Bend is Dead.
Long live the 'Experience.'
We remember when the Westside was a neighborhood, not an Airbnb portfolio...
The stats don't lie, but they sure do hurt:
The Wall of Shame: Bend
"I moved here for the 'access', but now I spend 45 minutes in traffic just to get to the trailhead."
"I paid $800k for a house that shares a wall with a short-term rental occupied by 12 bachelor party attendees every weekend."
"The local 'vibes' are now just $9 craft beers served in a garage and a $25 parking fee at the mountain."
"People move here for 'nature', then complain when a deer eats their $4,000 xeriscaped lawn."
"If I see one more 'Work from anywhere' sticker on a $90k Sprinter van blocking the only bike lane, I'm losing it."
"Bend is just a summer camp for people who retired at 34 from tech firms in California."
