Horrible place to live

After spending almost 18 years of my life here arriving at age 36 with 2 children and leaving at 53 Richland is a horrible place to live. The medical care as a whole is awful especially orthopedics. Don't look for any kind of quality care here. Id rather die at home than go to any of the local hospitals. If you are not well, traveling to Spokane or Seattle for care is not easy. I would not put my worst enemy in any of the elder housing facilities in town. ( I watched my mother put my grandmother and 2 great uncles in these facilities- I witnessed first hand) Those two things alone make it terrible for anyone retired or going into retirement. All the new construction is in the 700k price range/ higher, or over priced apartments. Nothing that anyone actually lives there or works there can afford unless your part of the good old boys club at Hanford, medical provider/dentist, or attorney. New new construction like single level condos with garages geared toward seniors or entry level homes that families can afford. Everything is overpriced in Richland/Tri Cities from gas to food. Summers with month long over 100 degree temperatures. If you have school aged children the best option is to home school. The area is quickly changing, and with it the crime is escalating. I couldn't get out of Richland quick enough and so glad I did.
