I don't think it's a question of more people...there's not a lot of new housing projects, especially along the coast. I think it's just filling up the empty or soon to be empty houses that people are coming into...so if a family leaves a house a new family comes in...not necessarily more people...and do you want empty/vacant houses around that are unkempt, dilapidated, and possible magnets for squatters/homeless people to take over? And yes...I am one of the people using this channel to move from Southern California to the Oregon Coast
I’d be curious to know what “most” means. 51%? 99%? I’m sympathetic to those affected by lack of affordable housing and to those who feel like their neighborhood/town/city is losing its charm. More needs to be done to address these issues.
Research the Cascadia Subduction Zone earthquake. It is predicted to be a 9.0. Everything will be toast from the Oregon Coast to Interstate-5, according to geologists.
regarding brookings. i moved here 10 years ago from l.a. county and it was definitely a good decision. sutter hospital in crescent city does not have a great reputation. not sure about gold beach’s hospital since it is fairly new…. the old hospital did not have a great reputation. basically you have to go to either medford or grants pass. medford is definitely NOT a 2 hour drive! i don’t know why the uploader said that. it’s nearly 3. grants pass is just over 2 hours away and they have decent medical facilities. however, the road from brookings into the inland valley is slow, winding and is subject to closure if there is snow or ice. also the wildfires last year crippled the road with repair closures. beware if that is a concern. we do have some good, local general practice doctors and dentists here but anything more serious will require a trip inland. it is somewhat reassuring to know that there are life flights available from brookings to medford in case of an emergency. you can buy insurance for this and the rates are affordable.
"medford is definitely NOT a 2 hour drive!" --- I agree :) I've also lived here for quite a while, since 2007, no way you can legally, safely, or comfortably drive that in 2 hours. Also like @artistinlederhosen said, be on the lookout for construction delays or even closures (rock slides, fire cleanup, bridge repair, etc...). Gold beach Hospital is A++ in my experience. However, I have Insurance, so you experience may differ if uninsured.
I thoroughly enjoyed your Oregon Coast video. You have a great talent for highlighting key points. My wife and I live near Sacramento and want to relocate due to heat, water shortages, and fires. We've visited Crescent City and Brookings, but had trouble getting insurance in Crescent City. We're hoping you can help us find the perfect Oregon Coast city based on our preferences: Evergreen trees Organic gardening (45-75 degrees Fahrenheit) Small rivers Beaches Pesticide/chemical-free zones Plant-based eateries (a plus!) Warm communities Reasonable sun for Oregon We were planning an Astoria trip, but after your video, we're open to other options. Thank you for your time. We look forward to hearing from you! Sincerely, Daren
I retired in Manzanita. So happy. The other two cities in the area - Nehalem and Wheeler - deserve mention. Best decision I’ve ever made but 🤫 sssh. Don’t tell anyone. Ohh shit my big mouth. Crossing my fingers regarding the big quake.
You should have also judged access to shopping: groceries, clothing, home goods and hardware. Many of these places require driving far for everyday supplies.
Paul, I think that this informational video is by far, your best one. There is good insight into possible healthcare needs, proximity to larger cities, and median home prices. You also included great information regarding property tax increases. We hope to be moving to the Oregon Coast from Tigard in the next year or two. This information is really appreciated. Thank you

Have you ever thought that most people who live in these town don't want more people moving there.

It certainly doesn't look to me like there is an over poplulation problem in any of these towns.

That’s right, nobody should move anywhere, stay where you are born!!! 🤦🏼♀️
What a stupid comment
Thanks for another helpful video!

What tsunami is going to cross the Cascades? That’s nonsense…it’s fear porn.
@@arthurnathan6622 Don't be a tard. The Coast Range is next to the coast. The Cascades are further inland on the east side of I-5.

Don’t move to Bandon, the beaches are ugly and the golf sucks~

cold, wet, dreary, no summer-just an early spring...Had the worst healthcare in Florence. The doctor has a reputation too, he is just repulsive.
Looking at retiring, smaller population, access to medical within reason… what town has plenty of townhomes as well?
Townhomes are not in abundance, but Lincoln City and Newport come to mind as towns with some options. Seaside and Florence as well.
I recommend the Coos Bay area or North Bend area. Moved here and never regretted it.
@MarieDahme I'm looking at relocating here what area of town would you recommend? or just outside of town.
@@victoriaradovanic2849 above the tsunami zone
Wow, you skipped Coos Bay. You have lost all credibility.
I pass through Coos Bay at least once a year. In my opinion it lacks a lot of the charm most of the coastal towns have.
Because it's an overpopulated ghetto.
