    It's not a secret, poverty with a view is because the wealth here is not from here, it is moving in here and driving up the cost of housing and living. Many of the people moving in are wealthy and can afford to pay beyond what a living wage in Bend can provide. Industry is not booming here and working class don't have a chance. It's hard to find a good paying job for the majority of the working class people to support them financially here and they just can't compete.
