We travel to Arizona several times a year and it's RIDICULOUS it wasn't offered the last year or 2!! Portland just finished the new terminal when all of a sudden Redmond -- Alaska stopped going to Portland. WE HAD TO GO TO SEATTLE TO GO SOUTH --IT WILL be wonderful to have
& KEEP IT YEAR ROUND!!
Many people need to access OHSU for advanced medical treatments not available in Bend. Driving to Portland is not always an option especially in the winter months. Being able to fly into PDX is safer and far less stressful for those needing care at OHSU.
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!

ReplyI'd rather change planes (and even airlines) in Portland, than most of the standard layover points and arrival times.

ReplyWork requires me to be there but for only a day at a time, on and off during the winter. It's an easy choice when I can simply expense it.
