I’ve lived here my whole life...

I’ve lived in Medford my entire life. I now have 2 children of my own and Medford is nothing like it was growing up. There are transients and people strung out on drugs EVERYWHERE. My kids can’t go to the park. The parks are flooded with homelessness. There is trash all over the streets and under bridges. The bike paths aren’t safe. The crime rate is through the roof. Theft is so bad people will scope out our house in broad daylight with us right there. It’s sad. It is a beautiful area with lots of mountains and lakes - but it’s a boring town with a lot of drugs and high crime rate. I’m sad to see my hometown turn into what it has.
