My dad's a doctor and has his own clinic. 

There are multiple factors that all play a role and there will never be a quick and easy solution.....Rising cost of housing and overall cost of livingStagnant wages...... lag FAR behind increase in cost of livingPoor education systemPoor family system..... if you get raised by a deadbeat loser, you will probably be one too...Poor healthcare system...... cost and availability of careMental illnessDrug and alcohol addictionLoss of lower level blue collar jobs..... those jobs are disappearingGeneral loss of a hard work ethic in our societyALL of these play a role....Attributing it to just being" lazy" is absurd....... just like when morons tell people with clinical depression to just "shake it off and put on a smile"...... might as well tell the guy with cancer to "rub some dirt on it" and get back out there.So personal citizens and LL should be held responsible to fix it....... and the government should fix it..... but we don't want big government....we don't want higher taxes.....we don't want the government telling us what to do.....we want our freedom....... so make up your mind

Some major employers out of Cleveland are, Progressive Insurance, Sherin-Williams, American Greetings, and The Cleveland Clinic (which is the largest employer in Ohio) They are all headquartered in the greater Cleveland area.

Besides city and federal employment, hospitals are the largest employers (Cleveland Clinic is largest and growing!).

If you want better care, then contract with local doctors versus State run clinics.

Currently work in outpatient orthopedics and do real estate on the side, I'll eventually move on from the clinic and do REI full-time, but I'm not there yet.  

Hi Carla, I have found value investing in Cleveland, OH because it is home to Cleveland Clinic, lot of good neighborhoods, landlord friendly laws, stable appreciation and good cash flowing properties.

Does this mean then I should be able to open up a medical clinic in my van down by the river - who needs a license - it’s unconstitutional…..The Matt foley clinic will be opening soon at the banks of the eastern shore.

Our economy has a strong healthcare presence with Cleveland Clinic, University Hospitals, and Metro Health all headquartered here.
