Many rural areas have no nearby choices and many students would have no transportation. Parents who are concerned with local districts can become involved in improving them.

I think the city does to much for homeless that never lived in Bend or anywhere in Oregon some are here for the free ride provided by the city of bend at taxpayers expensive We need a new city council

In my opinion, the city of Bend waited too long to take action in regard to the huge homeless situation. Hunnell Rd. is a perfect example. As soon as broken down motorhomes and trash showed up it should have been dealt with. It's so out of control it will be almost impossible to properly address.

Create and distribute a flyer that lists other cities where the handouts are better then here (if there are any). Or at least locations that have the same great level of services but have better weather. Those who want help will stay, many of those who prefer this life style will move on.

No reasonable long term solutions...only an endless game of Wack-a-Mole chasing the homeless from one location to another. The homeless are being treated like a bunch of lepers that residents with housing hope will go away. Good luck with that.....more homeless are coming with the good weather.

Maybe by making it more enjoyable. Being homeless use to be a hardship now it's like a permeant vacation where someone else pays.

Actually no city in OR is doing enough to address this, their solution is just to throw good money after bad. Try bring back accountablity, recrimilize drugs , respect law enforcement, etc
