The out of state visitors have brought the pandemic to our doorstep and is causing our community grief, so asking them nicely to leave is not unacceptable.

I understand this is an area where "out if towners" come to work and enjoy the beauty of Central Oregon, but we are trying to slow the spread of a deadly virus. Please stay home, if at all possible.

Heck ya they need to leave!! Especially during a pandemic and especially if they are from a hotspot area (Cali, Texas) it is common courtesy

It's really a shame that we've gotten here, but I do strongly believe that if we put travel restrictions into place here in Bend, we can curb the spread of Coronavirus similar to NYC.

I agree 100% with you we need to put a boundary completely around our state & do not let anybody else in. There's getting too many people infected so far in Central Oregon. We need to stop it now!

It's not just a handful of people visiting. It's thousands of mostly inconsiderate Californians vacationing here, resulting in rising cases and harsher restrictions placed on those that live here.

Freedom of speech, baby. It is ok to graffiti walls, throw rocks, and push and shove in the name of free speech, so why not a quiet, peaceful note.

I understand that Bend is a tourist town, it's a fact of life, I've grown up in this town; right now however is not the time to travel or to visit places out of state unfortunately.

It's absolutely ridiculous how many people from different states are here in Bend Oregon. I get it, this is a beautiful place to visit. But now is not the time. I agree 100% with this guy's notes

That’s totally rude and unnecessary. There’s plenty of reasons why people need to travel or want to. That’s their right as long as they follow safety practices.

Some people are traveling medical workers. Others are essential workers. Some live here, but haven't changed plates yet. Don't assume they are just vacationing.

Why do it, when the people who own the car won't heed the demand anyway. It won't result in the intended end, so why be rude and antisocial for nothing?

These individuals have no right to speak for the city or it's citizens. The city issued a statement about tourism. If you wish to speak for yourself, sign the note with some contact info.

I’m local with CA plates & commute to work for over 9 yrs. Had a bicyclist yell go home while in my own neighborhood - I put a note on my car stating I’m local not on vacation!

It all depends on the situation. They might be here on business which needs to be attended. There might not be enough time to wait for the progression to stop

It's just plain rude and most of these people probably do actually live in Bend. What are visiting people going to do out of town during a pandemic when nothing is open? Not much!

My friend just moved to Bend and hasn't been able to register his car in Oregon because the DMVs were closed. I think it's rude to leave a note like this not knowing the specific situation.

I don’t want visitors here right now. I even told my own family to stay home for now- but the notes are a bit passive aggressive. It seems like they’re more likely to be divisive than helpful.

Never should have been allowed in the first place! Bend needs to develop a site with bathrooms, showers and rules,like NO drugs and NO trash. At least Redmond is trying to help these people. Take a. Lesson from them. Get off the dime and solve the problem

I say move the campers off forest land and onto main street if you want public funding for homelessness in Bend to become an immediate priority!!!

They have had excessive amount of time to move off land they are not even allowed to live on!

They have had ample time to move. Vegetation reduction helps slow and or stop wildfires that will eventually hit that area and destroy millions of dollars worth of homes and people's lives.

Living in SE Bend I really enjoyed going to China Hat with my Jeep to off road and walk with my dogs. The thought of being shot has kept me from doing that for a while now. Good riddance to the homeless and make it where they can't come back.

it is public land, NOT someones home! The public cannot use it without fear of saftey. We DONT need another human caused fire that happens EVERY year out there, we have enough to worry about with mother nature fires. Time to move on!

Being homeless is usually the result of bad choices. My taxes help pay for government land. Living there rent free and creating tons of garbage, being a true threat to causing wildfires, behaving in a lawless manner angers too many of us who manage to pay for real housing. Move them out now.

We all have problems in life why do they think it is ok to do what they are doing, when the rest of us pay our taxes, go to work, get counseling if we have problems. The amount they spend on drugs, they could pay rent. It’s a choice and their choice is to do drugs and not work. DEATH and TAXES!!!

This homeless problem is a choice. These people are drug addicts that need to get clean and go back to work. They should be put into rehab while being counseled for their personal problems. Once clean they should be put to work doing tasks that prisoners do. If they refuse, then jail them.

The Homeless Campers are the wrong people on the wrong landscape due to their lack of cognitive awareness of fire. I and many others are willing to share grace for their position in life when they are willing to improve their situation through counseling, accepting shelter to transition life.

They are humans and have no other options.We try not to let that happen to unwanted pets, yet have no problem in letting it happen to, what many consider, unwanted people!
