whole lot. Don't ever come back.

The apartments I live in have even had some people camp on the grass right outside our doors. Interesting that there wasn’t a designated area for them to move into before kicking them all out into the whole community. Now instead of them feeling safe they are constantly moving around.

ReplyWhen I started seeing all these encampments pop up along hwy 97. Is this what Bend wants?? I am disgusted how much we have to pay for a clean up that should have diverted in the first place. Not to mention the drug lord among those on Hunnell. It Infuriates me to see where my tax dollars go.
ReplyWell now there headed for China Hat the county needs to block it off Keep them out These people are not wanted they don't pay taxes but want everything for free Rough is enough
ReplyPrageru has several videos about homelessness that everything should watch
ReplyDuh! Where do you think they would go? I still say buying them a bus ticket to Portland (where they're welcome) is a lot cheaper than continuing to have to clean up their mess at the taxpayers expense.
ReplyYes and they should be cleaned up too!!
Replythey need a place to go ? how about to work...o wait drugs and social security card.. and ID...they need them for I9s...ship them all to alcatraz...that would solve that problem
