#6 The annual wildfire smoke is no joke and one of the major negatives about living here.

I've lived in GP my whole life, I've always loved the fact that I could just go on a drive for a few hours and either see something I've never seen before on a backroad, or just see the beautiful sights. 2 hours from California, 2 hours from the coast, 2 hours from Autzen stadium, etc. Also, subscribed. The wife and I just bought our first house almost a year ago, but next time we are in the market I will definitely suggest you guys.

Dude same bro I'm 33 and have lived in GP since 11 for the most part. The 3 rivers so close to us makes the summers so fun if you like rafting or just river time on the illys or the Applegate but the rogue is great for rafting.

We love the rogue valley

You didn't mention the homeless problem. Show some videos of outside of shopping centers or the Greenway.

its almost like people should stop voting against shelters that would help the homeless 🤔

Overall a good overview. Persons moving to Josephine County should be advised that law enforcement outside Grants Pass (the only incorporated municipality in the county) is extremely limited. The property tax rate is one of the lowest in the state (always vying with Curry County for the lowest), but the cost of that "savings" can be astronomical if you are the victim of a property crime or some types of violent crime. There is essentially zero enforcement for these crimes, and you will get zero investigation, no matter how much your loss is. I did investigations in this county for over thirty years. Be forewarned: if you live in the county, you are on your own.

My family of 6 and I intend on relocating to Southern Oregon in roughly 2 years time. Can't wait!

Always loved southern Oregon when visiting family. Hoping to move there in the next few years. I do hear there is a big problem with crime and homelessness, hope it's not as bad as some videos make it out to be

It's worse then they make it out to be, the homeless have more rights than homeowners do.

Rural=learn fire abatement& rules of engagement, with wildlife!

Also the pay for jobs around here is abysmal. Don’t plan on making more than $18 an hour. Also rent costs as much as it does in Portland. A 1 bedroom apartment is gonna run ya $1200 a month in Medford, $2400 in ashland. Cost of living is not affordable here anymore and employers are not paying. Also, the homeless are a huge issue. You can’t go to parks or enjoy the greenway. It’s no different in grants pass to ashland. Folks are getting stabbed, robbed, and otherwise assaulted on the daily. Moved here 10 years ago and I would honestly rethink that move knowing what I do now. Stick to central or northern Oregon if you’re moving out this way.

Marijuana is legal: along with everything else, so careful whom you rent to!😅🤣😂

What about access to medical services?

Is there apartment in Brookings, Oregon

I'd never use a realtor who pushes animal cruelty.

#6 the Marijuana harvest in the fall will ruin you fall drive, it's horrible. KZread homeless in Portland and Medford. Be careful they could put a tiny homeless camp in your neighborhood.

To many people don’t move here!
