Juneau, Alaska
This is one of those times you shouldn’t be fooled by the gorgeous wildlife, exciting fishing opportunities, or the picturesque scenery! Retirement in Alaska is definitely a lifestyle, and it’s not for everyone.
While there’s no sales tax in this state, the capital city of Juneau has an extremely high cost of living, which is often bad news for retirees. Like Hawaii, most items have to be flown in from across the country, which hikes up the prices to absurd levels.
Another issue is the really expensive health care, which leads people to fly to Seattle to save more money on their non-emergency medical procedures. But to be honest, we’re not really surprised that Juneau is considered one of the worst cities for seniors.
…So maybe, just in this case, we DON’T recommend moving closer to nature!
Very interesting
While Portland Oregon used to be a nice quiet town. Efforts by the cities political leaders to make the area more cosmopolitin have left the police force woefully understaffed and many people who could have contributed to improvements have departed for places where petty crime and nightly shooting have made the place dangerous for senior citizens as well as others. Also street racing after dark where young people are offten injured make the general area generally unsafe for anyone who does not know their way around such dangerous rotating hot spots.
Why would you want to live in Portland Oregon ? Crime is outrageous. They don’t prosecute the criminals. Don’ know & don’t want to know.

Democrats should retire to Portland to see what is being done to the rest of the Democrat run cities and states in our country !
