What a coincidence that I see this article shortly after reading about YET ANOTHER FIRE at an illegal homeless encampment just north of Bend. One of these days these camps WILL cause a fire covering tens of thousands of acres in Sisters Country, and then we'll all be homeless. How much do you want to bet that the homeless camps won't go away, but those of us living in trailers on our burnt out property will be punished for living in unpermited structures?
