Moving a disaster nightmare from one location to another is pathetic! Oh poor Melanie was surprised by this last minute decision by the county. Well, now you know how we the community feel when you make decisions without any input from the citizens.You are a horrible mayor to dump this garbage on us

As a tax payer I don't want to pay for shelters for the unemployed but I simply don't trust the city council or the mayor concerning the camp.

This would be an Enabling idea for for people who choose to live the 'Homeless' lifestyle.

It's time for "tough love". We can't keep enabling the behavior we've seen on Hunnel Road and simply move it across town, "managed" or not. Google "Coronado CA Homeless" and see what they have done to almost eliminate homelessness. It can be done, but not the way Bend is trying to do it.

Keibler, the Les Schwab location was NOT a solution just a speedy bandaid applied to a stop bleeding. Bend needs more than just a bandaid...

We need homeless centers that do not impact local businesses. These centers should be sited away from business areas and those locations along major roadways.

Putting it there would have put many people in jeopardy and would have hurt many businesses.

Yes

How dare the County Commission listen to their constituents!! Well...all except Chang.

this is a bandaid, its massaging the symptoms, not addressing the cause, but more importantly the people don't want it. That's why the commissioners voted no. They listened to their consituents.

Because noone looked at putting the encampment on the West Side. That would be too close to home.

Finally someone stood up and said No.Until officials realize that just throwing money and providing free stuff actually promotes homelessness and stops the practice, the problem will not go away. I believe most are happy with the free stuff and freedom to do drugs or whatever they want .

The city failed to involve the community in three location that the homeless safe parking was supposed to move to. The mayor says that this issue involves the community but clearly doesn't value the community's opinion. This was a one-sided power move by a politician.

Glad to see more "reasonable heads" prevailed. Free camping on public property should not be allowed, it only promotes more of the same humanitarian disaster by individuals that live this lifestyle by choice.

Poor location as south entrance to Bend. Not enough answers to the homeless problem.

We need to look at the "root cause" of this problem locally and nationally. Our Governments have contributed to this problem and it needs to be corrected with a change in direction which starts with the Federal Government down to local communities.

The solution is not enabling them with services and help. Its a drug problem. Address that. They are not local people, they came here because Bend offers a place to stay and continue to use drugs whenever they want. City Council is NOT in the favor of the tax payers. They want to push the problem

It's about time If you did not become homeless while living in bend oregon then we cannot help Go back to your home state for help

The location was unacceptable on many levels.

Stop enabling them to stay homeless. Quit giving them everything, force them to change their lives.

Build more homeless shelters instead
