But only if it was fully enforced.

Yes , I believe if you make it inconvenient for homeless people to set up camp , they will move on to another city. I do support homeless situations , if they take responsibility by checking into drug free shelters.

Most of what I hear on the news is about the homeless people, not much is reported on the infringement, the stress, nuisance, violence, drug use, filth and garbage that the decent law abiding, tax paying citizens are forced to endure! They need to stop enabling bad behavior! The focus seems wrong!

Exactly! The ban would work if aggressively enforced otherwise the result will be another Hunnell Rd, Juniper Ridge, China Hat, etc, etc.. With over 1500 calls to Bend PD for Hunnell Rd, how can this be called humane? The USFS should enact the same ban against free extended camping.

A camping ban may reduce the homeless tourism numbers or their length of stay, but the remaining homeless will simply become more emboldened about violating existing restrictions.

So you have to move every 24 hours, that's not a actual camping ban! How about provide them jobs like picking up trash, farning

I do not want meth heads working. They are dangerous enough already. And the ones that aren't junkies have ample opportunities for jobs and shelter, they choose not to.

Is someone who lets their pet off-leash in restricted areas considered a 'bad pet owner?'

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.

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?

BV is not a good quality restaurant for the cost. Have never liked them and always like Del Taco.
