Yes and no. I cannot see myself living here in the next ten years due to the traffic. Plus I am having difficulty getting a job in my field. It is already way too congested for my age group at 57. People from every state move here daily and all of them have forgotten how to drive, including the South Carolinians. I will note there are plenty of activities for all age groups year round, but again you have to get there to enjoy them. In addition to the travel, activities , there is healthcare which is plentiful here. You will have many choices of top notch providers, but you will have to cross over a bridge or two to get there. Cost of living is high in some places as well. So if you are on a fixed income , it may be a little difficult. Hope this helps
