Yes, ironic and very sad. From the site-
"This is a classic example of why we implore members of the public not to feed bears," wildlife biologist Kurt Licence told KOIN. "While the individuals who put food out for this bear may have had good intentions, bears should never, ever be fed."
In Oregon, it is illegal to scatter food or garbage that could attract "potentially habituated wildlife," according to KOIN.
Licence said it is unfortunate that the bear was fed in the first place — especially in an area where many families go for recreation and so close to a busy road.

Last month a bear climbed into a tree near the street between my son's home and the house next door. A residential neighborhood; not out in the sticks. But, there is a small park and pond and the end of the street. It ran away.
