It's intrusive and distracting. Free speech, yes. But you can't scream "fire" in a theater when there is none and call it "free speech". The county should also consider banning vehicles flying 60 square foot flags with the F word and other flags that are a greater safety hazard than lawn signs.

Kevin Crabtree

Hmm never seen a sign saying fire A lot of stuff offends me too but I just am smart enough to ignore it.

Eric Chandler

It was stated last year to take them because they can be an extraction but nothing was done about!

barb gahr

Clutter and distracting.

sandra zollman

So are yard sales signs but no one complains about them. It doesn't last that long. Good grief, barking dogs are much more annoying.

Kat Johnson

The signs are very distracting which creates a safety hazard.

Rick Allen

Distracted driving and can also cause anger driving.

Glenda McCarn

Makes it hard to see when driving by them.

Gabe West

Why do watch KTVZ if you so dislike it? Watch Central Oregon News. It's much more liberal.

Rick Allen

That is a very bad thing, not good!!!

Having a sign on my property is a constitutionally protected activity freedom of speech. If my son hurts your feelings that's your problem Karen!

Ed Neumann

Not so. Can you scream "Fire" in a theater and call that free speech? Nonsense

The poll question is about having signs on right-of-way, it's highly unlikely your yard is considered right-of-way, Karen.

Ed Neumann

Karen - your yard is not a public right of way.

You don't know what a right of way is 😂

Kevin Crabtree

Hmmm My Property has actually 2 right of ways on it I still own it pay taxes on it for now but the City has already told me not to use it. I don't think this is what the poll is about but leave the guy alone you big bad Internet Bullies.

Safe parking programs have a proven track record of successfully taking people from being homeless into having a place of their own. Safe parking programs cut down on costs to cities for ambulance calls, police calls, visits to emergency rooms and mental health crises that costs taxpayers money.

Duane Wyman

Perhaps? Hiding the un-housed in various random locations doesn't solve much. This is just another band-aid solution! Seems just the latest adaptation of "kicking the can down the road"...?
