It will help those who want to be helped, but the percentage of those is unknown. Those with mental illness and/or drug addictions need help with those issues first before they can appreciate a safer place to live.

As long as they are managed by responsible people to help the people living there.

Shamra D Wampler

Absolutely! I do not think people should be allowed to live there for more than a couple of years, until they are on their feet though. They can then move to low income housing, and move up from there. A lot of this is needed, and it works. Look at how much it helped in Utah! It saved a lot of money

It will help keep them off the streets and causing trouble

Unless you screen them you'll end up with addicts and free loaders instead of people who need and want to be helped to get back on their feet.

Sussie Due

As long as we continue to support them they will never get back on their feet and work at many of the 1000's of jobs available out there.

Robert Northrup

You can't give people anything. They will destroy it because they don't care.

Kenneth Emmrich

The vast majority of homeless people want to be homeless. It is like a badge of honor for them. The more you do for the homeless the more there will be. The dogooders are creating another society of dependents. How has LBJ's "Great Society" worked out?

Obviously, if kids who shouldn't be riding these bikes cannot ride them to school, that represents hours of the day that they won't be on them, being reckless, violating basic rules of the road, and putting lives, including theirs, in danger.

Cause THEY ARE ALWAYS LATE🤬

Loy Helmly

Missed glad recycling pickup twice.

Rick Allen

We do not even have any recycling in my area, no cardboard, no glass, no nothing!!!

Jacob Wilton

I have a business literally across the street from their office/dump location and still get consistently missed on recycling. I have been missed regularly on garbage as well. The city has the ability to pull their contract if this continues.

Kathi McDonald

I live in Crook County. We went a whole month without recycle pick up. The service is always on FB because of inconsistent service. We went two weeks with no garbage pickup. It's like this all over the city as well as out of city limits! VERY FRUSTRATING when you're paying for a service!

LOL. In Crooked River Ranch - we don't know what 'recycling' is. The garbage company totally did away with it. So - I feel no sympathy for some of you who have 'delays'.

Mark Mueller

Unfortunately we don't have curbsid pickup in rural Deschutes Co. Garbage PU has been good since its been Republic.

Dave Leverick

I have never had a problem with cascade disposal If there is a problem they notify by email and phone
