Everyone needs to open up their front and backyards to pitching a tent for the houseless. Share, the kitchen, fridge, bath, den, office......leave the back door open for convenience, if you're lucky have your children tutored by a well meaning waif. Your home will become there's. Awwwwww!!

We have to do something, but the real problem is the left and just look at Seattle for example, the criminals and homeless criminals have all but taken over the city! This because the left is weak on criminals and hard on Americans! Lets vote the horrible Dems out and get America back!!!

So that trash doesn't build up it safe and keeps the community from freaking out. A place to put a trailer for homeless people with access to dumping and water and electricity. Some homeless need a place that is safe and worry free. Go out and talk to the the homeless and see what they need.

City of Bend is taking steps--albeit baby steps--but an old motel is being converted and 3 managed camps are in the works. Will help only 10 percent of our unhoused population, though.

We need a controlled area to help keep the trash down. There could be people in charge of directing disposal of unwanted items, trash and out and out garbage. Supply areas for hand washing, showers, and laundry.

If you can’t afford to live here, don’t intentionally come here. Before institutions were done away with, all of these people had everything they needed. Now they have no meds, no beds and no food while they are allowed to fill up our streets.

Never should have been allowed in the first place! Bend needs to develop a site with bathrooms, showers and rules,like NO drugs and NO trash. At least Redmond is trying to help these people. Take a. Lesson from them. Get off the dime and solve the problem

I say move the campers off forest land and onto main street if you want public funding for homelessness in Bend to become an immediate priority!!!

They have had excessive amount of time to move off land they are not even allowed to live on!

They have had ample time to move. Vegetation reduction helps slow and or stop wildfires that will eventually hit that area and destroy millions of dollars worth of homes and people's lives.

Living in SE Bend I really enjoyed going to China Hat with my Jeep to off road and walk with my dogs. The thought of being shot has kept me from doing that for a while now. Good riddance to the homeless and make it where they can't come back.

it is public land, NOT someones home! The public cannot use it without fear of saftey. We DONT need another human caused fire that happens EVERY year out there, we have enough to worry about with mother nature fires. Time to move on!

Being homeless is usually the result of bad choices. My taxes help pay for government land. Living there rent free and creating tons of garbage, being a true threat to causing wildfires, behaving in a lawless manner angers too many of us who manage to pay for real housing. Move them out now.

We all have problems in life why do they think it is ok to do what they are doing, when the rest of us pay our taxes, go to work, get counseling if we have problems. The amount they spend on drugs, they could pay rent. It’s a choice and their choice is to do drugs and not work. DEATH and TAXES!!!

This homeless problem is a choice. These people are drug addicts that need to get clean and go back to work. They should be put into rehab while being counseled for their personal problems. Once clean they should be put to work doing tasks that prisoners do. If they refuse, then jail them.

The Homeless Campers are the wrong people on the wrong landscape due to their lack of cognitive awareness of fire. I and many others are willing to share grace for their position in life when they are willing to improve their situation through counseling, accepting shelter to transition life.

They are humans and have no other options.We try not to let that happen to unwanted pets, yet have no problem in letting it happen to, what many consider, unwanted people!
