Trees are part of the draw to Bend. I don't think enough credit is given to the fact that we have the ONLY juniper forest (real trees) in the world 🌎!

Best used to be called "Tree City USA", not so much anymore as developers "clear cut" huge parcels of land!

Couldn't agree more. So let's vote them out as soon as possible. If we believe in the integrity of our elections any more. P.S. it's not un Christ like to disagree with someone.

We don't need anymore liberal committees to control us. Oregon has become an extension of California. It seems people never learn.

If you are not doing something you shouldn't be doing, what difference do cameras make? Everywhere you go, assume there is a camera recording what you are doing. Except bathrooms, bedrooms and dressing rooms, of course. There are limits.

If anything, we need red light cameras. Way too many run red lights. Especially on 27th.

No. We need police not cameras. Vote for a city council that doesn't defund the police. We are fast becoming Portland.

Of course, this doesn't solve everything, but it's a good step. It is not going to cause an influx of homeless from CA. They are getting services in CA. No one wants to come to Bend and freeze in the winter with the hope of a shelter.

You can't keep giving to people without making them responsible. Everyone should have drug tests. Everyone should have to "give back" in some way. Either by getting a job, or volunteering to the community.

I pay enough in taxes, most of the homeless want to be homeless, they get paid for doing nothing.

Only solves a portion of the real issue of mental health and alcohol and drug issues. Plus there is the concern that an influx of more homeless flooding up from the California, to get free services they are not getting there.

you must fix policy, not throw money at it. When you decriminalize hard drugs and sleeping on streets and let hard criminals out of jail it all adds up.

Oregon keeps throwing good money after bad, will not help. Recriminalize drugs , fund and respect police and how about having the homeless work..keep their camps clean, parks, other civic projects, require recurring drug tests.

Throwing good money after bad. Bring back crimalization of drugs, fund and respect for police, have the homeless work even if just cleaning their own camps, parks, etc, drug tests on a regular basis.
