Manzanita – Enclave for the Rich?

Manzanita – Enclave for the Rich?
When Manzanita’s City Manager said at a recent Budget Meeting that employees can’t live in Manzanita because the average house costs $850,000, I began to wonder about the source and whether it was accurate. That and comments by others give the impression that Manzanita is a wealthy enclave and by extension that expenses and increases in taxes and fees are of little importance to the well-to-do living here or having second homes here. I doubted that.
Tillamook County’s Assessor office sent a report to me on the Assessed Value and Real Market Value for every house and lot in Manzanita.
The report included data on 1493 residences with an average value of $799,000, a little different than the City Manager’s report.
Beyond that, averages can be deceiving. Here is a histogram of each of the housing data points for the real market value of homes in Manzanita. It shows a distribution skewed to the left with a few expensive properties bringing up the average. The standard deviation is $380,000 with 66% of houses between $420,000 and $1,180,000 and 95% between $40,000 and $1,560,000.

The median(middle) housing cost turns out to be lower still. Looking just at housing after eliminating motels and retail stores, the value of the middle house is $690,000, 20% below the $850,000 assumption. Fully one half of the houses are below that level and one half above that level. Not addressed are how long homes have been owned, the purchase price and related mortgages all of which affects the situations of homeowners.

Housing costs are one measure. Incomes are a another of Manzanita’s wellbeing.
According to Experian, GfK Mediamark Research and Intelligence LLC, Vintage 2020, Dun and Bradstreet, Applied Geographic Solutions, and Alteryx, Inc. demographic studies, the following describes City of Manzanita and Oregon incomes:

Manzanita Oregon

Household Income 2022 Est.
$0 – $15000 10.9% 8.9%
$15000 – $24999 9.0% 7.6%
$25000 – $34999 11.1% 8.1%
$35000 – $49999 15.6% 11.5%
$50000 – $74999 19.1% 19.9%
$75000 – $99999 13.6% 14.7%
$100000 – $149999 13.0% 17.1%
$150000 + 7.7% 13.8%
Average $74,171 $93,737
Median(middle) $54,081 $68,830
Per capita $54,470 $37,940

This shows that our wealthy enclave has lower incomes than Oregon as a whole and that many households are operating on tight budgets.

So with the recently passed Nehalem Bay Health District Bond measure passing, this will add 37 cents per thousand dollars of home assessment for up to the next 26 years, many households do notice the cost. Thirty seven cents sounds affordable, but most homeowners will pay $2000 -$6000 toward the assessment during the next 20 years. Voters approved it. Budgets will endure the annual 3% increase in assessed value for regular property taxes and food and energy inflation of the last two years. Many people and their household budgets notice the pinch.

The points are three:
– Manzanita residents have a broad range of incomes and housing values. We are not all the same.
– City Council should not assume increased water fees, possible new street utility fees and tax levies do not matter. They do matter and they really matter for many residents.
– If we are to be paying possible cost increases for water charges, street utility fees or a new City Hall, we deserve an opportunity to vote on the increases.

Is Manzanita an enclave of the wealthy? Hardly. We are more an enclave of the pretty much like everywhere else.
In the tight economy facing us, I wonder if the City Council will reduce expenses or staffing to offset cost increases? It does not appear so. Many citizens are dealing with tight budgets by making reductions elsewhere. Is City Council doing this? Or is it simply passing along more and more expense to its citizens?

MEET THE CREW OF ’12 ANGRY JURORS’: Julee Ward
Opens this Friday, June 2nd, in Nehalem at the NCRD

Performing Arts Center for 9 shows only!

This is Julee Ward’s 5th production with Riverbend Players and her second as Executive Producer.

12 ANGRY JURORS

Based on the award-winning movie 12 Angry Men starring Henry Fonda.

On a hot summer day after a lengthy trial, a jury must decide whether a 19-year-old man is guilty of murdering his father.

The jury votes 11-1 that the man is guilty of the crime, but the law requires a unanimous vote by all 12 jurors to pass judgment.

Tempers flare as the eleven jurors try to convince the 1 dissenter to come to their side.

However, as the evidence is re-examined, new uncertainties come to light, forcing everyone to honestly question whether there is some measure of “reasonable doubt”.

Directed by Frank Squillo.

Tickets at www.RiverbendPlayers.org.

Ready for the cyber attack?

Being prepared for major disruptive events is always smart.

We think tsunami and wildfire here.

What about war? One nuke over America from Vlad and the grid goes down.

A year’s worth of EVERYTHING you need is elemental if you expect to survive such a scenario. Clean water access, food, medicine, warm clothes, wood stove, gun for self-defense (wild animals will be killed off quickly, don’t count on hunting, and as anyone who forages for wild edibles can tell you, their ain’t enough veggies in our woods to keep you alive.), and ammo (again, self-defense).

In my view, the most likely major emergency scenario that we will face next is failure of the power grid. This will be done by the transhumanists (the new name for the Sillicon Valley tech bros that think they will merge with computers and live forever), but it will be blamed on…drum roll please…Russia.

Henry Kissinger just turned 100. Klaus Schwab is Henry’s greatest protege. The reach of his World Economic Forum is significant. The worst of the worst of the ‘covid’ fascists are members of Klaus’s (Kissinger’s) Young Global Leaders program: Jucinda Williams of New Zealand, Justin Trudeau of Canada, Jay Inslee of Washington state, Gavin Newsom of California. In fact, Klaus brags that he has infiltrated about 70% of Canada’s cabinet. No wonder Canada has gone full commie!

Klaus also ‘predicted’ ‘zee covid crisis’ one year before it happened.

Now Klaus is warning us about a ‘major zyber attack’ that ‘will knock out zee power grid’.

And you best believe him, because it will be him and his global elite pals that will be crashing the grid (mostly to take down and then bring back the internet in a way they solidifies their control over us, like the elites always do, 24/7/365).

How this benefits them is a much wider discussion.

I am only writing this post so you get prepared. I have a heart an I don’t want to watch you starve.

Because while I am prepared, I am not sharing with you.

HB 2002 IN A NUTSHELL

Submitted By: dixiegainer@gmail.com – Click to email about this post
HB 2002 is about keeping secret from parents, treatments for addiction and gender care, abortion and any other “health care” given to their children in school, by changing the age of parental consent. The age of needing parental consent for “treatments” is lowered from 15 to any – that is ANY, meaning K to 15years. Parents shall not be notified unless……SAYS THIS BILL –
AND THATS IT IN A NUTSHELL

My kids, who are now approaching retirement, had sex education, and info regarding access to birth control and abortion when they were in the public school system in this state. This bill does not change that.
I feel that this bill is mostly about “gender care” since that is presently the most “in your face” topic in the news today. CHANGE YOUR GENDER!

In this instance your first grade daughter could be given testosterone treatments if a teacher suggested to her that she might want to be a boy, and you as a parent will know nothing about it. And if you do know – you couldn’t do anything anyway. You couldn’t stop it, because of this bill.

There is now a whole system of gender change
professionals making bucks in this field. Big Pharma included.
I am writing this because this happened to my out of state granddaughter when she was in school. Now that she is no longer in school she says she just wants to be herself – she is no longer interested in taking testosterone. But unfortunately this is not reversible. It is definitely a possibility that this could/will happen to your school age child. I am very very angry about this, thats why I am writing.

So this bill which is talked about as being about abortion is not really that. Abortion is written into the Oregon constitution and cannot be changed except by a vote put before the citizens of Oregon. Most abortions in this state are given to age 20 adults. I checked the data. None in Oregon for 15 year olds or younger.
This bill is about removing parental consent regarding their childs reproductive rights and other care needs, so that the child damagers can do what makes money for them.

The Republicans did not “walk out”, they are still in the legislature working on future legislation.
The Democrats are not going after them because of a bill that you all passed which says an absence of 10 days or more stops the legislator from running for office. And as you can see the Republicans are absent from voting, because they believe in parental rights. The Democrats do not want people who stand up for children to hold office. I am an independent and do not belong to any party. But I am totally disgusted by the greedy and immoral Democrats that run this state.

Did you know that 34 states have no laws regarding parental rights. This is because these states in their constitutions regard parental rights as FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS. That means that it would take a powerful reason, powerful arguments to change this right in a state’s supreme court. Paental rights ARE fundamental rights. This particular legislation does not exist because parents in Oregon wanted it. It exists because outside lobbyists incentivized our top leaders to pass it.
ARE YOU WILLING TO GIVE UP YOUR FUNDAMENTAL RIGHTS AS A PARENT?
Ask the Democrats in your state legislature – Why would they vote for this bill. ASK THEM!
