Let's try again as this clearly doesn't work. People are putting the drug in drinks to cause additional addiction or a new addiction which people are benefitting from. So much more.
I thought it was a bad idea to begin with. The people on drugs don't care now what's a hundred dollars (they probably won't pay anyway). Now they will just use the system and my tax dollars for ????
Yes it is a blight upon decent society, it is enabling bad behavior. Just look at downtown Portland nowadays it has become a Cesspool of Depravtion. Penalties should be higher not lower, the lefts failed tactics are in defiance of truth and reality.
Repealed not just changed. Wasn't this passed just by most of the people the other side of the Cascades? If this was just on counties ballots, no way it would have passed in Central OR. If people are not held accountable for their actions, crime and homeless are what you get.
Sorry to inform you Kimmie but Bend is Mini Portland already. A lot of the Portlanders moved to bend to get away from what THEY ruined and are now using there Marxist ideas here.
Local leaders? You're not a leader if you wait until the villagers show up with their torches. It needs to be repealed, not "changed". It's the local "leaders" who need to be "changed".
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
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!
Repeal the whole measure! It just created Oregon a drug state.
ReplyWe have seen the waste of lives due to drug addiction and broken relationships.

ReplyAbolish it!

ReplyRepeal it! Any primate with half a brain can see the results of such a failure. Just look at Pland!
