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

Beginning to look like the city wants to be a mini Portland. Not what Central Oregon is all about.

Piping the canals to conserve water is the logical next step. Where does Commissioner Adair think the wildlife got a drink before the canals were made over 100 years ago? I will admit reducing Junipers and reinvigorating our wild grasslands makes sense.

The canals were not put in as "water features" for people's backyards. Build your own water feature and pay for the water. This water is meant for agriculture.

Commission Adair, where do you think wildlife get water when irrigation water is off Oct-March? Please share your plan and funding strategy for removing 5 million juniper trees. What will happen to the wildlife that live in those trees. Your argument is weak.

Why do Bend residence have to accommodate Jefferson county. I'm sure someone up there can figure a way go pump the water they need out of Lake Billy Chinook

Wildlife has relied on these open canals for decades. There is no other option for critter water.
