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

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.

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.

Do you think this suspect should be allowed to keep his dogs as his case unfolds?

Are you Fing kidding?

Exactly! This awful man should never be allowed to own animals for the rest of his life! Once an abuser, always an abuser. No matter that he is a vet. It doesn't excuse this abusive behavior, especially over tiny dogs!

Lisa York

I don't think he should get his dogs back until a psych eval is done and he's deemed ok to own an animal. I also think that your reporter's continued hounding of him for an interview after he clearly declined was appropriate or professional.
