Bend doesn’t have a homeless crisis because they don’t allow vagrants to camp all over their vibrant little city — problem solved.
Like plenty of other places they tell transients they can either leave for Eugene or go to jail.
Obviously not everyone can afford to live here; must Oregon taxpayers underwrite everyone who shows up with a backpack or dilapidated motor home?
If you think yes, expect hundreds more. It’s a fact: Transients are given “bus ticket ultimatums” all over the USA — their one way destination is … downtown Eugene.

Help keep truly independent
local news alive!
As the year wraps up, we’re reminded — again — that independent local news doesn’t just magically appear. It exists because this community insists on having a watchdog, a megaphone and occasionally a thorn in someone’s side.
Over the past two years, you helped us regroup and get back to doing what we do best: reporting with heart, backbone, and zero corporate nonsense.
If you want to keep Eugene Weekly free and fearless… this is the moment.
