1:10 bust out the solar panels because when it is not busy raining it is a good place to get power from the sun. I use portable panels, but people mount them on their houses for the same reason. You get good solar power here.

9:50 as a local who’s grown up here I’ve gotten around the different areas of town and I have to say I do love the way some of these places look. Like some of these buildings are really cool. I used to get impressed by the architecture when I was a youngster.

Very well-done video! Questions:
1) air quality: I've read many reports about poor air quality due to forest fires.
2) what is the wildfire risk in Medford and surrounding villages?
3) mosquitos: how bad is it in the mountains and generally on trails?

[danaism]

Fire smoke for long periods of time and they are progressing year after year.

It is called a international airport because they made the runway longer to allow bigger jets to land. One time the President of the United States landed here in Air Force One.

I love Southern Oregon. However, my kids have been priced out of the area. It became unaffordable for the locals who have roots there thanks to all the California transplants.

[LadyBug-LoLing]

Hello, I'm in Medford, Or …I could not ever imagine any place else.. Unless it is the Blue mountains, Glad to be here thank you..

[MickJay]

Great review! Been watching these for a while and started getting nervous of my decision to come work/live there (working in Ashland but living in Medford) until I saw your outlook. I plan on texting that number provided but in case other people have similar Q’s please answer whatever you’re comfortable with:
-In my 30’s and looking for community
-Looking for a local church (preferably one that preaches with apologetics/hermeneutics)
-Intramural/club sports and their links
-Youngish/conservative-ish bars, night life, activities (if that even exists)
-Any thoughts on the Steward Meadows rental facility/location

Growing up in Klamath Falls, where it was much colder than medford, it was a real treat going over to Medford, checking into a motel that had a swimming pool, and going to a great outdoor mall they have there.

Southwestern Oregon is alright for me, and I'm only temporarily living here for college until June of this year when I graduate. I vastly prefer the entire coast and Northwestern Oregon. I prefer the nature and towns over there.

It’s an International Airport mainly for cargo and the ability to get freight in and out of customs. The airport is surrounded by duty-free zones. Going through customs here is a mush easier prospect than PDX or SEATAC or SFO.

Eugene is absolutely beautiful! Definitely worth checking out.

[TheSocalHandyman]

Thanks for the info. My wife and I drove thru there in 2015. We loved it. But, work keeps me here. How is the growth in the home repairs side?

[elk]

Very imformative. Thanks. Live in Brookings and travel to the area on a frequent basis for medical.

[ImVerySerious]

Shared this to my Facebook page. Thanks:)

[janettaylor]

I really think my husband and I would like to live here. Your airport seems convenient and all the beauty around is really what we want. thanks for the great video

[TorchedCustomWoodCreations]

Hmm I might do one of those Oregon Flags 🤔

[herbchilds]

The biggest problem in Medford right now is that they are filling up all the remaining green, open spaces with
clunky, boring, ugly apartment blocks. Or hideous, unneeded strip malls, like that McAndrews/Springbrook atrocity.
Who on the Planning Board got paid off to approve that? Everybody I know is boycotting that place.

[timothycsauer]

Hay dude, one of the reasons it's so nice here is it's not a well-known area of the US. Stop trying to destroy the Rogue Valley!
