Peaceful protesting does lead to change. If a lot of people gather and voice their opinion government officials will hear them.

Takes time, but yes, it matters eventually.

One only has to look back at the Civil Rights Movement and Voting Rights Act, et al, to know that they do.

Our current so called protest are actually just out of control violence being perpetrated agianst small business, innocent people and our police officers who are trying to protect us.

Larry Ewart

I have never felt wronged enough to protest. To do so violently just tells me you are of poor character and have been spoiled so as to get your way

Jacqueline Loyd

This is America. Can we cross borders into other countries with no passport. Bend protesters need to read up on our rights, then stay home. Your the problem not those who are protecting all Americans.

Mark

Some demonstrations do lead to change... These? Not a chance. If they did lead to change, based on the platform of the protesters, the US would have no police, open boarders, and crimes run rampant

Michael Miller

Darn few advocate for any of that.

Nancy

Some of these people are paid to protest and when it turns violet the police can't even tell who they are due to mask restrictions. Portland is a perfect example of how our Governor has failed us!

Michael Miller

If you know protestors are paid, then you must be paying them. Where do these crazy ideas come from, anyway?

Parking and city revenue out weigh the small gain in revenue the business say they receive.

Gary Dehm

Simply, they're unfair to other businesses. Each space represents potential income for one or multiple businesses. If parklettes are to remain, businesses should file an application per space with an associated annual fee, subject to increase rent cost/year. They cause more problems than they solve.

Pat Glandon

I don't shop downtown or eat due to lack of parking.

Ka San

Since nobody sits outside in the cold of winter, why not remove all the outdoor eating areas at least in the winter??

Jay B Lane

Nobody is sitting outside in the winter months and Street dining should be limited May - October months. Also what is not needed is 4 season dining in these structures (walls. Heaters, etc) when restaurants have room inside. If eateries don't have room inside, shouldn't be taking public space

A few circles around the area, I always find a spot. It’s not any different than any other city. I like seeing people enjoying the outdoors. That’s why we live here.
