re: #16 gwangung

Think Bend has been co-opted by the wealthy looking for second homes (thought there might be some decent neighborhoods….). Medford/Ashland has decent housing, though with forest fires taking up more and more of the summer, the air quality may take a beating during the warm parts of the year.

Yeah, Bend got spendy for sure, and it seems pretty conservative. I wish the Oregon Coast itself had better services because I’d like to be near the ocean but it’s pretty sparse.
