I don’t want to ask you to reveal your hometown to a stranger but am curious to learn more, especially after spending a year living in the French alps (Isère). Is there a list of quiet mountain towns in Oregon/CA/etc that would include yours?
- solipsism 5y agoGonna guess... Bend, OR?
- lotsofpulp 5y agoBend has 100k people, and the Bend metro area has 200k people. If it used to be considered quiet, it most certainly isn’t now.
- davidw 5y agoThe legitimately difficult thing that Bend has gone through is very rapid growth/change. It had like 20K people 30 years ago. That's not easy, and I do feel for people who miss the smaller size. That said, there are tons of small towns that are not growing - indeed, they're kind of stagnant, population-wise . Lakeview, Oregon had its heyday in the 1960ies in terms of the population.
