A Troubling phenom in paradise - 9/17/2020
I have lived here for 20 years coming from the NY east coast area. This is a lot better in Summer as reflected in the rents which are out of this world -- $200 per night!. The winters come on earlier often, I remember snow flurries on the last day of September. It can be dreary from November to January. Usually February lightens up a bit but the winters can be overcast yet milder than the North East. However as it is wet all the time in winter, you are apt to get just as uncomfortable even though you rarely get a week below 20 degrees. The lack of sunshine due

Troubling Trends... - 4/5/2008
Sometimes it feels like one of the Worst Places in the country to do business... People from East Portland like to come out and rob buildings. There is an organized movement to make it a Mexican "Harbor" city, as if they need more. This will certainly drive down wages for an already over represented blue collar labor force.There are irresponsible business owners here, whose parents gave them the means but not the ways. Not as educate as is reported. An okay place to visit, I'd

What else besides recreation and weather? - 3/21/2007
I've visited HR several times and agree that the recreation is awesome and the climate warmer and dryer than cities near but east of it. I've thought about living there, but for such a small town with limited ways to earn a living I find the housing to be almost as expensive as Portland and Vancouver. Can anyone elxplain how real estate prices got so inflated?
On the subject of retail and service businesses, I know it's a small town and choices in goods and services will be expectedly limited, but I can't figure out why a community like this, whose restaurants proactively and proudly support local, organic growers, doesn't have a natural market or coop where abundant produce, meats and dry goods can be purchased. Even the farmers market is curiously small and devoid of organic items. Can anyone shed some light on this mystery?
Just trying to figure this place out. HR seems to appeal to the simpler, active, earth-conscious person, yet at the same time, the
