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% !!?

58%

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!!

Trump is a clear danger to Democracy. I don't think MAGA people actually listen to his "speeches"/rambling offensive tirades of many half-truths.. but also easily disproven outright lies. How anyone can support him at this point, is bizarre.

Steven Huillet

I voted for Trump because of his policies. Harris has none, just the same terrible Biden policies.

Michael Bruner

You have no rights to complain unless you vote!

Larry Ewart

A vote for the Democratic Party is a vote for one party rule. I never felt that way until the Biden administration took over and opened the border to allow so many to come across unvetted. I have never understood why it takes 3 to 5 years to get a green card. Makes no sense.

Trump for president save America, do you’re research on Harris!

Do "you're" research?

I dont vote. Its just a way for the government to THINK we have a say. They already have it planned out.

This type of tax will always be passed on to we consumers. Oregonians already pay an income tax. It's another heavy burden on Oregon consumers that will be passed on to us - the increased costs is nothing but a hidden tax.

Joe Ottlinger

It's a huge tax on everyone. No thanks

Andrew Shooks

This is a sneaky way to get sales tax in place and will add as much as 15% to the consumer's cost for retail purchases.

Steven Huillet

Just another way to ruin Oregon.

David Kline

It's a hand out to the rich who can afford to live here only 200 days out of the year.

Latterdaysaint

Vote no!

steven

And yes. Like Gabe.
