Waukesha, WI
Not that great, long winters and huge potholes. -
1/31/2020I lived in waukesha for 37 years. It's home, it's where I grew up but it's a bit of a dump. They're trying hard to make it nice but its just not that great of a place to live. Crime has been on the rise for years. Winter lasts for 8 months and good luck getting plowed in a reasonable amount of time if you're not in a high property tax area. The pot holes are a quarter the size of your car, lots of money in suspension costs to your car. The rents are going up on apartments like mad and property taxes are some of the highest in the area. Positives, the schools are decent. There are plenty of churches if you're into that. The suburbs are still nice but are disappearing. Stay out of the city if you have kids, move to a suburb or the outskirts like Oconomowoc or Pewaukee. Oh yeah and if you like bar hopping, Waukesha has a lot of pubs. Friday night live downtown is a nice venue.
Loma Linda, CA
Keep searching, don't bother with Loma Linda. -
11/1/2019We 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.
