I think it's a good idea because we will see fewer homeless on the streets. They're people desperate for housing in Bend and this could be a goos solution.

Yes ofcourse. ! anything to help. As for those who say it's freebee's... ur pathetic and selfish.

Michael Funke

This is a proactive step by the city.

Todd Brown

Sure, if social services are also on-site. Substance abuse treatment, mental health etc. I've seen shelters be effective when combination of these services in one location.

Liz Mullin

Why not? They need temporary placement and it's conveniently located. It's about time!

Latterdaysaint

This will be great for the homeless

Mary Gemba

I didn't know the numbers of Bendites that are homeless until Carolyn E. said that on the news. Was that over 70% !!?

No, I don't support this.

I don't think this is a good idea in that area. I think 3rd street is always busy so I feel this decision will attract more homelessness.

No, the more freebies just enables homelessness.

Kristina Rutherford

That's to close to town especially right there.. they leave trash everywhere and dont care.

NotforBiden Dumblibtards

Quit enabling. Stop providing handouts to individuals who can work! The people who are provided shelter should have to be held to pick up their trash and find a job within a short time and get our. This is obnoxious anymore. Spineless enablers

Sussie Due

We don't need to be drawing in more homeless people. We already have enough as it is.

Nancy

No, There are empty buildings they could put the homeless in. Make the hotel for families low income or as a women's shelter.

Dave Voiles

Do you think it would stop here? When it's full what are you going to do next? But Hey! You did something! This is NOT dealing with the problem no matter how warm your virtue signaling little heart gets.

Teresa Parsons

No because Bend needs actual long term rental housing for homeless & low income families who have a hard time qualifying for a rental. I have lived here all of my 57 yrs and I can safely say that City of Bend could care less about people/families in need.

Christena

This isn't solving anything long term. Why are they their? Lack of affordable housing, drug rehab, or job training? These would be better areas to address, Clean up the garbage camps intown as well. When did that become ok?

Brad Livsey

Why stop at a motel complex or two? Let's consider residential developments making accommodation to all who cry foul..........'cause that's what it'll take once the word gets out. There's enough tax payers here in CO to divy up for the cost it'll incur, don't you know!!

Charlie Kirk was a man of faith and gave his very life for the values I stand for. He was a voice heard around the world

Pat Nelson Wilson

He doesn’t deserve it. He is a nobody and spewed hateful rhetoric.

Janice Adair

He was a racist, white supremacist, and very divisive figure. The political violence that ended his lift is a terrible thing but it’s something he helped foment. This is the most ridiculous idea I can imagine.

Lisa Alexander

He was a racist person who spread hate.

Jim Terry

Need I really explain

Jane CommunityMember

I never heard of this guy before he was murdered, but it looks like he had a track record of saying awful things, and fomented the conditions in society that led to his demise. That's very tragic, but there are other people more deserving of a day.

Robert Spaet

Irony: “It's worth it to have a cost of, unfortunately, some gun deaths every single year, so that we can have the Second Amendment to protect our other God-given rights…” Charlie Kirk 2023

k san

Absolutely NOT!! He was a racist extraordinaire and spread divisive speech and ideas.

Byron Barclay

Because his MO is actually deceptive & decisive!

Martie King

He is not a hero.

Linda Spaet

Though this is a tragic incident and a terrible time of violence in our country, Mr. Kirk was not an elected official. We should honor his family and respect them in many ways and I certainly have sympathy for his family. But this does not warrant aday in Oregon devoted to his name or his politics.

Robert Spaet

A highly partisan figure in American politics should never be given a day of observance for any reason. It should be acknowledge that violence is not acceptable in any form for any reason, but it should not be honored and given Publicity because of it.

Alex GERRITY

He was not a government figure, and while I don’t condone the violence that took his life, he called on his supporters to bail out others that committed violence against elected government officials.

Laurie Maholland

Mr. Kirk was too controversial and not a hero.

celeste carico

This guy was homophobic, racist, and anti women’s rights. While I think his murder is wrong, he is not a hero. He encouraged hatred towards people he didn’t agree with their lifestyles in his “teachings”. I don’t think Jesus would support him…he preached love for everyone!

Gerald Wonnacott

We didn't create a Melissa Hortmann day and she was a good person. Charlie Kirk's rhetoric was about racism, sexism, mysoginism, and divisiveness. He was not a good person and represented everything that was NOT Christian.

Priscilla Smith

Absolutely not!

Shannon Gamble

Sure! Let's give kudos to the shooter! NOT! What about the 5 officers who just got shot in Pennsylvania? Should we have a day for that too?? Absolutely NOT necessary.
