Too many people, too many cars. Four people meet up for lunch and each on drives a vehicle. Bike, scooter, carpool.

We are not very technically blessed, and as s result CANNOT get parking app to work. All it did was charge us for a space we did not use. End result, we NO LONGER go to Bend for ANY event !!!

So much money has been wasted regarding unsuccessful, trendy, parking technology in Downtown Bend. I do not anticipate this latest idea to be any better.

With too many people and not enough parking spaces, I can tell you the only solution. Another parking garage. Bend loves to waste money. You don't need to spend a million dollars of technology to tell you that. Stop Bend, Stop.

Safety should be the biggest concern here. If these people are homeless, they can travel to another area to reside. Forest service doesn't always implement preventative measures. So this being one of the times they do. Its important to make sure it happens. Before there is anymore devastating fires.

The China Hat area has been badly damaged and disrespected by campers.

How is this their "home"? Have they paid property tax like the rest of us? How is this state even justifying this?!?!

They’ve had plenty of time to move. Why can the homeless trash/burn our beautiful forest? Tax paying citizens are only allowed to camp for 14 days! What about the homeowners rights near China Hat, they need to feel safe in their own community! This has gone on way too long and I’m surprised!

If you look at the Federal Regulations for camping on Federal land it states only 14 days. These people have over stated their welcome, they need to go and they have known about this for at least six months.

It is ironic the Bend Equity Group has filed a lawsuit to block the closure. Where is the indignation for the horrible environmental damage done by these campers who’ve violated the USFS long standing limit of a 14 day stay in a primitive camp site?

This has gone on too long. The forests near Woodside community and other neighborhoods need fire protection and protection from the homeless with guns and vicious dogs and the garbage left behind. The homeless have had plenty of notice.

the USFS has been planning this burn since Oct 2019... more than enough time for the homeless/advocacy groups to come up with a plan to move...

This has been going on for way too long & it is ridiculous to postpone as they have known this needs to be done. The forest needs to be protected & these do gooders are too late to the game & so much time & money spent on homeless with ZERO results. We need DOGE. for Oregon!

He should be FIRED immediately as he is the individual in charge of the entire department. He must set the standard of honesty and integrity for both staff and the Public. What type of leader is this? Why is this even being questioned? He faced charges in La Mesa, California as well!

Why is he still in this position, come on Deschutes Co. This is pathetic.

How can he be trusted to be truthful in anything if he lied about even just this one thing? A man in his position shouldn't be lying about anything at all and the fact that he did makes him untrustworthy 100%.

If he can't be honest about such a basic thing as his education, he can't be trusted with Deschutes County's safety! What else has he lied about? He should resign!

Just more Liberal attacks on Conservative. This is what they do because they lost the elections. Poor losers!
