Many times. Had no insurance. St. Charles is one of the most expensive hospitals in the nations

There are specialists that do not exist in CO and other specialists that have much higher volumes than CO therefore likely to produce a better outcome. Primary care is different matter.

VA always wants to send you to Portland for further treatment or testing.

Couldn't find progressive Cancer Care here in Central Oregon. Traveled to Portland for more appropriate and qualified providers, saving my life and not undergoing a horrific disfiguring outcome here

We have limited access to pediatric specialists in Central Oregon. One of my children lives with multiple AI disorders that have required care unavailable locally.

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

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.

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

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

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.

NO, with all the info out there about scams, it is inexcusable for anyone savvy to be taken in by such. However, seniors are particularly vulnerable, and family should assist them in avoiding scams. I had to take away my mother's phone when she entered assisted living and later memory care.
