Most of our top officials are basing their decisions on incorrect and skewed data. Enforcement officers on the street know the truth because they are staring at it daily. Yet their input is ignored because it's not "science". Thus city, county, and state managers do not understand the severity.

sandra zollman

Apparently not. And now it looks like they have made plans behind our backs to create 15 minute cities in Bend under a new name. To many decisions are being decided by councilors without the say or vote of the people. We need whole new leadership in Bend.

Not even exactly sure what the city is doing to address drugs issues, It sure isn't helping. Between the drug issues and homelessnes...ie, China Hat, sorry to say Bend is becoming more like Portland every day. Perhaps more public input and voting would help.

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.

Duane Wyman

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"...?
