More freebies won't solve the problem, just create more recipients! It is becoming more apparent that the city council wants Bend to be more like Portland.

If you give homeless people free stuff, more will come. Where is the personal responsibility to work, save and buy your own home or pay rent some place. You are rewarding drug use. Stop it and enforce the law and homelessness will drop.

You cannot force transients to get help. Our worthless city council and mayor have destroyed our city by allowing transients to terrorize the community with crime, fires, robbery, rape, drug use and destruction of property. They will not use places with rules and restrictions. Wake up Bend!

Thorwing more money and free services will not solve the problem.

That's not solving the underlying issue of homelessness witch is mental health and drug use

Homelessness is becoming an industry. Once we get thousands of people dependent on jobs there will be no going back.

More people are in the homeless business than are truly homeless. Help families and the working poor that can truly benefit.

They seem to receive more opportunities then I do. I have worked all my life since I was 12, and for them to get free housing and free $1000.00 a month, that's more then I make. I think this bill failed, but it was in the works.

Only if they have a 40 hour job and are willing to pay some rent or have social security and pay some rent. Handouts don't help people, they enable them.
