Top 8 Worst Cities For Retirement

Even though one can be easily tempted by the wonderful weather and top-rated health care, there’s more to the city of angels than meets the eye. Like most other major “worst cities” in the country, the cost of living can be terrible for retirees.

For example, a tipycal one-bedroom apartment in the downtown area can cost about $2,000. Also, California has the highest sales tax in the country. And it’s also worth noting that LA’s never-ending struggles with droughts and wildfires can make it a bad idea to move here.

The last wildfire destroyed over 1,200 houses and covered an area of roughly 1.2 million acres.

…But besides all this, we STILL recommend Disney Land for the young at heart!

    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.
