My family lived on a small farm in Glendale for 10 Yrs. All was well until the Oregon Government got into the pot business. Both farms around me were sold to pot growers, who were ex-falons from California. I called he sheriff more then seven times regarding crimes occurring, yet they never responded. The growers ran me off the road once, and shot out the rear window of my truck once, yet no law enforcement ever responded. We sold the farm, to a drug dealer, for half the recorded value. My wife was raised in Cave Junction. It was a drug city way back in the 60's. In one year there were 7 unsolved murders, one being a relative. Your lecture was spot on, thank you.

White City used to be sketchy and trailer park city, but is starting to clean up because east Medford is so expensive. Gold Hill is just poor, but still fun.

Most agents don't warn people about this kind of thing. I've lived in Southern Oregon since 1976. West Medford and White City are crime hubs. Williams and Wolf Creek and a few other places are chock full of hippies and pot farms. Sam's Valley is dry and has one store. There are beautiful places here but there's places i wouldn't buy property.

Yeah, let's continue to bash West Medford. Honestly the "bad" pockets are relatively few and far between. If the city would stop dumping on us and allowing organizations like the Gospel Mission to be located across the street from a school, the number of bad apples would decrease significantly. But hey, most folks throughout Medford including the city council like to manifest this area as the "ghetto" of Medford. The potential here is amazing, and most given streets in West Medford could be transplanted to the railroad district in Ashland and they would fit in. There's actually worse pockets with more crime on the "East Side." It would be cool if folks would stop with the lies about the West Side, and help us realize the true potential of a historical part of town.

One note should be made if even visiting Cave Junction, Selma areas: Do NOT just go trekking back in the forest. Illegal pot grows back there & you might not be receiving a warm welcome (if you come back). White City (Camp White) was/is called Tube City by Sheriffs Dept due to long time homeless camp living in concrete tubes. Crime crime crime. I now own 6 acres in Hildebrand, Oregon.

We lived in Williams for two years and got out. Rough area with all the illegal pot grown and many people that don’t care in the area mattresses and furniture just dumped along side the highway.

Sick of the homeless people all over yes, but still better than GP or Medford. All our funds get sent to GP.

I'm happy to discuss any specific point you're referring to, but I think a blanket statement that the local governments are the sole cause of the issues is just flat out wrong. For example, the City of Medford is responsible for both East and West Medford. Both very different. The Josephine County residents voted down the levys to fund the sheriff's department, not the other way around. Is there a specific system you're referring to that is failing and causing these issues?

@@BuyingSouthernOregon I don't think it's the JoCo residents that voted down the levys to fund the sheriff's department.

There's incredible natural beauty, but as you mentioned local support for basic municipal services has clearly reduced safety and general quality of life for most.

Plaisance Ranch & Winery right here in town, grass fed beef, wine and music in the summer. Hiking trails to the top of Grayback mountain if you got the legs built for that.

Good luck, everything that has water the growers have bought up, price unseen, you live outside city limits, it takes 45 to 1 hour and a half for law enforcement to show up, I've been here since 73, Medford growing so fast the Planning department can't get the traffic where it's not bottle neck.

@BuyingSouthernOregon 9 месяцев назад

Thank you for your comment. Medford isn't perfect, but where is? I've been happy to see a lot of the properties with water rights coming back on the market at much more reasonable prices since the bottom fell out of the cannabis industry.

Easy on the pot industry guy, That’s not the problem. Just come out and say it. These shitty areas are where the meth labs are at. That’s the problem with southern Oregon. Meth labs. Did you even mention that once? What about the fentanyl epidemic?

@BuyingSouthernOregon 10 месяцев назад

I can't find any data that shows meth labs are a problem. If you know of some, please share.

Funny he barely mentioned any place really nice to live here in So. Oregon. Actually most of the states politicians are from California/Washingson and have been here for decades ripping off anybody and everybody by playing both sides of the table. They're All Enablers.

White City is not a city. It is in the Jackson County. White City is mostly industrial area. I helped Amy's Kitchen Inc to relocate to White City from Santa Rosa CA back in 2006. Wolf Creek, Sams Valley, Glendale, Cave Junction are considered 'rural'. Since the hospital was built in Grants Pass, many California retired folks moved there as real estate i.e. house prices were relative cheap! Grants Pass has the rich who likes to live by the Rogue River and then the poor then the homeless who camps at the park. I am a commercial real estate expert as a seasoned CCIM that I always ask 'What is the economic base of that town?"

@BuyingSouthernOregon 6 месяцев назад

I'm curious what part you think is misleading? I said it's off the beaten path, which it is. I said it's a town that was once in better shape than it is today, which is true. I'm not sure what I said that was misleading. I completely understand if you love the town, and I'm sure there are a lot of people who do, but that doesn't mean what I said is misleading.

So, I’m wondering why one would use the city scape of an oregon town that lies in the middle of the willamette valley (Eugene) as the thumbnail to describe the worst parts of “southern” oregon. The background pic is clearly that of Eugene (facing south from most likely the top of skinners butte) but this video talks about areas around Medford which is 2.5-3 hours south of Eugene.

@michaelmahoney4889 Месяц назад

Just keep bad mouthing, SO. It keeps retired Californians like me out. I think most people here are happy , caring, and poor because this area has had a rough history.The pot and timber industries are both controlled by the government, so I'm not surprise to see problems and impovished workers. The real estate financial complex would love to gentrify all of SO to make higher commissions. I get it looking out for number one is the 'merican motto. Bad mouthing our towns to get a cop tax passed forces the spiral downward and hurts the least the most. Balancing resources with needs is the solution. Business, education, courts, banking and labor have got to work together to raise the worth of everybody and give them pride in a place they can own and keep.

Born and raised in oregon. Hes telling the truth. But it isnt cheap and local income does not match the median rent. Moving to oregon may be out of reach because of rising prices on homes and insurance from fire risk. This area is quickly becoming too expensive to live in for the young people taking care of the retirement community here. If you have teenagers or kids, consider the probability that they will not be able to move out on their own income out here. Being honest, even if you are thinking its cheaper, it isnt, the cost of living is higher than employers are willing to pay.

@matdddd 9 месяцев назад

The worst parts about Southern Oregon, are the gas prices, and that cost-of-living got inflated huge by the green rush, all the people coming up here to grow weed

@BuyingSouthernOregon 9 месяцев назад

The hippies who migrated into the area to grow pot and live in their vans are inflating the cost of living? 🤔 Hmmm not sure if that one adds up, but I'm totally open to any verifiable data you have that supports your theory...

Grew up in sams valley. Very dry, little water out there. Property overpriced, and takes 40 minutes to get to medford downtown. Traffic into town is nuts. Locals that were born in Southern Oregon keep being pushed out by the high cost of living Wealthy come in, buy up large tracks of land and build their mcmansion. Driving up everyones property taxes. Many locals cant stay once they graduate high school. Bend oregon is even worse with the gentrification, and ex California millionaires. If you are well off, move to lake Oswego. They will except you, and you wont run off the youth.
