Don't know what you are talking about - 11/19/2007
I currently live in San Diego, and am looking to leave for many of the same reasons of comments I find on this site. High cost of living, housing, drugs, etc... However, I have to laugh. I see so many complaints about how the cost of houses are so high in Medford and how insanely high $300,000/house is, or how expensive it is to live there. LOL.. Try living in San Diego a month.. Just one month... At an average house price of $750,000, Apartments at minimum of $1500/mo., fast paced environment, population of 2,000,000, and a tax rate of 8% . I will take a median $300,000, and a pop. of 25,000 any Read More

Medford...not the worst.... - 8/20/2007
...and not the best. Nice climate, a little hot in summer, not enough snow in the winter. Plenty of outdoor recreation. Problem is that it seems like it's becoming somewhat of a retirement community, kind of an average place to live but very low wages and high rents. Makes no sense. You would think by the high cost of living that you were somewhere sweet like Hawaii but it's not even a resort Read More

Think you'll save on taxes, think again.... - 6/28/2007
When we moved here 17 years ago we thought we had it made. We built a nice house and we both got decent jobs. It's really nice here, but the cost of living is really high. Wages are not good. The property and income tax bills are outrageous. Not only do you have to have a lot of money when you come here, you have to make a lot to stay here. It's worth it if you can do it, Read More

We just closed our libraries in April 07. - 5/9/2007
It sounds pretty dire to say that all the libraries in Jackson County Oregon have been closed, but it is true. We are voting on it next week, and if it passes it will mean an extra 66 cents per thousand in property taxes. For us it will cost $150 dollars per year more. I don't know how it even got to this point, but we'll see how it goes. Its hard to see how Medford got to #34 in light of this.

Come back to Phoenix. We live in Chandler. We have lived here of and on since 1984. Boy! had it changed. You can take over our lease on a 2bd/2bth patio home ($975) and we'll rent your place.
