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 β€œhomeless” need to be screened so that the people that want and need help will get it. The people that β€œchoose” 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 they’re wanting to put in neighborhood there. This is a problem they’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?

Even a friendly dog with excellent recall can cause real problems for the owner walking their reactive dog on leash; a dog running free is highly exciting to other dogs; it's not fair for the owner of the reactive dog to have to deal with that overstimulation in a "leash only" area.

I recently I commented that it is not fair. But your comment makes me feel incorrect. I have had a reactive dog before and I feel that your comment is valid.

There are laws and rules for a reason. No one should think that laws and rules don't apply to them. If they want their dog off leash then go out in the woods where no one else is or to a fenced dog park.

BECAUSE most dog owners that do this have zero respect for others or property.. NEVER pick up poop and feel entitled

There are leash laws for good reason. On a side note Bend Parks and Recreation need to put up signs at dog parks reminding owners that they are liable for damages their dogs cause to other dogs or humans under Oregon law. Bend PD treat dog parks like they are outside of their jurisdiction.

A bad dog owner is someone who is not able to care of the animal or mistreats the animal. The person is just not considerate of others and will break the law for whatever reason they may have. *if you have an aggressive dog it is the OWNERS responsibility to keep the dog under control anywhere

There are many factors, if your dog has great recall and obeys to stay in a heal being off leash is fine as the dog is still in verbal control. Dogs that do not listen should not be off leash.

Maybe there pet is trusted and not reactive. Why does a none relative happy pet need to be restricted?
