Electric vehicles have massive batteries which can not be easily disposed of, and are toxic to the environment. Electric buses are very expensive. And cannot be driven very far, especially driving to valley schools for sports events.

Because the Democrats have no plans to increase electrical infrastructure to accommodate increased demand while under false pretense (no such thing as global warming) eliminating abundant and reliable fossil fuel.

Cold weather can create problems, replacing batteries is very expensive and where do the old ones go...into landfiles. Humans probably contribute to enviromental problems but are not the main cause and nothing we do will stop climate change, the earth will do what it has been doing since time began.

EV batteries are NOT good for our environment not to mention the poor children digging for the minerals just so the green idiots can brag how well the USA is doing in the name of climate change rhetoric. If those were our children we would all be up on child abuse charges facing years in prison.

Don't listen to CB. An increasing number of scientists that agreed that climate change is a result of human activity are rethinking their position. Stating that CO2 may not be the cause of climate change. Science is not fact, science it theory. And Scientific theories have been debunked in the past

Just when I think you can't get any more ridiculous, you come out with the nonsense. Even your own church acknowledges climate change, A SCIENTIFIC FACT.

No, for a variety of reasons, we should not go the route of electric vehicles.

Its a super expensive way to virtue signal. Not to mention all the other failures of the creation of EV batteries, slave labor, all while using natural fuels to create the electricity.

This made an error! I voted NO and it recorded yes! They shouldn't {and ALL} shouldn't be allowed on all public land because they do not follow rules! Dumping garbage, open flames during fire season, over extending time stay, etc. And now because of them our insurance is going up and land value goin

The homeless are not residents, they are squatters!

These people have had MONTHS of notice. Nobody ever told them it's acceptable to post up long-term there, so they shouldn't have planted their belongings out there if they have no way to move it. This sets a bad precedent if they're allowed to stay.

I can no longer use this area of public land for fear of walking into a homeless camp or being attacked by their "pets". This land is for all of us to use, not just the homeless.

Safety should be the biggest concern here. If these people are homeless, they can travel to another area to reside. Forest service doesn't always implement preventative measures. So this being one of the times they do. Its important to make sure it happens. Before there is anymore devastating fires.

How is this their "home"? Have they paid property tax like the rest of us? How is this state even justifying this?!?!

They’ve had plenty of time to move. Why can the homeless trash/burn our beautiful forest? Tax paying citizens are only allowed to camp for 14 days! What about the homeowners rights near China Hat, they need to feel safe in their own community! This has gone on way too long and I’m surprised!

If you look at the Federal Regulations for camping on Federal land it states only 14 days. These people have over stated their welcome, they need to go and they have known about this for at least six months.

It is ironic the Bend Equity Group has filed a lawsuit to block the closure. Where is the indignation for the horrible environmental damage done by these campers who’ve violated the USFS long standing limit of a 14 day stay in a primitive camp site?

This has gone on too long. The forests near Woodside community and other neighborhoods need fire protection and protection from the homeless with guns and vicious dogs and the garbage left behind. The homeless have had plenty of notice.

the USFS has been planning this burn since Oct 2019... more than enough time for the homeless/advocacy groups to come up with a plan to move...

This has been going on for way too long & it is ridiculous to postpone as they have known this needs to be done. The forest needs to be protected & these do gooders are too late to the game & so much time & money spent on homeless with ZERO results. We need DOGE. for Oregon!

We live near China Hat and the fear of fire and crime is constant. Plus the forest is being destroyed by illegal cutting of trees, garbage and toxins

The danger of fire starting in this area is incredibly high and impacts large subdivisions. It is mandatory to close this area for the safety of all. This should not be a place for camping to be allowed as it has been.
