    1:10 bust out the solar panels because when it is not busy raining it is a good place to get power from the sun. I use portable panels, but people mount them on their houses for the same reason. You get good solar power here.

    9:50 as a local who’s grown up here I’ve gotten around the different areas of town and I have to say I do love the way some of these places look. Like some of these buildings are really cool. I used to get impressed by the architecture when I was a youngster.

    Southwestern Oregon is alright for me, and I'm only temporarily living here for college until June of this year when I graduate. I vastly prefer the entire coast and Northwestern Oregon. I prefer the nature and towns over there.

      @@Ineeadifferentusernamelol I do have a car. I don't like how Medford and Ashland are 20 minutes apart. Medford has a mall, airport, stores with more specific things, and more common restaurants. In the Portland area, things aren't as remote from smaller towns and suburbs.

    It’s an International Airport mainly for cargo and the ability to get freight in and out of customs. The airport is surrounded by duty-free zones. Going through customs here is a mush easier prospect than PDX or SEATAC or SFO.

    Very well-done video! Questions:
    1) air quality: I've read many reports about poor air quality due to forest fires.
    2) what is the wildfire risk in Medford and surrounding villages?
    3) mosquitos: how bad is it in the mountains and generally on trails?

      Thanks for watching! I'm glad you love it here! The home repair businesses seem to be doing well and tend to correlate pretty closely with the real estate market. When more homes are sold, more are repaired, etc.

    3:00 awww me and my sister go on these hikes all the time because they are short and sweet.
    If you want to go to table rock specifically, please remember that you cannot bring your dogs. Me and my sister were disappointed in that one time. The only location around where dogs aren’t allowed, we visited there lol. Everywhere else is fine unless stated otherwise. We use Roxy Ann peak now for our viewing experiences.

    The biggest problem in Medford right now is that they are filling up all the remaining green, open spaces with
    clunky, boring, ugly apartment blocks. Or hideous, unneeded strip malls, like that McAndrews/Springbrook atrocity.
    Who on the Planning Board got paid off to approve that? Everybody I know is boycotting that place.

    How do you navigate the insane government and politics of Oregon? I live in Washington so it's just as bad. Id like to move down by Ashland or Brookings etc, but I feel like id be going from bad to worse

    • @BuyingSouthernOregon

      We're actually making a lot of progress in Oregon. The legalization of drug possession was just rolled back and my understanding is that people will now be arrested and given the choice of six months in jail or get treatment. That issue has been the big headliner. Aside from that, the politics are actually pretty middle-of-the-road because you have most of the local Southern Oregon (city & county) governments are much more conservative than the state government.

    I was surprised by your obvious conservative religious values. Very similar to the values I'm trying to get away from in Texas. The fact you noted a preference for ONLY binary gender bathrooms, etc. Was a RED FLAG. Just say'n.

      That's totally okay. Southern Oregon is full of people who care more about the character of others than their political opinions. We are fortunate to be in an area where friendships and relationships transcend political differences. Kind of like the way it used to be...but I know that may not be what some folks are looking for and that's okay too.
