Make people responsible for their actions. Why do parks have signs warning us not to feed animals. Same with humans. Are they receiving aid so they can live off the public? Will we be like SF and let them steal up to $1000 without penalty.

The problem is not going to go away and most likely only get worse, so viable solutions is what we must do to keep Bend beautiful for us all including those less fortunate.

Solutions are NOT wild camping or tent camps in the city, managed or not but treatment centers for drug and mental issues!!!

The โ€œhomelessโ€ need to be screened so that the people that want and need help will get it. The people that โ€œchooseโ€ to be homeless as a way of life and the evil doers need to leave town.

Psychiatric counseling, drug counseling and employment counseling. God helps those who help themselves. If they will help themselves, we are all there for them.

Believe both city and county commissioners have made it too easy for homeless to settle here. They need to take the city owned land in Juniper Ridge area and build the camps theyโ€™re wanting to put in neighborhood there. This is a problem theyโ€™ve created so let them use their land to fix it.

Need to put some focus on root cause.130 person increase over last year with all the covid money and eviction moritoriums. What will the increase be when those programs are history?

We need to follow the Utah model. Such camps, whether "managed" or not, should never be put near established neighborhoods or schools. They drag down property values and create danger for school kids. There is plenty of land in CO in which to place these camps where they won't infringe on anyone.

Would a conservative state government be the solution?

Ask this question in conversation!.......Why is it that having a slovenly-slipshod-dirty lifestyle reflection a prerequisite for most all homeless and their camps?

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 shouldnโ€™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. Weโ€™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.
