Thanks for the link. I missed when they talked about the article on the local news last night. I didn't think it was a very a good article. Bend the new Boulder? (I lived in Boulder for several years, many years ago - Bend today reminds me of what Boulder was like thirty-five years ago. They are no longer very similar). The article mentioned three of the more expensive neighborhoods to live in - and one of them, Pronghorn, isn't even in Bend and is a "destination resort". I got the feeling the writer has never visited here.

Link wouldn't open, couldn't copy and paste it, the Google page for USA Today, Bend, Oregon brings me back to city data.  |

I wouldn't call Bend the new Boulder. Economically, it's in deep trouble. The LA comment is from so many South Californians moving up. Not that it's a bad place, it's just hard to make a living or buy a house (though that will be getting easier IF you have a good job).
Bend has no university - a bit of a connection to OSU, but not a lot.
