Way OT - feedback on Klamath Falls, good place to live or not so much?

Hi

I have lived here about 36 years.  I love it.  However we do have rain in the winter--and once in awhile a little snow. There are quite a few grey cloudy days.  But, I don't mine them at all.  I would stay away from renting in parts of Springfield--town right new to Eugene.  Some places are OK but some are not so good.  I am giving you a site for you to check out rentals.  We do have sun in the summer and that is about 3 or 4 months long.  Nice Fall weather.

Find some you think you could afford the rent and then let me know where they are and I will tell you if it is a good area or bad area.  Job are not easy to find.  Oregon has a 9% unemployment.  So it depends on what kind of job you are looking for.

There are always more jobs in the Portland area.  If you have any interest in that area I also know a little bit about it.  I guess what I like about living in Eugene, is that it is only about 1 hourto the Oregon Coast, and about 1 hour to the mountains.  And about 2 hours to Portland if you want to go to the Bigger City.  I love Portland, and both my kids live in Portland.

Here is another site to check out too.  Let me know if I can help in any other way.  http://www.eugene-or.gov/portal/server.pt

I think KF was his choice because he thought the snow was not so prevelent there!  AHA!  :}

Thanks for your good information.  I really appreciate it!

Oh wow... if he wants less snow, just go over the pass to Medford or Phoenix.  You'll still be centrally located, still have a bit of the small town feel.  Great Southern Oregon feel.  I actually live in Salem/Keizer area.  If I were going to relocate in Oregon (and didn't have family in the Northern Oregon area), I would probably move to Medford.  Medford also has a slightly bigger airport and there may be more job-availability in your husbands field if he would like to continue in that area. 

p.s. - as a WLS patient, Medford has a more experienced well rounded medical community including WLS at Rogue Valley Hospital.
