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.

When 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.

Duh! 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.

Do you think safe parking spots are a good way to combat the homelessness?

Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?

People should not have to put up with annoying intrusive lights that inconsiderate neighbors install
