Success so far in Bend with Veterans Village, Lighthouse, safe parking program, St. Vincent dePaul. More expected with Central Oregon Villages 27th St. facility and Rainbow Motel. Still more needs to be done, of course. But that's a promising start. This is a national humanitarian crisis.

I see the movement of groups and the numbers are manageable. Things can be improved by having no tolerance for illegal drug abuse. The young drug addicted should be put into forced programs to recover. Mentally ill need to be institutionalized if they cannot care for themselves. Economic get help

Sadly, republicans won't put one cent towards social programs. The GOP loves to control their masses by keeping them uneducated and poor.

Guess I'm not the only one who answers NO, 97% does! Did you get that Bend city council? YOU and your buddies in Salem are ENABLING HOMELESSNESS and making Bend the Premier Homeless & Fentanyl Resort in the country.

Steven Huillet

Too many soft hearted liberals in charge.

RL Nellis

It's getting worse.

Bob Majka

Hell no, liberals are the great enablers..

Matt Stickler

California and many other states offer nothing. So the more Oregon offers them, the more of these out of state homeless will be drawn here.

Oppivy7

more homeless people seem to be a symptom of a larger problem

Tracy Evans

Have you seen Hunnell Road?

Paul Bianchina

Mary Rose Place is the latest Bend Street being taken over by the homeless, with more derelict RVs and mounting garbage. How many more streets will the City donate to the homeless? Progress? The exact opposite!!!!

Mark Mueller

If you build it they will come! Seems like Bend is trying to become the Portland of Central Oregon.

Patrick Mcgowan

110, ruined this state what a joke.

Kimmy Wasatch

Throwing good money after bad will not solve the problem. Until drugs are a criminal offence, people are held accountable and free services are stopped, problem will just become worse.

Latterdaysaint

Notice only red cities don't have problems

Oppivy7

Did you know that there are more empty, perfectly good, houses in this country than there are homeless people?

That is absolutely untrue. And as a man of God and Jesus, instead of acting holier than thou, get off your butt and do something to help them.

Charlie Kirk was a man of faith and gave his very life for the values I stand for. He was a voice heard around the world

Pat Nelson Wilson

He doesn’t deserve it. He is a nobody and spewed hateful rhetoric.

Janice Adair

He was a racist, white supremacist, and very divisive figure. The political violence that ended his lift is a terrible thing but it’s something he helped foment. This is the most ridiculous idea I can imagine.

Lisa Alexander

He was a racist person who spread hate.

Jane CommunityMember

I never heard of this guy before he was murdered, but it looks like he had a track record of saying awful things, and fomented the conditions in society that led to his demise. That's very tragic, but there are other people more deserving of a day.

k san

Absolutely NOT!! He was a racist extraordinaire and spread divisive speech and ideas.

Byron Barclay

Because his MO is actually deceptive & decisive!

Martie King

He is not a hero.

Linda Spaet

Though this is a tragic incident and a terrible time of violence in our country, Mr. Kirk was not an elected official. We should honor his family and respect them in many ways and I certainly have sympathy for his family. But this does not warrant aday in Oregon devoted to his name or his politics.

Robert Spaet

A highly partisan figure in American politics should never be given a day of observance for any reason. It should be acknowledge that violence is not acceptable in any form for any reason, but it should not be honored and given Publicity because of it.

Alex GERRITY

He was not a government figure, and while I don’t condone the violence that took his life, he called on his supporters to bail out others that committed violence against elected government officials.

Laurie Maholland

Mr. Kirk was too controversial and not a hero.

celeste carico

This guy was homophobic, racist, and anti women’s rights. While I think his murder is wrong, he is not a hero. He encouraged hatred towards people he didn’t agree with their lifestyles in his “teachings”. I don’t think Jesus would support him…he preached love for everyone!

Gerald Wonnacott

We didn't create a Melissa Hortmann day and she was a good person. Charlie Kirk's rhetoric was about racism, sexism, mysoginism, and divisiveness. He was not a good person and represented everything that was NOT Christian.

Jim Terry

Need I really explain

Priscilla Smith

Absolutely not!

Shannon Gamble

Sure! Let's give kudos to the shooter! NOT! What about the 5 officers who just got shot in Pennsylvania? Should we have a day for that too?? Absolutely NOT necessary.
