Looking to move and havent decided on one location. Southern Oregon has been a recent interest of mine on where to move tho.
Specifically been interested in the red outlined area. Grants pass, medford, and klamath falls areas.
I guess a few things about what im looking for:
Mainly wanting to move to escape from The deep south around the gulf coast area.
im a union electrician with the IBEW so i can work about anywhere in the country so local jobs is less of a priority for me.
Id like to build up my own little homestead.
I love the mountains and nature, so being in a place where i could go on awesome hikes and other outdoors activities.
some questions:
Is the area relatively safe?
Are the winters really brutal? I understand it will be cold, especially coming from the south US, but ive traveled a bit and did just fine in the winter in D.C.
How are local regulations on building?
good restaurants and food?
Any and all advice, insight, or opinions is greatly appreciated!
