It's already the most expensive place to live in Oregon. The atmosphere is a little bit like Aspen (from what I understand, never been to Aspen).

I'm a remote software dev in Bend. I've been here about a year after living in Portland for 9 years. Bend is definitely not as expensive as Portland. We can afford a lot more for our money here.

Sunriver and other tourist destinations in the area are expensive; living in Bend itself is not.

You obviously haven't priced living in Bend or you are used to paying bay area rates.
