      Bend was a sweet little town 40+ years ago and the sports (biking, skiing, fishing…) were accessible to pretty much anyone who could carve out a little recreation time. Now the sports have price tags that start at $5000 each. The area is now populated by those who participate in the sports and those who serve those who participate. The latter can’t participate. They don’t have enough money.
