In the country away from home owners, farms, businesses. Unless this facility is strickly monitored there will be trash and drugs everywhere. Make a homeless city. With garbage. Water, shower and sewer services and let them go. Daily shuttle might be a good idea.

Yes, Ben Hargis: Away from residential areas churches, schools. NO ONE wants that in their back yard. I realize there needs to be managed camps for homeless people, and I hope some of the planned tiny-house-villages (away from established n'hoods) can provide for them on vast empty land in Redmond.

All in favor of helping. Fine line between helping and enabling. If you build it they will come

If the rent and housing situation would become more affordable for the people who work here, maybe then the people living in their cars or tents that have a job will be able to get back into a place of their own and off the street. As for the rest? Why keep giving them incentives?

Don't cover up the problem, find ways to help those that want help and for those that don't discurage camping in town.

I believe in a hand up, not a hand out. I believe permanent state/local government sponsored camp(s) enable bad decisions and bad behavior. Limited time for assistance motivates change. Everyone needs a hand up sometimes.

We must address addiction and mental illness, otherwise the problem will just continue to grow!

The more you do for the homeless the more homeless there are. The more homeless there are, the more they do. Do you you see a pattern? The vast percentage of the homeless population is a chosen lifestyle. If you cut off all services the homeless get there would little to no homeless.

How is this a Yes or No question? Does Yes mean more likely, and No less likely? Or does Yes simply mean, yes it affects me somehow?

Your question really needs to address wilderness camping as that activity impacts greatly the wilderness landscape. Day, permits, visits are far less destructive to the Three Sisters Wilderness and easier to obtain.

Your already paying for high gas prices to get there

"Your" already paying? Did you think the price of gas included admission to wherever "you're" going? How about Disneyland? "Your" already paying for the gas to go there so it should be free, right? Maybe if you fly they should pay you?

It is enforced to preserve the overall wilderness experience to benefit all who recreate and obtain a wild connection to Nature.

Dude, try to hike the Wonderland Trail at MRNP. It is a lottery for dates - good luck.

The bums are camping in or near the canal by Brookswood. COID is good about expelling them quickly but the trash blows all over the place. People used to walk this trail all the time. Now I see the vagrants smoking crack/meth. My neighborhood that borders this is full of families.
