Suggested Lede (and description):
Lost in today's economic headlines is the memory of the housing bubble when it was most extended. Rising prices made owning a home unnatainable for most wage earners. This was especially true in Bend, one of Oregon's fastest growing cities. Now that things have slowed down, some Central-Oregonians see a healthier future in the rubble of the fallen housing market. KLCC's Mike Van Meter reports.
