Subject: Re: Jeremy Siegel's best chart
Bend, Oregon. I've watched it go from 20,000 to 110,000. The town still makes a disturbing number of "best of" lists. A common bumper sicker is "Bend sucks, don't move here". That said, we drove 20 minutes to ski a few runs yesterday, came back and had lunch outside on the deck, and watched beavers crawl up onto the lawn at dinnertime. I went mountain biking, paddling, and fly fishing right from my house this week, which is walking distance of a trendy downtown. There is a huge amount of investment and building going on, and I have to wonder if it is being over-built, but it is still relatively small compared to the bigger cities, so a little influx makes a big impact.
