the homeless should be picking up the highway trash in exchange for vouchers for all the benefits they get like shelters,food,showers etc. no vouchers no freebies. I work every day for my vouchers, its called money. I don't work i get no money I get no food, shelter etc. Save tax $$.

Put people to work cleaning up the roadways. Even the stretches of highway that are "adopted" don't get the attention they need.

The trash I have noticed seems to be remnants of homeless encampments.

Made a trip to Redmond this past weekend and was shocked at the amount of garbage on the roadside. What happened to prisoners helping clean it up?

Do you think safe parking spots are a good way to combat the homelessness?

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.

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"...?

People should not have to put up with annoying intrusive lights that inconsiderate neighbors install
