Review of Bend, Oregon


Drugs. Homeless. Self absorbed elites!
Star Rating - 4/15/2021
If you read a positive review of Bend, it’s likely from a realtor, which there are a TON of here. Bend is not all that, but the government and real estate industry here is tight. Drives up prices of homes to an unaffordable level where the only people that can afford them are from Portland or out of state. Like California, the land is beautiful. Like California, government has ruined the area. Homeless people everywhere, drug use galore. Can’t take a drive without smelling burning cannabis. I live in a rental that has a Zestimate of $550k on the west side and I can’t leave my windows open cause it’s like reefer madness outside.

Oh my god, burning cannabis! The horrors! You can always return to MI. Don't let the door hit you on the way out.
