    yeah my understanding is that the entire area is basically wholly supported by western oregon and is a massive net drain on the state budget.

      All rural areas are massively funded by the cities. The tax revenue in the rural areas doesn’t even come close to covering the basic infrastructure of roads and utilities.

      Their community’s economies are also highly dependent on government handouts.
