We are losing too many large trees in Bend. Among other things, they are a carbon sink. We can't afford to lose them.

Climate change is nothing to worry about

Duane Wyman

Just look at the RV park clear cut along Murphy Road and the Parkway overpass! Massive, stripping the land of mature Ponderosa Pines - totally not good! Wasn't Bend once proclaimed a "Tree City USA" resource? NOT.

Paul Bianchina

The "New Bend" is in the pocket of the big developers, which includes allowing them to clear-cut huge areas of land while Bend pretends to be a "tree city". Look at the older developments, and you'll see how trees used to be saved. Builders need to work around the trees instead of destroying them.

Wendy Olstad

For starters I like trees more than houses. And developers have gotten away with murder just clearing whole lots of every little bit of vegetation. Bend is losing a lot of charm and it gets worse every day.

Mary Kay Boldajipour

Bend let the car wash on Reed Lane remove a beautiful tree! For a car wash! With no need! That area is empty and has little landscaping.

The government shouldn't control us

Yet you constantly say how the government should control women, LGBTQ+ communities, anyone that isn't a cis white male. You are a Nazi, Gabe. Just calling a spade a spade. And climate change is real, boo-boo. Your bishop must be mortified at your constant ignorance.

Bend is a densely forested area. You can’t build much larger than a shed without clearing tree. Why should the City be able to tell me what I can do with the trees on my property? Welcome to the Peoples Republic of Bend.

You should definitely move to an area where there's more simple-minded folks like yourself to hang with.

I agree

Do you believe the POTUS should have broad authority to impose tariffs on other countries?

Because the president wants to put America first and make it as prosperous as it once was. #MAGA

Exec branch has the responsibility to manage the economy with other countries, congress can’t even produce an annual budget - look at this democrat shutdown, they want to spend another 1.5T on healthcare subsidies- sorry, we are in the hole $35T, wake up America.

Trump’s tariffs violate the constitution. Congress holds the nations purse strings. I can’t believe we hardly heard a peep from members of Congress on his actions. Spineless

Rick Martinson

Absolutely not. The Constitution gives that authority to Congress, NOT the executive branch of the government. Trump’s actions are absolutely illegal and unconstitutional. But he doesn’t care, and has been giving Congress and the American People the finger for the past 10 months.

Mike Moreno

Memo to trump...there is a document in this country called the Constitution. Read it, learn it, live it.
