All of my neighbors are born and raised here.

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. Cave Junction is just depressing and stuck in the 80s, and not in a good way. Agreed, Cave Junction/Illinois Valley has always been "Pot Central".

You can blame much of SoOregon's problems on unrestricted landlord abuse of property. Landlords refuse to keep up their property in SoOregon, and WAAAAY too many rentals. Towns should fine landlords for letting their properties become dilapidated.

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, 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.

A lot of people that live in these rural areas want that life, we were sick of the city life.

Sick of the homeless people all over yes, but still better than GP or Medford. All our funds get sent to GP. And please, if you’re going to recommend places to eat there’s lots of others besides Taylor’s which in and of itself has been an eyesore to our community for two years due to their continuing construction. There’s The Replay, River Valley Restaurant, two pizza places, and Gimmies, plus others besides the mediocre Taylor’s and Carlos’.

People can get their knickers in a twist, but your assessment is spot on. What these naysayers aren't taking into consideration is you're in real estate. 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.

I was attracted to Southern Oregon over 30 years ago by Roy Masters, and was absolutely thrilled to live there for a good 25 years.

Went back to do Union work at the new water park about 1 year ago & was surprised that the city got worse with drugs & homeless. 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. Love it Anyways...video is spot on & accurate

Have lived in Medford since 2009 on the East side and agree with you're depiction of the area. On the negative side, I would add that the poorly located airport / planes landing + flying overhead greatly affect the livability of some sections of Medford. On the positive side - traffic (while getting heavier) is still pretty darn good / easy to get to all parts of Southern Oregon.

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.

This is not constructive criticism. This is damaging to those that are trying change things. These types of remarks send areas backward. The REAL reason for the decline in these areas are the system in the local governments that are failing.

I count my blessings to have grown up in Southern Oregon, but when I return now to visit family I'm a bit disappointed. 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.

Ace hardware and Hidden Valley market are 12 miles away in Murphy. The Apple Gate valley is 6 miles down the hill, just a short drive to all the wineries. 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.

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?"

I live in West Medford. I absolutely love it here. There are many secrets to surviving here. It’s not for everyone. Just because people look poor doesn’t mean they’re dangerous.

Oh just some sex slaves/trade underneath the restaurant. There’s bikers in this town that still talk about the good ole boy about doing lines off the hood of his gov rig and even have pictures to prove it.

At least the predators disappear when law enforcement can't or won't help. Drugs, "gangs," and corruption are the driving force behind the darkness in Klamath Falls. It's expanding, and I hope the good starts outweighing the bad. It's possible to live here and avoid drug, etc. drama. You just can't expect to make friends or trust too many people.

The biggest problem with Southern Oregon is that its full of California.

Truth

White City should incorporate and change its name back to Camp White. Considerable civic pride comes from its history as a major military training base. (The former Agate Desert.) There's still a big Veterans' facility there. It is now one of the biggest industrial areas in Oregon. Wood products, mainly. Unfortunately, cheap housing was thrown up in the decades after WW2.

I’m a realist and can accept no place is perfect. In Medford and Grants pass people are openly racist and say ignorant statements. It was the first place my 5 year old experienced racism from other kids. Many locals hate outsiders and can be very rude. Assholes aren’t just in California, as a mid-western manners matter. Smaller towns don’t always have friendly people. The cultural and educational resources just didn’t fit what was best for my family. Kids should grow up not having to defend their racial background or existence. And I’m white and my kids are mixed. My biggest mistake was not taking the time to check how the local culture would affect my children.

I think I may have just found my S. Oregon real estate agent who knows his stuff and will be able to help me find what we are looking for 🎉

C.J. Has a Cartel problem, a lot of crime goes unreported. Even traffickers or people and drugs. Hard drugs.

You skipped White City, Shady Cove & Butte Falls....

White City was definitely on the list. I think Shady Cove is awesome, so that wasn't even a contender. And Butte Falls has made a lot of improvements recently, so they just missed the cut.

199 to grants pass is an easy and fast commute.

Overlay a map of the “bad parts” of Oregon with a map of where Californians are concentrated and they line up perfectly.

That's hard to believe. I put some old appliances in my front yard when I moved here so nobody could tell I was from CA.

@@michaelmahoney4889 You got that backwards. Moving here and making it worse is a 100% accurate way to spot a Californian colonizer.

Selma / cave junction is pretty shady looking I went through it once .

I've lived all over the US at different times, but I wouldn't want to move to Southern Oregon. Regardless of the obvious natural beauty, everywhere I've travelled through that area, I got Severely Creepy vibes. Just something about it feels super "Murder-y".

@@BuyingSouthernOregon no offense intended! I like your vids but I have a wild story about traveling through the Klamath Falls/ Crater Lake area back in 2020. Scary and spooky stuff.

The problem is Medford’s on the wrong side of the Siskiyou national forest anything on the other side of the mountains from Coos Bay or Bandon is garbage

​@@natejohnson3016I agree about Brookings. Great town. My favorite town on the Oregon coast for sure. I didn't agree with the comment about everything on the other side of the siskiyou national forest being garbage

Even paradise can turn into hell.

I've lived in s.o since 92. I moved here from redding to w.c. and it wasn't fun being 12 moving to a rural area.. thing is eagle point and central point and white city share schools! Talk about clicks compared to anywhere. Be kind do your research and always be yourself I clicked on your video

Seems to me, low taxes is a benefit. A lot of people are suffering under the heavy hand of government these days. And people getting concealed carry licenses - what is wrong with that? I like that. Anyway, if you love cops so much, then YOU should fund them. Leave the rest of us alone. Some of us are not so thrilled at some of the shady things cops do, such as civil asset forfeiture. And guess what, there is car theft in Portland too. "If violent crime is to be curbed, it is only the intended victim who can do it. The felon does not fear the police, and he fears neither judge nor jury. Therefore what he must be taught to fear is his victim." ~~ Jeff Cooper

I don't disagree with you at all. I never said I have a problem with concealed carry, in fact I have my license. In the video, I'm just explaining the situation to viewers so they can decide if it's an area they want to live or not. Thanks for watching.

Why is anybody going to use a realtor that gets on the internet and trashes the area they're going to sell a house in

Sams Valley is really just an industrial suburb.

Gold hill has a buried train to keep the river apart. I got stuck on it diving off the old train bridge. It's close to medford. Some good bear jerkey there. Also only had 1 police officer for years White City use to be a military base. Camp white. VA is out there. White City is okay I guess Wolf creek is close kinda. Meth lab got shut down there.

No mention of Coos Bay! (WHEW)
