I think the city does to much for homeless that never lived in Bend or anywhere in Oregon some are here for the free ride provided by the city of bend at taxpayers expensive We need a new city council

In my opinion, the city of Bend waited too long to take action in regard to the huge homeless situation. Hunnell Rd. is a perfect example. As soon as broken down motorhomes and trash showed up it should have been dealt with. It's so out of control it will be almost impossible to properly address.

Create and distribute a flyer that lists other cities where the handouts are better then here (if there are any). Or at least locations that have the same great level of services but have better weather. Those who want help will stay, many of those who prefer this life style will move on.

No reasonable long term solutions...only an endless game of Wack-a-Mole chasing the homeless from one location to another. The homeless are being treated like a bunch of lepers that residents with housing hope will go away. Good luck with that.....more homeless are coming with the good weather.

Maybe by making it more enjoyable. Being homeless use to be a hardship now it's like a permeant vacation where someone else pays.

Actually no city in OR is doing enough to address this, their solution is just to throw good money after bad. Try bring back accountablity, recrimilize drugs , respect law enforcement, etc

We should all be in favor of anything that creates a safer community for all of us, regardless of political affiliation. Since our federal funds have been decreased, we need another form of revenue to supplement our fire fighting revenue.

Do you not value trees and animals? Do you understand how precious the forest is for all of us? This is not a partisan issue. It's a matter of how we value life of all kinds, animal and humans alike. Please think about your words before speaking.

The federal budget deficit would be EASILY diminished if the Rs in Congress would vote to make the tax system fairer by making the top richest pay their fair share. But they won't. They'd rather take from the poor+ middle class and sale public lands vs. doing the obvious and fairest remedy!!

It is a shameful idea. These lands belong to all of us, and are not for sale.

Hey, If Mike Lee wants to sell Utah's public lands, see how his constituents like it with theirs. Stay away from Oregon and the other states who don't like it. If Trump wants his big ugly bill to pass, reimburse the government for what the taxpayers pay for his golfing at his resorts + his parade.

This would be a crime and one that is irreversible. If Trump needed the money so bad, maybe he shouldn’t have spent our hard-earned tax money on his birthday parade. I am a public land owner and I oppose this proposition. How dare Mike Lee try pulling off this crap on us. We’re not stupid.

Public lands are our heritage due to the foresight of great individuals. Only those interested in profiteering propose and support the rape of Oregon and public properties.
