Anyone out there who lives or have lived long term in Baguio? Would this to be a good place to retire?

Don't live there but have visited many times.
As you probably know, Bagiou is cool so no need for air-conditioning, it's relatively safe i think. It rains a lot, there have been some landslides nearby in benguiet. Traffic can be a problem, especially at weekends. Session road is good at night restaurants, live music etc. The big problem i see it's on top of a mountain, and if you want a day on a beach you have to drive down that mountain.
I have only ever driven up and down on Kennon road which suffers from rock falls landslides, and extremely dangerous drivers, but its the quickest way up and down. I would not use public transport on that road. Last time we were there a bus crashed killing 23. Then a couple of weeks later a van crashed killing 9 or ten. Not sure if there is an immigration office there or not.
Would. Live there yes i would.
House prices and rents are a little higher. Fresh vegetables is relatively? cheap. Strawberry? farm sells cheap veg and great strawberry jam. Whenever i drive there i always seem to get lost haha. I think generally it's a very good place but not quiet many visitors like me but i like it.
Another cool place to live is Tagaytay, again get very busy weekend and holidays but has the advantage of no mountain to climb good beach resorts nearby, Manila or too far away again in town rents and house prices are expensive, but live 20 minutes outside it's much cheaper. Been there by motorcycle and cars many many times like Tagaytay a lot.
