Living In Bandon Oregon [Pros and Cons] 

We already have too many California dickheads here. The producers of this infomercial are real estate operators. This is why our properties are no longer affordable for those who are long established here. If you are bringing money in from outside, that's one thing. If you have to make a living here expect low wages and limited opportunity. This infomercial is targeting those with money. Don't expect a warm and cheerful welcome.......

This is awesome info - thanks for adding and thanks for watching!

Thanks for adding these thoughts! The isolation/airport/fire comments are more in reference to the entire southern 3rd of the coast. OTH services flights to SF and Denver only I believe. Good call about the wind. 580K currently. Thanks for watching!

Gorse was a headache when I lived there over 50 years ago. My understanding is some Scott planted it because it reminded him of his home country. Even when I was there, attemps were being made to get rid of it....interesting it is still considered problematic.

Weather and sandy soil have a lot to do with the landscaping, some things don’t grow and others grow uncontrollably. Many people don’t live in Bandon full time so, rocks don’t need to be watered or mowed.

Like many other coastal towns Bandon didn't really exist before the 50s and remained a vacation town where people built cheap vacation homes but as much as that might apply to several other small coastal towns abandon Brandon suffered a great fire that wiped out everything with exception to a couple of structures. If you look up Bandon Oregon or historical fire you'll see the details and the timeline I don't recall exactly what it was but I do recall it was due to a plant called gorse. It has a high alcohol content in the green spiny leaves that burned very rapidly and very hot it's not a native plant and it is very very hardy, grows well in sandy soil and spreads very rapidly. Because of its very sharp needle-like points on the leaves it's very difficult to manage. I lived in Bandon for two-and-a-half years and managed the Table Rock Motel while also refurbishing one room at a time and taking care of all the maintenance, which was a good job to have following a divorce. In an excellent town to be stuck in after a divorce where the winter allows for lots and lots of thinking contemplating a much different future than anticipated. As for the houses and their brand appearances the majority we're built in the sixties and seventies intended to be use for vacations and vacation rentals I'm sure. Second homes are often built on a budget and following the fires I'm sure there were lots of people on a budget especially if they didn't have fire insurance

No shit.....This isn't even funny anymore......I make a point of being rude to Californians.

It is for people who are selling a home for 4 or 5 million and buying cheaper. Bandon City Council is loaded up with assholes who played this game.....It's their town now......
