    It falls under "Humid Subtropical". You familiar with "Drain the Swamp"?

    Write in for the BWk. High Desert of Central Oregon. Could have bought there 15 years ago and was a stooge and didn't. Good fuckin luck now though as it's all a service economy to those who sold their LA houses in 2005.

    Although I think it would be prime area for a classy escort service. May need to retain @swaye as a consultant to do some market research in the area.

    I really like Bend / Sun River / Redmond. Still cheaper than Seattle in a lot of places around there, but you gotta be able to earn a living.

    The Bend High Desert 100 was always my favorite place to go with the dirt bikes. Flying across the desert on a dirt bike going somewhere near 100 always made my dick feel good (great).

    They definitely aren't in the ski towns of the west. Those places are a sausage fest for the most part. Guess that makes my vote a little homo, but oh well. I love the mountains above all else.

    Welp. You could have almost all of them on the Big Island. Something like 20 of the worlds 23?climates on that Island alone. You can go from Rain Forest to desert in about 15 minutes.

    I'm changing my vote to BWk now after having lived here for coming up on a year. The winters are totally mild and I will take a little bit of snow (40" on average at my house) all day long over the West Side rain. Summers can get a tad hot but temp swings overnight are great for not having to run AC constantly.

    2018 prices? Lulz. It was still cheap as fuck back then @Kaepsknee . You should see the 2021 prices.

    Man you're so right. I love the area and just did some cursory review of houses and pricing and it didn't look like much of anything of value was available. I thought maybe there might be options available in the outlying areas but I couldn't find anything on the internet at least.

    I guess I've always thought of the Bend/Black Butte area as alpine. YS, I've always thought I wanted to retire there but can't imagine spending $2mm to get what I want in a home. I'm jealous.

    It's probably best described as a transition zone from semi arid, high desert to alpine. The Ponderosa Pine only needs 10 inches of precipitation per year to grow, so even when you're in the piney woods it's still semi arid. Drive 5 or 10 mins west and now you're getting into real Alpine climate.

    Yep, if you want acreage and a view it's gonna be north of $2 million easy.

    Lots of older retired married couples. So, outside of the few Bob Krafts, doesn't seem like a target rich environment. My impression of Bend is lots of marijuana stores and not that many strip clubs. Got Starz and then?

    Growth-propelled economy in Bend. When the traffic is as bad as Issaquah, the progressives will vote in a Dow Constantine clone and it will be off-to-the-fucktardery.

    Enjoy Bend while you can. And thank God for the Redmond Airport, or life would already be hell down there.
