I don't see a single tire chain on a single car.
North Bend is a mountain town. Why do the residents have two wheel drive cars with summer tires? This happens every winter.
City people
It’s a “mountain town” but most people, especially that have moved there in the last 20 years, live in the low lying areas around the river at 500’ elevation.
Cause America. Forcing people to get 4wd is like forcing people to get the vaccine. Don’t be a hypocrite now
Safety... tax dollars to make roads safe. You know how many people died from snow and ice accidents?????? Taxes you pay are to maintain. Talking as if 2 wheels vs 4 wheel us the issue. Grow up... its Safety. People Die on these types of dangerous roads. Why buy 4 wheel drive when your taxes pay to clear roads from Hazzardous material??? Stfu
That's not an excuse for the city but doing a good job.
Sounds like a good spot to set up a snow plow business. I call "Mr. Plow".
Please use proper pronouns.
Very true. I think it’s so typical of lower class citizens to complain about something they can easily exploit for their own, as well as everybody else in the area’s benefit. That’s the real difference in poor and rich people. Some see a problem and complain, others see an opportunity and take. Perspective is a powerful tool that I’m glad you are diligently using 👍
@@sorry2527 who the fugg are you? Narcissist O'The Year? Just one week into it and your running off with the title 😜 in the guise of Bruce Gender on, in, and at steroids!
@@seahawks5725 I think you have a misunderstanding of the word narcissist bud. Or maybe I’m Ill informed. So please tell me. What part of providing a service that benefits the community is narcissistic? And, how is complaining about, then asking somebody else to fix your issues not? I’ll wait. 🤔
The plow finally came. It said "Tonka" on the side.
I missed East Side. Keep the environment clean.
only child minds didnt see this coming . unfortunately that is the real pandemic
Buy a 4x4 if you live in the mountains
Most of the people in North Bend live down by the river at about 500’ elevation.
@@peterthechristensen ALL of the people in North Bend live in the snow line. If they don’t live there, they certainly do business there.
It’s my island!!! (From movie braveheart)
Oh no! A bunch of fancy cars stuck in some snow!
Stay warm Hanna !
sand
All these city's got there federal funds and went partying why'll everyone else delt with crap
The plows aren't even getting the snow off the streets lol. I live in Northern Ca and they use only sand and small gravel for all the roads up here, but first gotta plow the snow off. *The more you know*
@2:00 - That is a snowplow, with a spreader! It seems to be spreading sand. Mix in some sawdust. Better blade edges would help also!
If people would put on studded tires and Chains or cables they can get around just fine, don.t depend on anyone else. for nothing, just saying.
if i do that can i quit paying city taxes? i mean taxes are supposed to be used for this kind of stuff if i have chains or studded tires doesn't that mean i dont need that service?
I live just outside North Bend (unincorporated KC). The slush piles, etc on North Bend roads (lack of putting that plow blade down) are beyond what a citizen should expect. I run two full (vs just AWD) 4x4s and they are still having to be run in 4x as of yesterday.
At first after initial snowfall a couple weeks ago, I was like peeps are just b****ing. But the roads never improved. And that IS on that local government. Plow yer darn roads.
That is why truck and car are sliding and causing trouble
Taking care of your water supply.
That's why you get a 4wd, folks.
I wonder if they have looked into using beet juice deicer, it’s natural and much better for the environment. Some places in Canada use it to deice roads.
They was not prepared for any of these weather conditions. Imagine if our government use that tax money to actually prepared for these kinda disaster yes all we can do is imagine....😅
If you live in North bend you know you live in the foothills wouldn't you have a four-wheel drive all I see getting stuck is plastic two-wheel drives and shitbox Volvos 🤣
People in the comments are complaining about the cities response to this ‘disaster’ or ‘weather emergency’. It’s snow. Expect it if you decide to live in a town in the foothills of the Cascade mountains. Get snow tires or cars that can handle such things. Stop whining.
great thay can stop paying taxes too since the taxes arent bieng used to maintain the roads if its up to the citizen to buy chains and tires
Puts a smile on my face whenever I hear lawmakers being proactive about protecting our natural resources especially something as important as our water source. Not just jumping to use chemicals so they can quickly and cost effectively fix the issue is a huge improvement within law makers caring for the future. Huge ups!!! Keep it up and we’ll keep the votes in the same direction…
Exactly, coming from someone who probably never drives through those conditions. Probably couldn't afford it anyway. Your 97 mazda won't make it through the pass
That's an awful cop out. You good that opinion, fine but then you better have more than four plows. You also better have a plan (not option) to call in additional help. You pay tax money not for a government to throw up their hands and wish the snow away. It's the winter, it snows. Get a back up plan together if you're going to not use de-icer.
Lol, small town citizen either get rid of their mayor or live it up and accept who they placed in office.
Wait until the mayor gets a medical bill from a lawyer from accidents. Your mayor is absolutely responsible for accidents. My God HES A TOOL ... PROBABLY SPENT YOUR ROAD MONEY OM HIMSELF.
HE DIDN'T SOUND LIKE HE Gave q shit
They don't want to spend money never mind if people don't live
Who the hell lives in the PNW, and complains about snow... 1st world problems.
I would much rather have clean drinking water than clear streets for a few days. You really should of led with that part. But then again that’s MSM for ya!
Sand
Typical transplant mayor…LMAO
Get chains!
Plowing is better than nothing. Just wacks who can't manage money!!!!!!!!! Jooooooooke!!!11
North Bend is a small town. it does not have the feel of a city where people will get a quick response in weather emergency like this.
Seattle and the people who live here are good at one thing EXCUSES. Know that we live in the NW yet don't have the equipment, AND Washington has paid for laziness in the workforce. Feel bad for people in North Bend but you need to vote out the people keeping you down!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes!
West coast liberals...liberals in general...LOL
they can still plow just lazy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
If they used deicer just 10% of what is recommended it would make things twice as good as it is now. Let the people decide.
Yeah fuck the environment. The PNW is only the largest forest in the continental USA & we don’t need to take care of those trees
@@ricecakeboii94 use regular salt you fools!!! The same issue with water tables is there for many towns in New England yet they manage to use sand & salt along with plowing just fine without issues.
@@hubbablahloo1843 New England isn’t in North Americas largest forest, our forest is comparable to the Amazon rainforest. Just a FYI.
A citizen's safety is important Mr. Mayor.
Citizens should learn that it snows in winter, and they should stock up on enough supplies to last so that they don't have to drive. Human convenience does not trump the existence of everything else. We're killing off our wildlife, as well as polluting our water and soil, but hey, safety first, right?
Best to rely on your own bad self rather than the good graces of complete strangers, let alone relying on public officials.
Left Seattle 20 years ago anticipating it's future. Never imagined that the rural North Bend would fall to the SJW this soon
It fell a while ago. Newbies are like-- get rid of all dis Nature and cougars.
@@jodylancaster8706 No. Not hardly.
H.K. is cute!!
Most people don't care about salting our rivers, lakes, or the puget sound; I see people dumping that blue de-icer, as well as Roundup, all over the place here in town, and I'm silently saying goodbye to all the living creatures that we're wiping off the face of the earth.
They need to apply anti ice and de ice we used it f a long time
If your gonna stop doing something that works,shouldn't you have a better working plan in place? Not for this Mayor. When did you say the next election is ?
Lol governor insane strikes again
All this city people mad because they have to commute to Seattle/Bellevue, making there money while driving up home prices. North bend needs to turn into its own thriving city, keeping things local and sustainable. As inconvenient as it is to commute like that, props the the Mayer. Keep North Bend a local and healthy mountain town
U don't like snow don't live in the mountains
Who cares! If you choose to live in the mountains you should expect snow and expect a lot of it! This is absurd as the people that complain about the mountain lions when they go and invade their natural habitat... Get over yourselves...
Vaccine Mandates caused
Important matinemce
🤣🤣🤣🤣Thick As Thieves are stealing from their slaves; we slaves are bunch of deer to them, that stares in to headlights.
Come again?
When you 'fire' people for not wanting be 'mandated' or forced to do something , this is a result...
Get a Subaru with studded snow tires you lame ducks! YOU LIVE IN THE MOUNTAINS!
Even chains aren't going to help you with much slushy snow on the ground.
@@hubbablahloo1843 so go move to Florida.
“We love this city” then stop crying about it and love it. It’s beautiful and whiners make it ugly.
Imagine wanting your city to put your tax money to use to clear roads so you can get to work being described as "whining"
@@WrasslinKing
Imagine believing “your tax money” is being put to good use.
Imagine living in a town that Mother Nature delivers snow and ice weather to every year and complaining or excuse me, whining about the city and their tax dollars not remedying the issues.
@@slaphappy5252 Is snow delivered by mother nature going to pay your bills? And yes your tax money is supposed to remedy this issue like it does literally anywhere a service like this is needed. Hello?
@@WrasslinKing
Please tell me exactly where your taxes go smarty pants. I know where they’re “supposed” to go too but please do tell. Snow doesn’t pay my bills nor does it stop me from getting around.
@@slaphappy5252 Snow doesn't pay your bills and because you can get around, not everyone can as easily so it's mighty privileged of you to not understand that snow being left on the road is disruptive to many. NOt only for work but also even for older folks/sick folks to get their medication from a pharmacy and so many other reasons. Your taxes are supposed to go to have more than 4 plows available. SO spare us from your privilege
More liberal policies placed into real world situations.
Folks who live in North Bend should buy 4 wheel drive vehicles.
