DON'T DO IT!

Sorry, Ashland. I've lived here on and off since 2001. The prices have gone utterly berserk. The town is smoky in the summer, cold and wet in the winter, and totally sublime and gorgeous between May and July. Add to that the fact that it is absolutely riddled with irritating liberal holier-than-thou rich Boomers at every turn who sold real estate in CA and came up here to blow their wads on $9 celery juice (not an exaggeration.....see "NW Raw" for details)....since Covid the town has gone straight to hell...if you can make $14 an hour, 20 hours a week, count yourself lucky. Yes, it's pretty. But it has real, serious, unsolved problems with outrageous housing costs ($1200 for a crappy 70s studio...today I saw an ad for a new development that said "Starting at $682,500") I am SO OVER IT. You Boomers in your stupid purple fleeces can have this s***hole.
