No they do not. I have proof but the last time I posted it here, it was removed. And not because it went against the rules here.

This made an error! I voted NO and it recorded yes! They shouldn't {and ALL} shouldn't be allowed on all public land because they do not follow rules! Dumping garbage, open flames during fire season, over extending time stay, etc. And now because of them our insurance is going up and land value goin

These people have had MONTHS of notice. Nobody ever told them it's acceptable to post up long-term there, so they shouldn't have planted their belongings out there if they have no way to move it. This sets a bad precedent if they're allowed to stay.

I can no longer use this area of public land for fear of walking into a homeless camp or being attacked by their "pets". This land is for all of us to use, not just the homeless.

Safety should be the biggest concern here. If these people are homeless, they can travel to another area to reside. Forest service doesn't always implement preventative measures. So this being one of the times they do. Its important to make sure it happens. Before there is anymore devastating fires.

How is this their "home"? Have they paid property tax like the rest of us? How is this state even justifying this?!?!

They’ve had plenty of time to move. Why can the homeless trash/burn our beautiful forest? Tax paying citizens are only allowed to camp for 14 days! What about the homeowners rights near China Hat, they need to feel safe in their own community! This has gone on way too long and I’m surprised!

If you look at the Federal Regulations for camping on Federal land it states only 14 days. These people have over stated their welcome, they need to go and they have known about this for at least six months.

It is ironic the Bend Equity Group has filed a lawsuit to block the closure. Where is the indignation for the horrible environmental damage done by these campers who’ve violated the USFS long standing limit of a 14 day stay in a primitive camp site?

This has gone on too long. The forests near Woodside community and other neighborhoods need fire protection and protection from the homeless with guns and vicious dogs and the garbage left behind. The homeless have had plenty of notice.

This has been going on for way too long & it is ridiculous to postpone as they have known this needs to be done. The forest needs to be protected & these do gooders are too late to the game & so much time & money spent on homeless with ZERO results. We need DOGE. for Oregon!

We live near China Hat and the fear of fire and crime is constant. Plus the forest is being destroyed by illegal cutting of trees, garbage and toxins

I live near China Hat and used to love going out the with my dog. Once weapons started be pulled on people that stopped. I want my forest back. Good riddance to the whole lot. Don't ever come back.

I was in naval aviation from 1966 to 1970 I spent time flying Vietnam. During that time, when you got out you avoided the subject It was not popular. The first time I ever got thanked for my service was 2012 and I didn't know how to react. I'm OK with that. I still don't know how to react.
ReplyWalking in the parade today with the Marine Corps League/Toys for Tots you hear SO many (Thank you for your service, Happy Veterans day etc!)
ReplyWhy would so many believe that they don't? If you want, make every day Veterans Day and volunteer for their benefit. The benefits that come with serving for the military are excellent, for life.
ReplyI agree with snowzone. I spent 1970 in Vietnam and 1971 in Germany, Army Aviation, helicopters. It wasn't advisable to bring up your service to our country in the 70's and 80's. That started to change after 9-11 and desert storm. Today I am thanked often.The first time brought tears to my eyes.
ReplyThank you for your service veterans
