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.

ReplyBend is completely safe to me but then again I would not be out and about when all the tweekers and barflys are at all times of the night and early morning hours. Just common sense!
ReplyI feel extremely safe in dntn Bend. 2 Chris C-LONG gone are the days one could leave anything ANYWHERE unlocked, not just Bend. Go back to 1970 if you want 2 leave cars, doors unlocked. common sense.
ReplyIf you have a problem with downtown Bend you should NEVER go to ANY city as you would just piss your self.
