I think the city should be responsible for those who don't have the home. I feel they should have basic resources. They should at least take care of the garbage and human waste.

Oregon chooses to legalize drugs that contribute to a majority of homeless issues. I guess the majority of the people should support providing for their welfare.

Judy Ostrom-Dixon

hundreds of homeless have full time jobs and are not drug users, they simply cannot afford the outrageous cost of living in our crap society!!

Judy Ostrom-Dixon

You either pay for the services or pay to clean up the mess later...which is easier?

Bev Schlegel

It's simple. Everyone needs trash service and toilets. And if our city is serious about addressing houselessness, this is how we start.

As a civilized society we don't want people dying in the streets. Yes some have drug and alcohol problems, but some are just hard on their luck. Be Christ like people.

The house less people are part of our community and since the transient camp was unable to be built thanks to NIMBYs, we should absolutely provide basic humanitarian resources such as sanitation and bathrooms for these fellow humans. I fully support my tax dollars being used for this purpose.

Paul Owen

We need to help those in need and find a way to get them the help they need we need to create a camp for the homeless in or near town with portable potties showers and garbage and close to medical and psychological services. Help give them a hand up.

Bev Schlegel

Totally

Many other Cities do so why don't we? I do know that the City of Bend is Not fond of our Homeless which is sad.

I don't think the city should have to pay for any of this. The city shouldn't be held accountable for the homeless camps.

The more free services that are provided makes going to work not an option. There is work out there.

Vernon Budd

No run them out of town period

Dave Voiles

No! Our "woke" community is turning this city into another Seattle/Portland. These people "network" with each other around the country. They know where to go for the best handouts. The vast majority of these people are NOT bendites. The handling of this has been pathetically shortsighted.

Christena

There are MANY services offered. Maybe a bus ticket to somewhere they can afford or find work? The camps need to be eradicated.

Nancy

The state should pay - I agree we need to tackle the problem, but let's not let Bend turn into Portland :(

JamesCruz

Why should Bend pay the entire bill? How about split it with the State and the cities where the homeless originate?

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

Steven Miles

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.

Congress has the power of the purse, if only they would use it. but they're too scared of being primaried by him. Of course, he should not have 1/3 of the powers he has adopted, whether constitutional or not. He's an abomination!!

Tom Pummer

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.
