San Francisco, California

As the land of beaches, tech companies, and the golden gate bridge, many Golden State natives have an undying love for San Francisco. But for many people, this is a city that’s better to visit than to actually live in.

Retirees seem to dislike it for several reasons, their number one is dealing with the traffic. No matter where you choose to go, plan on being delayed. And we’re not talking about a rush hour either. Locals report that it’s just always, consistently bad.

Now, you might be thinking: How does this affect me? I don’t drive. Well, want to go grab some coffee with a friend? If they don’t live near you, they’ll be stuck sitting in traffic for hours. This can ultimately isolate retirees from many dear ones.

And while traffic is a huge grievance with the area,  in addition to the insane housing prices and overcrowding, you might just decide that the Bay area just isn’t for you.
