Cost of Living in Ashland, OR

I’ve lived here for 11.5 years & been a landlord the entire time. A 1 bedroom starts at 1000, and that’s not in the city center. I have no idea why they’re saying it’s dangerous. There’s literally cops putting bike traps up to tempt people into stealing because there’s so little crime. It’s incredibly safe and welcoming to people of all races & genders.
It’s also dry, incredibly dry with forest fires in the summer so the smoke can be intense for several months. It’s not rainy at all like the weather on here states. It appears the map & hospital are linked to another Ashland not in Oregon. The photo is however of Ashland, Oregon.

Ashland is very white bread. There’s essentially no people of color or ethnicity. It’s comprised of people who took to spirituality instead of psychotherapy to work out their issues so there’s a fair amount of spiritual arrogance. There’s an infinite amount of spiritual workshops & endeavors.

The town survives off of tourism & weed. It’s often joked that there’s 3 women to every man. I don’t know if that’s accurate though it feels like it. Almost all married couples who move here divorce. It’s an incredibly healing place for women, but not a place for relationship as most remain perpetually single here. It’s the single mom capital of the US. The hospitals, at least the Asante one that owns most, are incredibly low quality. Drive to OSHU in Portland should you need a hospital.
