I was born and raised in Oak Harbor  (my Father was military when he retired here) and seeing the huge rent increase due to the additional squadrons, we civilians are taking the brunt of the problem.. Not sure how may people are aware of how many of us were asked to move out of their rental homes and apartments in order to sell to military, or so the owners could increase rent because of all the squadrons.   seems to be the focus on the military vs those of us who have lived here and do contribute to the community as well.  My rent increased $400 in one month and was told if I didn't want to pay that much they can get someone military in there that will pay that much.  This has affected many people I know in a negative way.  While I understand this is a town is home to our navy base, there are those of us who are now paying the price or be homeless.  We have no special discounts, no perks for being civilian especially when it comes to housing.  Its very disappointing.
