As long as it brings with it some accountablity. If the point in time numbers come down over 2 years, great. If not, she should be fired.

No, you can't help people if they don't want it. Houseless are pretty much doing what they want, legally or not.

As long as the homeless are respectful in their mannerisms then Yes. If they are disrespectful to the community then get rid of them.

The ones of you voting no have probably never had to deal with being homeless before. You should try it and then come back and revote.

53 years ago Neil Armstrong walked on the moon. Democrats today have felons and homeless walking the streets.

I've been taking care of homeless people, since I joined the Navy in the late sixties. I voted "No."

It's about time to bring back the old county infirmary or poor farm for the county’s indigent citizens. Past time.

Pan handling is more lucrative in public places. The City needs to quit enabling these people. The homeless have their own lives to destroy, but not the innocent people around them. I am not being mean, I am being honest.

Yes! And the minute they come back stop them in there tracks and not let them set up again. This will eliminate future sweeps.
ReplyNO WILD CAMPING on public streets that’s what campgrounds are for!! NOBODY is above the law,
ReplyThey shouldn't be there in the first place. Camps should only be allowed outside of city limits. Sweep away!
ReplyMaybe ppl will get tired of having to move enough that they will opt for a temporary shelter in a building or 1 of those single-bed homes like they are building in Portland. Saw on the news last night. tiny house with room for sgl bed and the "village" has community bathrooms and is managed onsite.
ReplyWe dont want Bend to turn onto Portland
ReplyTriage housing services based on priority and need, overall people need to be willing to seek mental health support, abide by curfew and no drugs and no alcohol and rules like no pets, then, based on need first families with kids, then elderly then other adults
ReplyBend is looking like Portland and southern California
