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.

It represents the heart of Sisters that has always been a western town with logging , cows and horses . we also have one of the most popular rodeos on the west coast Sisters Rodeo !

It’s befitting of our culture, our way of life. The Sisters Rodeo has made this town prosper..There is no “danger” putting this on the round about, that’s a silly reason to not want it there.

I live in Bend where we have many roundabouts, where we have various artwork, and I've not seen a situation where I feel drivers were distracted, even in our high traffic roundabouts. In my opinion that's a red herring. I think the statue would be an asset to Sisters promoting its history.

It’s a significant piece of History. Prineville has a statue and it IS STILL STANDING!

There is no danger of a staute in the middle of the roundabout!

Would you consider using an electric mower instead of a gas powered one?
