Review of Bend, Oregon


Pretentious Place
Star Rating - 12/6/2009
If you enjoy upitty peaple and feeling like your under some one in life this is the place to be.Outragous cost of living and the wages barely keep up.After the recenssion came,it got a little easier to make it,but before some that was a worker in the union had a struggle to make ends meet!I am now in a apartment,but for the first 2 years of living in Bend, I was forced to live with my parents without the thought of getting out on my own.This place has a saying "Poverty with a View". And if you have spent anytime here you can see it very clearly.The problem of homeless peaple is also a huge problem.Many corners coming out of stores you find them sitting and begging for money or just plane old help.Its sad is there not peaple that are crazy,they are peaple like you and I but feel on really hard times.This is a depressing place to be and a bit lonely for anyone that doesn't have family here to rely on or just to be there for.
