The coast struggles with health care. Air lifts are common place, 15-25 mile drives to a doctor, dentist or hospital is not unusual. There are waiting lines for physicians and shortages. It is, no joke, a hard place to live. It is beautiful but most dangerous places are. People often aren't the healthiest, dental issues everywhere. You have to love the outdoors. If you're retired, you can't afford the places showcased. Few veterinary options, rain makes pets miserable, can be hard on a house. Hard place to live, no joking around.

can I buy 1/2 an acre and live in my van in Coos , Charleston area ? just a van on a lot. just need a consistent secured parking spot.

Fun drinking game, take a drink every time he says "oregon coast" good luck! don't drink and drive.

Cannon Beach #1 🎉

400k+ is affordable??

What are the best towns on the coast to escape the tsunami in an earthquake?

One thing to look at is crime on the coast. Check out police services and the distances covered. What are the theft, drug, and violence rates.

Local here. I tell people to visit, but to never live here. As health is my number 1 concern, I have conditions like post-nasal drip that require long drives. Allergies are another, but I have yet to start the allergy test; despite telling my doctor multiple times and getting the flank shot. I was also bullied badly in school there. When I met a 19 year old drop out, they said their reason for dropping out was from bullying. I should being up that most people here are MAGAts. It's worse if you are part of the nerd culture. There is barely anything for us and the local nerd shop is ran by a horrible person. If you are neurodivergent, dealing with some physical ailments, raising kids, or classify as a nerd, don't live here. Brookings is like Hotel California; You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave.

what are the real estate and rental prices in Oceanside?

1/4 -1 acre raw land in that region.

they are building coos port , more railroad, new homes.

I lived in Florence for a few years. I was like 3 miles from town, connected to the river, but we were told to evacuate if sirens were heard..

All the out of state buyerss who only live here part-time have inflated the cost of homes.

I did that hike a few months ago and it was muddy back then. I can't imagine what it looks like now but it's definitely worth it. Such a pristine area with some nice views!

The choice to live in an area where there may be a substantial natural disaster is all about education and choice--it should be, anyway. The 9.1 magnitude earthquake in Japan in 2011 and the tsunami that followed provide a good example of what life would be like during and after the quake and tsunami. When that kind of quake hits, there is a strong likelihood that the roads will become impassable--trees in the road, debris from fallen houses in the road, possibly wide fissures in the road, burst water and gas pipes, and so on--so one might not be able to simply get in their car and drive to the nearest high point. So if you have to walk or run, consider running or walking from wherever you are to the highest ground. Can you make it before the tsunami arrives? Take Lincoln City, which is an absolutely wonderful place with great beaches and a significant and generally flat to gentle slop to the eastside of Highway 101. Can you get from the beach or a hotel or home from near the beach to the other side of 101 on foot before the resulting tsunami hits? Let us say yes. Yes you and your loved one(s) can and do make it to high ground either afoot or by some great chance via automobile. What happens next? With a 9.0 earthquake, will there be running water? Will the sewer systems work? Will all of the bridges still be in place so that supplies can be brought to the coastal area? Will the mountain roads be passable? Read what happened in Japan in 2011 or Alaska in 1964 and you will get an idea of the utter devastation that may occur with such a quake on the Oregon coast. If the damage is similar to that seen in Alaska or Japan, you might go days or weeks without any support from the "outside" world. Thus, your "boogie bag" better be equipped with food and water because if the bridges are out, the mountain roads are close, and the tsunami has wrecked the wharfs and bays, how will supplies--food, shelter, medicine, and so on--make it to the stranded and unhoused? What if all of this happens at night and in the winter? All of this applies to vacationers and residents alike. Support will appear and people will eventually be evacuated. But for those residents who own homes, what happens next? Again, study past quakes and tsunamis and you will see that rebuilding in the best of situations takes time and it takes a lot of money. If the "big one" really happens, the damage will be both catastrophic and astronomically expensive. Do you have the resources to keep paying your mortgage and also live somewhere else? If not, are you alright with living in a FEMA trailer in Bend, Oregon or some other out of the way place because your home area (even if your home is still standing and livable), will be a disaster area with no running water, no sewer treatment, no passable streets, no regular supplies, no hospitals, and so on. In sum, it may be uninhabitable for some unknown period of time. Study the history of "big one" earthquakes and tsunamis, consider that the same may happen along the Washington, Oregon, and California coasts, and then make your decision. I have only visited the Oregon coast, but I can say that it is absolutely wonderful place to be--especially Lincoln City. Because I can still kind of jog and probably could run kind of fast with Poseidon breathing down my neck, and I would do so as soon as the ground started shaking, the quake and tsunami might be a bearable and miserable risk worth taking--after all, the gobment would eventually evacuate my family and me back to "solid ground." The post-quake and post-tsunami apocalypse that would follow (as noted above), however, gives me pause to owning a home in the area. For many, no doubt they will figure that the Cascadia Subduction Zone just needs to hold out long enough for them to enjoy their time on the coast and then who cares afterward--it has, after all, been 324 years since the last "big one." Surely it can hold on another couple or few decades?! Perhaps. And if that is your optimistic spirit, good for you! There is nothing wrong with optimism mixed with education. That is what makes me comfortable traveling to the Oregon coast to enjoy the natural beauty that it has to offer.

Pretty amazed you could t answer your own question before doing this video. Talk with Oregon university experts then make your video with some facts!

Speaking of hazards...Theres a real nice looking property for 650k out in north newport. Looked way under valued till you notice that the erosion scarp appears to only be a few feet from the back corner of foundation. No visible vegetation growth on the slope (or very little which generally means it is actively moving). Whoever bought that place didnt do their geologic homework😅

Dont care. Im moving there no matter what

that's why we make all the poor people live there ha ha ha

They put out all those fake stats just to keep everyone scared. "A 37% chance of a 7 magnitude earthquake off the coast of Oregon in the next 50 years". What a bunch of stupid made up nonsense.

ODOT privately expects the bridges on 101 no longer being functional (at best).

Hey Seth, great video. We are still working towards moving up to the Oregon Coast. Things are moving slowly, but we will get up there. Depot Bay is my 1st choice, but Wendi is wanting to check out the North Coast around Astoria or Cannon Beach. I would just have to find a larger greenhouse 😊.

I appreciate the content and context. As mid-westerners that plan on retiring to the coast (yes, we'll be contacting you and Paul when we get ready. :) ) We appreciate ALL the information that you provide. Thanks again for the content!

That was fun, Seth. Thanks. Beautiful place. I bet there are a lot more people out there hiking in the summer.

We just had a deer in our back yard and a bear sighting elsewhere in shelter cove this year.

There is a bus in Florence. It’s run by Lane County I believe.

Another great and very informative video Seth...😉🥾✌️

We caught 1,000 crabs in 4 days from this very dock (8:32) during September/October 2024, using only one crab cage. Out of those 1,000 crabs we didn't catch one "keeper".

I’m thinking of moving to Park View assisted living. I’m in a wheelchair can I get to the ocean? Is there a church and grocery store?

OHP Oregon Healthcare Plan is the best healthcare I’ve ever had. I only need one prescription but that was an expensive ordeals 1995-2005 I paid more for Healthcare than our house cost in San Diego in 1985.

1:12 PM Sunday - I am really enjoying your efforts on the videos. Love the coast, may move there someday (live in the valley) but Lincoln City is my target. Though I'm familiar with the area, you did a stellar job of presenting the area, its history, neighborhood layout and other matters for consideration for a relocation or even to just make a visit more productive. Thank you!

did you really say anything,,, repeat,,repeat,,, repeat ,,,

how is the weather heavy snow fall or rain fall per year? if fog is everyday? compare it to colorado?

Good discussion but I'd suggest less map movement. Very hard to follow. Move your cursor as much as you like but leave the map alone. I'm dizzy!

9:34 into the video..ans this guy's still babbling along without any real information. Dude just post the facts..jezz..

Isn’t the number of visitors a big factor? Let’s say a town has a population of 1,000, but there are 1,000 tourists. You might have an average amount of crime for 2,000 people, but you would calculate it per capita (1,000 residents), so the stats look twice as bad as they are.

Well you sure avoided that whole issue . Never ask a realtor a question .

I lived homeless on the Oregon coast for years. I'd never felt safer anywhere in my life. On America's east coast, everyone's mind controlled and has blood all over their hands. The land is sick and dying, and so are its inhabitants. On oregons coast, you feel alive and well away from all the deranged mind controlled psychopaths on the east coast. Its 1,000 times safer on the west coast than on mind controlled enslaved east coast of pedostan. So many nazi scientists and covid mass murderers and human rights violating experimenting nazi doctor's on the east coast. Move west ya'll. Its so much better.

Safer than So,Cal.

I lived in Brookings late 2001/early 2002 when i was in high school. I loved the place itself, it was beautiful, and the weather was always perfect. But the people i interacted with were terrible. I was kicked out of school for literally eating lunch by myself, and was sent to the AYA where the students did nothing all day except talk about drugs and spewing racism. I hope it's gotten better since then.

Oxenfre is a bar

Great video

Really enjoyed watching the beautiful waves as you were talking in this video! The part with the gull in the background might make a great still shot for you! Thanks for sharing!

Could you go into more detail about the types of medical facilities available in Coos Bay? Thinking of moving to the area and dragging the whole crew with me lol. My brother did recently get a cancer diagnosis but it is in remission. However if it came back again it would be concerning if there wasn’t facilities that could work for long term care there should he need it. I am also in the VA system myself and haven’t been able to get an idea of what the VA medical facilities are like down there and how long it may take to get in to see a doctor. Currently assigned to a physician in Lincoln City because Newport is full so it’s quite the drive for me from Waldport and hoping for a better experience down there but have no idea how big the facility is there. Kinda difficult to see how big the clinic is from the one image I have seen on the website.

Looked at Zillow, the properties are overpriced, $1M doesn't get you much.

Wow you do not take feedback. Join the local theater group. Unsubscribing now.

Dude! Thank you for the info, but we don’t want to see you, we’re here to see and learn about the Oregon coast. Turn the camera around.

Minus the distracting " music"..😅..that was quite thourough & a pretty darn good video. 👍🏼

Please put the name of the town so that we can fast-forward, we can’t see anything that’s happening and therefore you won’t get as many views😮
