I am frustrated at this proposal. It concerns me that a homeless camp is being proposed near schools. Our children's safety is my main concern.

Homeless camps should not be set up in the city, especially not in residential or commercial areas, There should be county or BLM land available on the outskirts of the city, if you drive along China Hat road there are already a lot of homeless people camping out on BLM land.

Have you looked at the plan? It's not going to be tents and grocery carts. It's going to be MANAGED HOUSING with rules and restrictions for pete's sake! Pay attention first. Then form an opinion.

It's a no-brainer to NOT put these camps anywhere near schools! Whoever is considering this should have their head examined.

Rick Allen

Why would anyone even think about doing something that stupid? It is so obviously a very bad idea! DUH

Vernon Budd

The mayor & Bend City Council Need to go they don't care about kids But if you did something they would be all over you

Vernon Budd

Barney Fife needs to go also he don't care either He needs to retire from KTVZ He is a joke

I live in Culver (97734). All my children are grown. No homeless camps near schools, daycare schools or residential areas, period.

Public safety! That seems like the last place to put it.

HAHAHAHAHA........F--K YES!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Paul Owen

There is a lot at 9th and Wilson that could make a good camp. Flat close to medical and mental health services plus near utility hookups and patrol services

Pamela Joe

No it should not be nears schools and day cares. I agree we need one. Perhaps near community services and churches?

Christena

Homeless camps should be outside city limits not near our children.

John Philo

This is a disaster waiting to happen. Why put kids in danger?

Kim Gilder

It shouldn't be anywhere near kiddos. It's just bed planning and I'm sure the homeless people don't want to be in such an observed area, either. Has anyone asked the homeless where they think it should be?

Gabe West

Put it on china hat road!

I don't think this is concerning because the location will be monitored.

This is bend Oregon it's one entire neighborhood. I'd like you expect the most part of that US citizens are us property. The US government is responsible for every single us person.

ErinEllem

What’s the point of putting it further away from town? That cuts off their already-limited availability to food, clean water, medical support, and basic care. Your kids are gonna learn about homelessness one way or another, and our tax dollars will be going to something other than corpse disposal.

Brian Berg

What does concern me is biased reporting about this issue. Every story is from the opposition. Why not interview Chuck Hemmingway or Jim Porter, who are board members for Central Oregon Villages? The community gets info from you, you should provide both sides, not just opposition point of view.

Biden needs to open the keystone pipeline and resume oil exploration

Paul Owen

The strategic oil reserves are for times like this. We should also keep an eye on the oil companies and make sure they are not making extreme profits off the backs of the American citizens. After all that petroleum is being pumped from American taxpayers land that has been leased to these oil co.

Gabe West

Greg Moore

No, the reserve is not for time like this, it is for times when we don't have oil available. We do have oil available now, and a LOT of oil available. It is just that Biden (and pseudo-environmentalists) don't want us to use it.

Nik Myles

The US shouldn't be relying on foreign sources of energy when we have more than enough to be energy independent again. We were energy independent just over one year ago. But that ended on day one of this administration.

Steven Huillet

Absolutely! Prices are way too high! Just another attempt of oil companies taking advantage of a big situation like in the 1970's.

Gabe West

Bide the keystone pipeline and resume oil exploration

Greg Moore

Explain why oil companies would not provide as much oil as possible at a time when prices are sky high. No, the prices are high due to speculation of shortage, given Biden's refusal to open up the spigot (the oil leases he claimed unused are not proven, exploration still necessary. ANWAR is KNOWN

Loretta Jones

Price is getting ridiculous. Average working person can't afford commuting to and from work.

We may need our reserves for war before this is over. Increase supply and lower costs by reversing Biden's orders and policies. https://americansforprosperity.org/biden-policies-raising-gas-prices/?fbclid=IwAR3jOvKpxrWnyT1iz2JrBflODu-aV7aHZdj_B4JgTndUI-8XFvAwXp3M1Jw

David Tucker

Absolutely not. Oil prices (and therefore gas prices) would drop dramatically if Congress would just reverse the disastrous executive orders Biden has put into effect restricting U.S. oil production.

Greg Moore

Why tap into a reserve that is meant for when Oil is unavailable? We have plenty of oil available, it is just that irrational environmentalists don't want us to use it: https://www.realclearenergy.org/articles/2022/03/07/greenpeace_environmentalism_allowed_putin_to_invade_ukraine_820399.html

Ben Hargis

Don't waste the reserves......open the keyst one pipeline, increase production and exploration in the West

John Philo

OPEN THE KEYSTONE PIPELINE!

These letters allow people who can't financially compete with investors the opportunity to stand out.

Rob Mozz

It's your property, you should be able to use whatever information you want to decide the sale. Say I'd rather sell my property to a local family instead of a corporate developer that should be my choice.

Sussie Due

Yes they should. That is how I sold a piece of real estate I had. Happened four years ago. Was given a higher offer from a developer but I went with the people that sent me the letter. I was able to pick who was going to live next door to me. Have never regreted it. They are the best neighbors!

k san

Why not???

Ben Hargis

Who cares? How is it not fair? Anyone can write a letter. Just another issue liberal politicians waste time and money on.

Robert Northrup

We have a Democrat controlled legislature that thinks it should have total control over our lives even to the extent of taking away our freedom of speech.
