I am frustrated at this proposal. It concerns me that a homeless camp is being proposed near schools. Our children's safety is my main concern.

Homeless camps should not be set up in the city, especially not in residential or commercial areas, There should be county or BLM land available on the outskirts of the city, if you drive along China Hat road there are already a lot of homeless people camping out on BLM land.

Have you looked at the plan? It's not going to be tents and grocery carts. It's going to be MANAGED HOUSING with rules and restrictions for pete's sake! Pay attention first. Then form an opinion.

It's a no-brainer to NOT put these camps anywhere near schools! Whoever is considering this should have their head examined.

Rick Allen

Why would anyone even think about doing something that stupid? It is so obviously a very bad idea! DUH

The mayor & Bend City Council Need to go they don't care about kids But if you did something they would be all over you

I live in Culver (97734). All my children are grown. No homeless camps near schools, daycare schools or residential areas, period.

Public safety! That seems like the last place to put it.

HAHAHAHAHA........F--K YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

There is a lot at 9th and Wilson that could make a good camp. Flat close to medical and mental health services plus near utility hookups and patrol services

Pamela Joe

No it should not be nears schools and day cares. I agree we need one. Perhaps near community services and churches?

Christena

Homeless camps should be outside city limits not near our children.

John Philo

This is a disaster waiting to happen. Why put kids in danger?

Kim Gilder

It shouldn't be anywhere near kiddos. It's just bed planning and I'm sure the homeless people don't want to be in such an observed area, either. Has anyone asked the homeless where they think it should be?

Put it on china hat road!

No, it doesn't concern me.

I don't think this is concerning because the location will be monitored.

This is bend Oregon it's one entire neighborhood. I'd like you expect the most part of that US citizens are us property. The US government is responsible for every single us person.

What’s the point of putting it further away from town? That cuts off their already-limited availability to food, clean water, medical support, and basic care. Your kids are gonna learn about homelessness one way or another, and our tax dollars will be going to something other than corpse disposal.

Brian Berg

What does concern me is biased reporting about this issue. Every story is from the opposition. Why not interview Chuck Hemmingway or Jim Porter, who are board members for Central Oregon Villages? The community gets info from you, you should provide both sides, not just opposition point of view.
