I love the outdoors, beautiful lakes, mountains, trails and of course the Sacramento River. Am disheartened with the medical care . If you value medical care don’t move to Shasta County. Access to quality, acute, chronic and comprehensive care has declined significantly in the last 10yrs. Redding is attractive for its’ beautiful proximity to nature and the ease of outdoor recreation. Housing is affordable for those with a decent income. I moved thinking schools were incredible but they are decent, “average” . I’m originally from SF, where I experienced schools to offer inclusive and diverse academia, rigorous studies, extra curricular activities and an abundance of support for children. I could only give Redding 3 stars as the crime has only escalated since moving here 5-10yrs ago. Substance use in young adults has also risen among many other reportable health concerns.We are surrounded by fast food. A decent meal at a nicer restaurant is comparable to bigger city prices. Not cool
If you are middle, or upper middle class, you will love Redding! Beautiful area, lots to see and do, and still fairly close to the coast, the city, etc. Housing is very reasonable. But, it is a city that hates poor people. Social Services are extremely limited. There are food banks, but minimal public transportation. There is a large homeless population, made up, mostly, of addicts, alcoholics, and the mentally ill. The "haves" demonstrate virtually no compassion for the "have nots." They call them, collectively "tweakers" whether or no. The homeless are blamed for all the crime in the area, and perhaps rightly so, due to the dearth of resources for survival and treatment. Local law enforcement seem devoted to $ accumulation, via tickets and impounds. They simply do not respond, when called for crime. Buck passing among agencies is the norm.
I grew up in Redding for the majority of my life. I admire how friendly people are, how everyone knows each other and how everyone accepts each other. There's so much to do throughout and around Redding, adorned with beautiful hiking trails and fun downtown activities. The athletic environment is competitive in Redding as well. Playing soccer my whole life, I was always under the heat of a challenge, which fueled my competitive nature. I've met several great individuals that are incredibly important to me and my well-being. I'm happy to call Redding home, no matter where I go.
