Of course, this doesn't solve everything, but it's a good step. It is not going to cause an influx of homeless from CA. They are getting services in CA. No one wants to come to Bend and freeze in the winter with the hope of a shelter.

You can't keep giving to people without making them responsible. Everyone should have drug tests. Everyone should have to "give back" in some way. Either by getting a job, or volunteering to the community.

I pay enough in taxes, most of the homeless want to be homeless, they get paid for doing nothing.

Only solves a portion of the real issue of mental health and alcohol and drug issues. Plus there is the concern that an influx of more homeless flooding up from the California, to get free services they are not getting there.

you must fix policy, not throw money at it. When you decriminalize hard drugs and sleeping on streets and let hard criminals out of jail it all adds up.

Oregon keeps throwing good money after bad, will not help. Recriminalize drugs , fund and respect police and how about having the homeless work..keep their camps clean, parks, other civic projects, require recurring drug tests.

Throwing good money after bad. Bring back crimalization of drugs, fund and respect for police, have the homeless work even if just cleaning their own camps, parks, etc, drug tests on a regular basis.

ODOT, and other state agencies need to live within a reasonable budget and the state needs to stop raising taxes!

ODOT Leadership is totally incompetent! They spend a billion dollars they don’t have and come to the taxpayers to bail them out. As far as increasing gas tax and registration fees we already pay.40 cents per gallon and our gas prices are $2 per gallon more than the rest of the country. No more mone!

Do you think a managed homeless camp will help alleviate issues from nearby "unmanaged camps"?

We need a 'No Camp Zone ' radius around urban and sub urban areas and then have a few managed campsites within the new limit. Only 2 options. The risk to property owners and the option to live on the fringe is not right. Not a problem before 2020 and it's over time to get back to before.

Anotrher example of throwing good money after bad. The more freebies, the more homeless.
