But only if it was fully enforced.

Yes , I believe if you make it inconvenient for homeless people to set up camp , they will move on to another city. I do support homeless situations , if they take responsibility by checking into drug free shelters.

Most of what I hear on the news is about the homeless people, not much is reported on the infringement, the stress, nuisance, violence, drug use, filth and garbage that the decent law abiding, tax paying citizens are forced to endure! They need to stop enabling bad behavior! The focus seems wrong!

Exactly! The ban would work if aggressively enforced otherwise the result will be another Hunnell Rd, Juniper Ridge, China Hat, etc, etc.. With over 1500 calls to Bend PD for Hunnell Rd, how can this be called humane? The USFS should enact the same ban against free extended camping.

A camping ban may reduce the homeless tourism numbers or their length of stay, but the remaining homeless will simply become more emboldened about violating existing restrictions.

So you have to move every 24 hours, that's not a actual camping ban! How about provide them jobs like picking up trash, farning

I do not want meth heads working. They are dangerous enough already. And the ones that aren't junkies have ample opportunities for jobs and shelter, they choose not to.

We pick them off us and 3 pets fur and put them in a vial of alcohol. Too many so early. I get at least 3 on me/day.

Scientific quantification. We have a vial every year to compare. Not walking in woods, just driveway 30' to house or take trash out. Mow once/week.

Ticks are absolutely horrible this year, I've pulled numerous off both children and myself and we haven't even been deep into the woods, just on walking trails and in parks.

Yes. In the past 10 years, I have maybe found two ticks on me. In the past two weeks, I have had found two. We are always outside with the grands. Having Alpha Gal sucks (no pun intended), I don't need for it to get worse.

Not more than usual. Pro-tip, get Frontline (or equivalent) for your indoor+outdoor pets. It helps keep ticks out of your house.

Maybe less rowdy people and wild kids running around ruining the peace and quiet.

I don't want to plan ahead that much - prefer the spontaneous outings.

so we need a permit to walk in the woods now. What's next?

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.

We already pay taxes on this land and this adds a spontanious barrier to access. Loicals should be able to go and hike anytime anywhere. Permits can be for visitors

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

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