This "liberal" paradise is an over priced tourist trap. Property value is way over priced and the college students are snobs.
The town drove off many of it's poor population out who now reside in Talent, Oregon.
Culturally this town "prides itself as hippy" far from it. It is a stuck up snob town.
There are few things to do here. I do happen to like some of the parks. But the drawbacks make it not worthwhile living there.
Ashland gets a general grade of C. God I know this town can do better!
