Keep searching, don't bother with Loma Linda.

We have only lived here for 7 months, I am already counting down the days until we can move. The air quality is awful, which as listed here could not possibly be accurate. It is either smoggy or smoke in the air from all the fires in the area. And on a clear day, when you can actually see the mountains, it stinks of diesel here. People are generally unfriendly. This is the ultimate pavement paradise, if you are into that sort of thing. Cost of living is ridiculous for what you get. Sure, the sun is out just about every single day but I would trade that in again for some occasional rain and air that doesn't feel so disgusting to breathe. Commutes are pretty riduculous, 12 minutes to get somewhere 2 miles away. I can't believe Loma Linda is considered a blue zone, it is like living in a dust bowl with trash along the roads everywhere. If you don't NEED to move here, don't bother. Oh! And medical care? Never have I seen a hospital completely over run and over populated. My daughter needed some health saving bloodwork, she wound up becoming ill because we were completely ignored by the medical community here at Loma Linda childrens hospital. They don't have good health care. We have been terribly disappointed with everything here.
