I was raised in Mexico until 12 years old, I being in most California and Vegas, I could tell you that San Diego has the best food. This guy probably likes taco Bell and thinks that's how mexican food should taste
This guy probably eats Mexican food in old Town LOL, cuz San Diego has some of the best hole in the wall Mexican spots. I think it's better then LA and I'm not even from Diego. And the natural disaster argument was stupid cuz every part of the world has natural disasters, so pick your poison. I lived on Orland for a bit and we got hit with hurricanes every weekend.
As a native Sam Diegan, the mexican food statement is completely inaccurate. We have the best Mexican food in the US. And if you can't find any here you like, TJ is a hop, skip, and jump south.
@@DC-ms1qm Absolutely false. I’m from San Diego and moved to the Bay to start university. You know what my fellow peers recommended as the best midnight munchies joint? Taco Bell! I was disgusted as hell.
I live in San Diego, born and raised here and all I ever think about lately is moving out of state. The quality of life has just continued to get worse while the cost of living continues to get higher. The hardest thing is gonna be going to live in another state all alone with no family or friends moving with me, that’s the only reason why I’m still living here.
I agree. I have ate really good mexican food every single time I went to San Diego. What I didn't like was a Vietnamese restaurant I went to the chicken pho was not good.
SUCCESS IS NOT FINALURE; IS NOT FATAL :IT IS THE COURAGE TO CONTINUE THAT COUNTS. BUSINESS OPPORTUNITIES ARE LIKE BUSES, THERE’S ALWAYS ANOTHER ONE COMING.

@@ayiska57 much of California is expensive. My point is you are saying San Diego is too expensive and I'm saying so is much of Cali. All of Cali is expensive. New York is extremely expensive. Maybe even more so than Cali/SD. But, NY is filthy and the weather sucks. I would rather be in San Diego than any other part of Cali. It's beautiful in San Diego. Comprende senior Issa? 😂🤣 By the way, nice name. Issa...its Arabic for Jesus, but I'm sure you know that 😉 Happy New Year from sunny San Diego🌞🌴🌊
San Diego’s ethnic food scene is authentic af. Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese, Thai, Mexican, Ethiopian are so authentic that they taste the same as in those countries. Even Cajun food and BBQ is as authentic as southern states. It’s the best one size fit all city in the world tbh lol.
Kyle Allen I know Phil’s BBQ probably gave a really bad perception of the BBQ scene in San Diego as they probably don’t even smoke the meat, but there are actually authentic BBQ places around. Have you heard of Coops West Texan BBQ in Lemon Grove area by any chance? Maybe that will change your mind!
@@luisme719 I have been to Coops and all the rest. Unfortunately, I lived in Austin for years and it’s impossible to compare it to SD or any CA BBQ. It sure why they can’t get BBQ or Tex Mex right an SoCal...it just isn’t.
Kyle Allen I see haha. Yeah definitely cannot compare with BBQ restaurants around the Austin area (it’s comparable to Dallas though haha), but I guess Coops is really the closest thing one can get in SD - at least it’s real BBQ.
I was born in San Diego and the weather is the same everyday like when it rains there's loads of traffic because people can't drive in rain and more accidents. 😐
I was born and raised in San Diego, and a solid amount of what you said was accurate except for the Mexican food part, the Mexican food here is legendary!
You took the words out my mouth, but then again you also forgot to mention that he hasn’t been to all restaurants. I feel that he has only been to most visited places but not the common places that residents of SD go to
I was there recently, feels really over-crowed. The weather is the only thing that's ever anchored San Diego, otherwise it's over-rated and can get a bit boring if you're not obsessed with the ocean. I feel like LA and the Bay provide way more things to do.
@@ReVerTFx I lived there for 4 years and would agree that there is no culture. Hardly any pro sports, not much going on in terms of theater/art/museums, comedy shows, etc.
@@6toolbaseball hi there. I was mainly agreeing to Damians statement about San diego having the best Mexican food when I initially commented on this video.
@@6toolbaseball you probably don't keep up with surfing, skating, or golf, all of which have major tournaments in SD. Tony Hawk was born and raised in the county and continues to keep the skate scene flourishing. If all you do is roam from Balboa to Gaslamp every weekend things are gonna get boring fast. There's a lot more to San Diego.
I've lived in many cities, I'm originally from NYC. San Diego is a great place to live and visit. I've lived here 15 years no regrets. It's shortcomings are expensive housing, brush fires/pollution, and the homeless (if you live Downtown, or in Ocean Beach). I disagree that the residents are jerks. In addition to great year round weather, it's a biodiversity hot spot you can go to the beach, the desert, and the mountains for snow in the same day. Everything is about 30 minutes or less away so you never get bored.
You being from NYC will definitely skew your perception of what is acceptable Human behavior. I moved here from Texas. California people in general are egocentric and much less Friendly, Courteous,
That Mexican food comment was definitely going to cause a debate😂😂😂 Im from North SD county and I will tell you the mexican food is better here then anywhere else I've had! Also the fact of the people being douchebags might be true, but at the same time the people of SD are much more genuine then people in other areas of California. SD definitely has room to improve but I think it lives up to the nickname America's finest city!
I've yet to have a great experience with the mexican food there, but I may have just been going to the wrong places. I do agree that it's probably one of the 5 best cities to live in the country for sure however haha
@@FromHeretoThere you definitely need to hit up south bay, im sure you've been stuck in the hipster gentrified areas that serve so called "mexican" food, but a lot of the restaurant owners are actually residents of Tijuana that cross daily just to make a living and run business within the southbay area
Name a better Mexican food restaurant in the country than Barrio Logan’s Las Quattro Milpas that’s been around since the 1930’s. I haven’t been to one! Even better than what I got in San Antonio!
@@jondstewart My friend took me there when I was visiting and OMG, their food is dynamite! I froze their hotsauce so I could bring it back with me. The lines were so long to get in and my friend said it's like that all the time. I will definitely go back there next time I visit.
"LA has better mexican food" you can tell this guy has never been to the Mom n Pop shops all across the southern areas like San Ysidro, Chula Vista etc.
I have lived in San Diego since 1986. I absolutely have a deep love of the city. I’m now a bit older, so I rarely take the freeways anywhere, I just allow extra time and take side streets most places. The freeways are absolutely terrifying! I live about 10 min from the beach, which I appreciate so much. I really do. I’m so grateful to live in a beautiful place, I’m on the beach 3 to 5 times per week. Every week. Sadly, I’m moving to the Midwest this year. I would prefer to stay. I play lotto every game, in hopes I’ll hit it big enough to stay for retirement. Although I have worked full time 40-70 hrs per week since I was 16, I’m currently 59, I just have never been able to save enough to purchase a place, and have very little savings. Cost of living is so high, I have to work 60+ hrs per week to keep my head above water. I live in a very old apt, very modest, no a/c, no range, no dishwasher, and my rent is $2100 per month. That’s why I live where I do. If I wanted a nice, a/c range, dishwasher, it would be $2800-$5000 per month. Depending on area. I just paid my bills today, my gas/elec bill was $157, my spectrum basic cable/internet bill is $211, my Verizon mobile phone is $154, water/sewer/trash bill $65 , auto ins $134, and fuel is $4.75 per gal for regular, so $200 per month. If you add my car payment and groceries another 1,000 per month. So just in living expenses $5,000 per month. I live very modestly. I work about 60-70 hrs per week. I’m tired. I don’t want to work this hard anymore. I’m still very healthy, actually love to work, however I’m ready to slow down to 30-40 hr work week. Lol. I could not survive here on a 40 hr pay check. So if I want to stop working 60+ hrs per week, I’m moving to Midwest. I’m actually excited about it. I will miss San Diego, my husband and many friends are buried here, tons of memories, but I can live very comfortably on 30-40 hr pay check there, and if I take my retirement at 67, I could afford to quit working all together, but I probably won’t. But at least I could drop back to part time, and still be comfortable. I’m looking forward to 4 seasons, and easier work life.
You should do what is best for you! I am fortunate to have bought a 2 bed/1 bath home here in Texas for only 95k a bit of a fixer upper but I bought it during the pandemic so spend the summer remodeling...I teach and actually live quite comfortable but I have always been a mimimalist so that helps too!
✋U probably haven’t even been to San Diego. ur “reasons” on NOT living in San Diego are dumb. There’s tours in NYC and ppl still live there 💀 “No culture”????? Yeah “ok”that explains why we live next to the border.
My TOP 10 as to not moving here. 1: Downtown is trashed! Smells like piss almost every corner and don't get me started what its like by the trolley stops in DT. 2: TJ dumps their shit in the ocean and makes it way up the coast 3: Rent, i mean what do you expect from a city that is by the ocean and in Cali. 4: Mostly no PARKING ANYWHERE. 5: Expensive for just buying Groceries... $1.50 for a single apple. 6: Just owning a car is expensive (registration to gas prices) 7: BUMS, HOBOS, the homeless. its just getting bad 8: Typical Earth Quakes here and there 9: Weekend visit to the Beach sucks. just way too many people and full of tourist. 10: Finding a good paying job is hard to find.
I left San Francisco for Switzerland, 31 years ago, All good, but where in Colorado exactly? My older brother lives in Oceanside with his wife, but I have not been there yet. I lived in Telluride and Breckenridge back in the 70s. If I left Switzerland and went back home, I have Colorado in my head. Rocky Mountain High from John Denver brings tears to my eyes. LOL
@@bobertsides Thanks for the info, Knight. Switzerland is fine, fine, fine, and very mountainy, like Colorado. I remember our Telluride school had the Matterhorn on a wall, and was called Little Switzerland. What a coincidence that I moved here. 6 kids born here too, all adults, and my only daughter, Ashley took 3rd place in the Miss Switzerland some years ago down in the Italian speaking region of Lugano.
@@shazamkablam1420 Pollution and gentrification yes but I've been here 40 years and the only quakes I've felt were centered in LA or Riverside Counties. Usually, I don't know they happened until I read about them
I've lived in San Diego for 44 years. For those planning on moving here, make sure you are not suprised by the cost of living. Do your research before making San Diego your place of residence.
"L.A has way better mexican food" NOW THATS THE BIGGEST LIE I'VE EVER HEARD, We have the best out of the best here in SD you just don't know where to look 😑
I agree with almost every negative reason except that we lack culture and food. Maybe our touristy areas are basic and lame, but find a local who can take you to our diverse communities. The food and beer scene is incredible, and to slander our Mexican food like that shows the only thing bland is your taste. WE ARE PRIDEFUL! 😂
The guy who made this video is a straight up idiot for criticizing our Mexican food. This idiot actually said LA has better Mexican food... 😂😂😂 I have friends from LA that admit our Mexican food is better.
I moved to Oregon, came back to visit family and ended moving back because of the Mexican food and Tijuana street tacos. I literally used to cross the border on foot to get tacos and just walk back across.
Yeah hes not knowing about our authentic mexican food. And we're the Home of the california burrito and carne asada fries ( although not authentic mexican ) still very good.
Hell no that's easy moron 1. High Taxes 2. 2-3k apartments 3. Very hot 4. Bad drivers 5. Bad air pollution 6. So much traffic 7. So expensive since so much people live here 8. The homeless people 9. Expensive houses 10. I don't know and do not give a f*ck
Great weather, is the best part. The biggest downside is that it's California. Admittedly, if it were AZ, I would still be there. Taxed to death, over-regulated, over-crowded. They forgot the termites, carpenter bees, coyotes, and snakes. You realize that your life is half gone, and you wonder where it went. Seasons at least provide a sense of time, although I hate cold. My 25 years in SD is one big blur, since the years just seemed to blend together. Still, it's a nice place to visit.
change of mayor will be interesting, newly elected Mayor Gloria is already going "Newsom" on us with instructing police with stronger enforcement of public health mandates including $1,000 fines
@@user-ci8wx8zw2z Some like having Civil discussions with differing opinions this causes people to improve. And moving to a State doesn't change Character. I'm sorry if the Truth Offends True Lies.
We do have seasons...Summer (t-shirt,k shorts and sandals)...After-Summer (hoodie mornings, wear around your waist afternoons)...Almost-Summer (hoodie, shorts, socks and sandals)...Before Summer (t-shirt, shorts, socks, and sandals)...
We used to lived in San Diego area, we left 1998 sold the house and moved 57 miles from there..😊 now San Diego is just a vacation spot for us...when we wanna see the ocean..still love San Diego. 😘
I’ve lived in SD for 21 years. Beautiful city and weather but very unaffordable. I’ll be leaving CA soon. Love the state, but the politics, taxes and felon friendly laws have pushed me out.
I live in SD. I literally went to NY back in 2018 just to experience a real winter. Call me crazy...I just got sick of the year round sunshine in SD. Don’t get me wrong, I ❤️my city but, it’s good to experience a change every now and then.
San Diego native here. I love the diverse climate-you can visit the ocean, mountains and desert in less than one day. I do like more defined seasons, so I moved to Julian. I have views of both the mountains and the desert and can’t imagine many places that offer such diversity and beauty.
I live in Toronto, ON, Canada which has similar weather to NY. We have all 4 seasons, rains 1-3 times a week, cold Oct to May, snowed in from Dec to early April. Everyone hates winter here, its depressing being indoors all winter. SD weather seems dreamlike. How can you miss these awful cold winters of the East?
I have been around a lot of places in the States and I consider myself having a cultural ethnicity. There is no better place to live and raise a family than San Diego. Mas nada.
Perfect weather is not boring. We can drive to the mountains if we want to see fall leaves or snow. Drive to the desert to see the stars etc. Hour drive to both
But why leave San Diego ??? I’m a native here and it’s known for its super duper low prices , super humble non stuck up women ,who are known for never getting shit faced drubk every weekend ,the easiest people to make friends with , great family values and great closeness between people on the community . And if you believe all this I got some beach front property in Alabama to sell you ;) It’s Opposite Day !!!!!!!!!!
I lived here over the summer while training in the Navy and thought I was gonna hate it. I loved it and now im in Japan and am just waiting for my tour to end so I can go back
This is wrong on so many levels. I lived in SD for five years and only moved to LA because of the type of work I wanted to do, but I will always regret leaving there. Pollution? Seriously? Nah-ah. Yes, traffic can be a bitch but just like any other large city, you learn the times and traffic patterns. And sorry, but the Mexican food is better in San Diego than LA. San Diego is a vacation paradise but I never noticed tourists. Heck, my wife and I are tourists there a couple of times each year and we get treated very well by the city's service industry. Frankly, the weather is better there than anywhere else I've ever lived, which includes three other countries and 12 states. And there are lots of places to visit. The beach cities, La Jolla, Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe, downtown, Coronado Island, Balboa Park, and beyond. There's just one problem with it. It's in California. Which means it has high taxes, leftwing politics, a homeless crisis, etc. But if I had to move to a relatively conservative state with crappy weather like Arizona, Texas or Florida, I'd still choose San Diego. Don't need the 9 months of 100+ degree temperatures in AZ, the rain, humidity and tornadoes of TX, or the rain, humidity and hurricanes of FL. San Diego is Goldilocks. As for the lack of seasons, that's what traveling is for.
I live here in San Diego in the gas lamp area. I agree with everything is this video. The sun out everyday does get super old after a while. A rain or a thunderstorm every so often would be extremely nice.
I live in Toronto, ON, Canada. We have all 4 seasons, rains 1-3 times a week, cold Oct to May, snowed in from Dec to early April. Everyone hates winter here, its depressing being indoors all winter. SD weather seems dreamlike.
The tourists aren't the reason for the terrible driving. I always get annoyed when people blame everything bad on "tourists." Grow up and take some responsibility...
I'm from San Diego, born and raised, the biggest problem here is that over the years so many people came here to visit and forgot to go back home. I personally feel like the old bumper sticker used to say, visitors welcome to San Diego, now go home. Seriously though, it's getting real hard to live here with the outrageous cost of living 😒
I was there recently, feels really over-crowed. The weather is the only thing that's ever anchored San Diego, otherwise it's over-rated and can get a bit boring if you're not obsessed with the ocean. I feel like LA and the Bay provide way more things to do.
I’ve lived in San Diego, Dallas, and Miami and would say San Diego is the best if you can afford it. San Diego jobs tend to pay more so that helps offset the housing costs. The reason everything is so expensive is because they keep voting in liberal Democrats in all the large cities.
@@Dbulkss No he's not. Democratic areas are more expensive because most of the innovation occurs there - NYC, Silcon Valley, Austin Texas, etc.. Where as rural areas are nice and quiet ....but backwards. Nobody's splitting the atom In Kentucky or Mississippi or Louisiana.
@@Pdmc-vu5gj Democrat cities have more crime. Murder. Theft. Homelessness. Higher Cost of living. More stealing of your money through taxation. Worse schools. They are getting worse and worse every year. More are leaving those cities and going rural.
LA is polluted and homeless LA can't compare to San Diego. There is a reason south orange county is better than north. It is because north orange is closer to LA while South orange county is closer to san diego and has one of the lowest homeless rates in cali I dont see any. North orange county is LA but a little better. So you see the closer to san diego the better.
Don't forget if you buy new house here you to pay HOA and Mello Roos. Mello Roos goes away after few years but HOA just keeps going higher and ever year.
Lived there for 4 years and my experience was similar to the video. Great to visit but hard to live in. Salaries are depressed because if you don’t think you’re paid enough, there’s a long line of people willing to do it for even less that stretches all the way to the Midwest, especially during winter months.
I grew up in San Diego, I am 21 years old. The cheapest place I can find is 1,200 dollars for a STUDIO. I have to work 2 jobs for at least a year to be able to save enough to manage that cost. Nice beaches, great weather, people are extremely friendly: but it's so hard to manage yourself financially but definitely not impossible. Make sure you have a good job and have a good chunk of money saved and don't mind the crowds or traffic.
I absolutely love San Diego. Due to the perfect weather, everything is geared toward being outside. Nice beaches, parks, restaurants and close to LA and Palm Springs if you need a quick get-away. But you definitely hit the downsides. Cost, traffic, homeless, and tourists. SD is also conservative and has no pro football team.
I recently moved out of SD having lived there the past 5 years. Here's my take... Pros: Perfect weather Dog friendly More relaxed/healthy lifestyle Great Mexican food/sushi A bar for every pro sports team Eye candy (it's ridiculous how attractive the women are) Downtown is easily accessible Beaches Made some great friends Cons: Rent/Gas/Food prices Douchebags galore (you have to weed out the flakes) Perfect weather does get old (I loved when it rained) It's not THAT big (after a while, I realized that there's just as many places I'd avoid than I would visit. Looking at you East County) Overall, I had an amazing time living there and miss it a lot. Hopefully one day I'll be back, but I think I'll start my next chapter somewhere else.
@@ProBusterxXx Definitely go find your happy place! I'm moving to Utah next week to spend some time in the mountains, then I'll see where life is at in a year.
@@joshuacampos421 My personal favorite spots were in PB. Check out Ichiban PB (my favorite), PB Sushi (try the Dragon & Dynamite rolls) and Sushi Kuchi (that last one could have the music way too loud on certain nights, though). Sushi Ota is goid but pricier. Enjoy!
I lived there in the late 70’s while I was in the Navy. I left when my time was up but have over the years thought I should have stayed. I have only been back once a few years back.
I lived there for a while. Moved in 1977. Back to Miami. I have good memories of coranodo, imperial beach, blacks beach. Mission bay, lajolla. The zoo. It was nice then. Check out Miami, much better food, and weather.
Live in San Diego and your comments are right on target. I just hope that this video is discouraging enough for any one that is considering moving here. Happy New Year everyone 🎉 and God bless 🙏🏻

LA: $2,400
SD: $1,650
Expect to see homeless as you drive around. They tend to hang out at the left turn lights.
to be honest, Chicago prices are the same only we get the crappy weather to boot. There is def. a widening income disparity across the nation
San Diego English:
No, yeah=yes
Yeah, no=no
Yeah, no, for sure=definitely
And don’t forget:
“No worries” Nothing to worry about here😂
I was born in San Diego and the weather is the same everyday like when it rains there's loads of traffic because people can't drive in rain and more accidents. 😐
People freak out when it rains, all driving skills out the window 🤣
It only rains for 5 to 10 minutes. San Diego rains ain't nothing but pass water
I was born and raised in San Diego, and a solid amount of what you said was accurate except for the Mexican food part, the Mexican food here is legendary!
our Mexican food is top notch.
You took the words out my mouth, but then again you also forgot to mention that he hasn’t been to all restaurants. I feel that he has only been to most visited places but not the common places that residents of SD go to
Agreed!!
Los Angeles Mexican food doesn't compare. This guy is obviously the momma Tessa type restauranter
Agree
San Diego doesn't have great mexican food? You lost some credibility there...
How can any place with real Mexicans not have decent Mexican food?
Not nearly as good as Texas. I’ve generally been disappointed with the Mexican food in SD. Way too bland for my tastes. Just one man’s opinion.
@@chuckinhouston9952 texas mexican food please beef burrito ha
@@chuckinhouston9952 I've had both. SD Mexican is better IMO.
I know, right? He is silly.
It boggles my mind that anyone would get tired of perfect weather.
The snow is amazing. Snowboarding and skiing is life!! Reno Native here.
I need a nice rainy day every now and then. Perfect weather everyday would drive me nuts!
I was there recently, feels really over-crowed. The weather is the only thing that's ever anchored San Diego, otherwise it's over-rated and can get a bit boring if you're not obsessed with the ocean. I feel like LA and the Bay provide way more things to do.
Exactly...I'm moving to San Diego exactly because of Weather

There so much culture in San Diego? Lmao I lived there for a few years. And the Mexican food in San Diego is some of the best I’ve ever had.
Agreed
@@ReVerTFx I lived there for 4 years and would agree that there is no culture. Hardly any pro sports, not much going on in terms of theater/art/museums, comedy shows, etc.
@@6toolbaseball hi there. I was mainly agreeing to Damians statement about San diego having the best Mexican food when I initially commented on this video.
@@6toolbaseball you probably don't keep up with surfing, skating, or golf, all of which have major tournaments in SD. Tony Hawk was born and raised in the county and continues to keep the skate scene flourishing. If all you do is roam from Balboa to Gaslamp every weekend things are gonna get boring fast. There's a lot more to San Diego.
Great food some culture but san diego is super boring and very white washed
I've lived in many cities, I'm originally from NYC. San Diego is a great place to live and visit. I've lived here 15 years no regrets. It's shortcomings are expensive housing, brush fires/pollution, and the homeless (if you live Downtown, or in Ocean Beach). I disagree that the residents are jerks. In addition to great year round weather, it's a biodiversity hot spot you can go to the beach, the desert, and the mountains for snow in the same day. Everything is about 30 minutes or less away so you never get bored.
I totally agree with you (as a San Diego resident)
Agree 100 purrrcent
You being from NYC will definitely skew your perception of what is acceptable Human behavior.
I moved here from Texas. California people in general are egocentric and much less Friendly, Courteous,
Well said🙂 I love visiting San Diego
@@kyleallen3857 because ppl from Texas are so fantastic. 😂

That Mexican food comment was definitely going to cause a debate😂😂😂 Im from North SD county and I will tell you the mexican food is better here then anywhere else I've had! Also the fact of the people being douchebags might be true, but at the same time the people of SD are much more genuine then people in other areas of California. SD definitely has room to improve but I think it lives up to the nickname America's finest city!
I've yet to have a great experience with the mexican food there, but I may have just been going to the wrong places. I do agree that it's probably one of the 5 best cities to live in the country for sure however haha
@@FromHeretoThere you definitely need to hit up south bay, im sure you've been stuck in the hipster gentrified areas that serve so called "mexican" food, but a lot of the restaurant owners are actually residents of Tijuana that cross daily just to make a living and run business within the southbay area
Name a better Mexican food restaurant in the country than Barrio Logan’s Las Quattro Milpas that’s been around since the 1930’s. I haven’t been to one! Even better than what I got in San Antonio!
@@jondstewart My friend took me there when I was visiting and OMG, their food is dynamite! I froze their hotsauce so I could bring it back with me. The lines were so long to get in and my friend said it's like that all the time. I will definitely go back there next time I visit.
There are no SD locals let alone any California’s anymore. They are all from east coast
"LA has better mexican food" you can tell this guy has never been to the Mom n Pop shops all across the southern areas like San Ysidro, Chula Vista etc.
Tacos el gordo
EXACTLY
I'm from SD. Just moved back after a decade in Hell A. The Mexican food up there is like everything else in LA, overhyped shit on a stick.
Best mexican food is in southbay... LA and riverside are just knockoffs
@@VillaBlanc Bullshit It's good everywhere in SanDiego every Roberto's has there hit or miss days.
I have lived in San Diego since 1986. I absolutely have a deep love of the city. I’m now a bit older, so I rarely take the freeways anywhere, I just allow extra time and take side streets most places. The freeways are absolutely terrifying!
I live about 10 min from the beach, which I appreciate so much. I really do. I’m so grateful to live in a beautiful place, I’m on the beach 3 to 5 times per week. Every week.
Sadly, I’m moving to the Midwest this year. I would prefer to stay. I play lotto every game, in hopes I’ll hit it big enough to stay for retirement.
Although I have worked full time 40-70 hrs per week since I was 16, I’m currently 59, I just have never been able to save enough to purchase a place, and have very little savings. Cost of living is so high, I have to work 60+ hrs per week to keep my head above water.
I live in a very old apt, very modest, no a/c, no range, no dishwasher, and my rent is $2100 per month. That’s why I live where I do. If I wanted a nice, a/c range, dishwasher, it would be $2800-$5000 per month. Depending on area. I just paid my bills today, my gas/elec bill was $157, my spectrum basic cable/internet bill is $211, my Verizon mobile phone is $154, water/sewer/trash bill $65 , auto ins $134, and fuel is $4.75 per gal for regular, so $200 per month. If you add my car payment and groceries another 1,000 per month. So just in living expenses $5,000 per month. I live very modestly. I work about 60-70 hrs per week. I’m tired. I don’t want to work this hard anymore. I’m still very healthy, actually love to work, however I’m ready to slow down to 30-40 hr work week. Lol. I could not survive here on a 40 hr pay check. So if I want to stop working 60+ hrs per week, I’m moving to Midwest. I’m actually excited about it. I will miss San Diego, my husband and many friends are buried here, tons of memories, but I can live very comfortably on 30-40 hr pay check there, and if I take my retirement at 67, I could afford to quit working all together, but I probably won’t. But at least I could drop back to part time, and still be comfortable. I’m looking forward to 4 seasons, and easier work life.
Wow you’re paying way too much for cable/internet and cell phone
Good luck with your move, Steven!
WOW thanks for this real-time break down. It is very helpful. 💛
Hii just curious what your job is
You should do what is best for you! I am fortunate to have bought a 2 bed/1 bath home here in Texas for only 95k a bit of a fixer upper but I bought it during the pandemic so spend the summer remodeling...I teach and actually live quite comfortable but I have always been a mimimalist so that helps too!
Ya don’t come here we are full!
I love my city. Born and raised here 😍. What city doesn't have there pros and cons.
The best climate, hands down, along with beautiful scenery and a layed back easy going lifestyle, makes it the best place to live.
😊✌🌞
✋U probably haven’t even been to San Diego. ur “reasons” on NOT living in San Diego are dumb. There’s tours in NYC and ppl still live there 💀 “No culture”????? Yeah “ok”that explains why we live next to the border.
My TOP 10 as to not moving here.
1: Downtown is trashed! Smells like piss almost every corner and don't get me started what its like by the trolley stops in DT.
2: TJ dumps their shit in the ocean and makes it way up the coast
3: Rent, i mean what do you expect from a city that is by the ocean and in Cali.
4: Mostly no PARKING ANYWHERE.
5: Expensive for just buying Groceries... $1.50 for a single apple.
6: Just owning a car is expensive (registration to gas prices)
7: BUMS, HOBOS, the homeless. its just getting bad
8: Typical Earth Quakes here and there
9: Weekend visit to the Beach sucks. just way too many people and full of tourist.
10: Finding a good paying job is hard to find.
I think u should have done the video bro lmao
san diego native here, and I agree with all 10 of your points lol.
As a former San Diego resident, it's nice there, but living there is taxing on your wallet. That's the reason I moved to Colorado in 2012.
I left San Francisco for Switzerland, 31 years ago, All good, but where in Colorado exactly? My older brother lives in Oceanside with his wife, but I have not been there yet. I lived in Telluride and Breckenridge back in the 70s. If I left Switzerland and went back home, I have Colorado in my head. Rocky Mountain High from John Denver brings tears to my eyes. LOL
@@davidbalmer473 I currently live in Colorado Springs, not too expensive and beautiful scenery. How's Switzerland doing?
@@bobertsides Thanks for the info, Knight. Switzerland is fine, fine, fine, and very mountainy, like Colorado. I remember our Telluride school had the Matterhorn on a wall, and was called Little Switzerland. What a coincidence that I moved here. 6 kids born here too, all adults, and my only daughter, Ashley took 3rd place in the Miss Switzerland some years ago down in the Italian speaking region of Lugano.
@@bobertsides I’ve been living in Colorado Springs for almost 7 years; I’m moving to San Diego in June.

Will you ever be going back?
what places have you lived in? What do you miss?
When he said LA had better Mexican food then San Diego his argument went out the window
The worst thing about living in SD is that it's in California.
Half the things our simply state government part
San Diego County should merge with Imperial County to make it's own state
Don't forget earthquakes, pollution, gentrification.
@@shazamkablam1420 Pollution and gentrification yes but I've been here 40 years and the only quakes I've felt were centered in LA or Riverside Counties. Usually, I don't know they happened until I read about them
Well, There's Always San Diego Texas!
The Mexican food San Diego is way better than LA, NY, and Chicago. Coming from a Mexican.
ofc no better than actual mexican food though. never better.
I've lived in San Diego for 44 years. For those planning on moving here, make sure you are not suprised by the cost of living. Do your research before making San Diego your place of residence.
"L.A has way better mexican food" NOW THATS THE BIGGEST LIE I'VE EVER HEARD, We have the best out of the best here in SD you just don't know where to look 😑
I agree with almost every negative reason except that we lack culture and food. Maybe our touristy areas are basic and lame, but find a local who can take you to our diverse communities. The food and beer scene is incredible, and to slander our Mexican food like that shows the only thing bland is your taste. WE ARE PRIDEFUL! 😂
The guy who made this video is a straight up idiot for criticizing our Mexican food. This idiot actually said LA has better Mexican food... 😂😂😂 I have friends from LA that admit our Mexican food is better.
I moved to Oregon, came back to visit family and ended moving back because of the Mexican food and Tijuana street tacos. I literally used to cross the border on foot to get tacos and just walk back across.
Yeah everyone I know from La prefers our mexican food
Our Mexican food is by far better. I don't know how you can say it's not cultural I went to high-school was more diverse then just about anywhere
Yeah hes not knowing about our authentic mexican food. And we're the Home of the california burrito and carne asada fries ( although not authentic mexican ) still very good.
Reasons not to move to California
Yes
Hell no that's easy moron
1. High Taxes
2. 2-3k apartments
3. Very hot
4. Bad drivers
5. Bad air pollution
6. So much traffic
7. So expensive since so much people live here
8. The homeless people
9. Expensive houses
10. I don't know and do not give a f*ck
Great weather, is the best part. The biggest downside is that it's California. Admittedly, if it were AZ, I would still be there. Taxed to death, over-regulated, over-crowded. They forgot the termites, carpenter bees, coyotes, and snakes. You realize that your life is half gone, and you wonder where it went. Seasons at least provide a sense of time, although I hate cold. My 25 years in SD is one big blur, since the years just seemed to blend together. Still, it's a nice place to visit.
@@xellverr Almost everything on that list applies to pretty much every city.

Lol kinda true
SD is expensive af
Gentrification.
I’ve lived in SD for 21 years. Beautiful city and weather but very unaffordable. I’ll be leaving CA soon. Love the state, but the politics, taxes and felon friendly laws have pushed me out.
where are you going?
I live in SD. I literally went to NY back in 2018 just to experience a real winter. Call me crazy...I just got sick of the year round sunshine in SD. Don’t get me wrong, I ❤️my city but, it’s good to experience a change every now and then.
San Diego native here. I love the diverse climate-you can visit the ocean, mountains and desert in less than one day. I do like more defined seasons, so I moved to Julian. I have views of both the mountains and the desert and can’t imagine many places that offer such diversity and beauty.
I live in Toronto, ON, Canada which has similar weather to NY. We have all 4 seasons, rains 1-3 times a week, cold Oct to May, snowed in from Dec to early April. Everyone hates winter here, its depressing being indoors all winter. SD weather seems dreamlike. How can you miss these awful cold winters of the East?
I have been around a lot of places in the States and I consider myself having a cultural ethnicity. There is no better place to live and raise a family than San Diego. Mas nada.
Why I’ll never move there is my crazy ex was from here
San Diego is a great place to live if you are rich
Ok 2 things: 1. Drive 30 minutes west and there's snow. 2. Our Mexican food is off the chain
Correction: drive EAST and there is snow
I live in San Diego:( Its a really good city.
Perfect weather is not boring. We can drive to the mountains if we want to see fall leaves or snow. Drive to the desert to see the stars etc. Hour drive to both
Bad drivers is spot on
1:52 tourists
3:18 awful drivers
4:25 pollution
5:11 there's no seasons
6:15 natural disasters
7:08 it's culturally bland
8:14 duchebags

Too expensive:( 28 years born n raised I’m ready for something new and cheap maybe Texas
Go now, we will not miss you
where to?
I’ve lived in both LA and San Diego I can’t disagree more with the LA has better Mexican food. We both beat SF but SD murders LA in Mexican food
But why leave San Diego ??? I’m a native here and it’s known for its super duper low prices , super humble non stuck up women ,who are known for never getting shit faced drubk every weekend ,the easiest people to make friends with , great family values and great closeness between people on the community .

I lived here over the summer while training in the Navy and thought I was gonna hate it. I loved it and now im in Japan and am just waiting for my tour to end so I can go back
Great place to be stationed!
I love San Diego despite the fact that its in California
The only thing that I missed about San Diego was Tommy's Tex-Mex and Robertos...
Phil's bbq...its closed permanently now
This is wrong on so many levels. I lived in SD for five years and only moved to LA because of the type of work I wanted to do, but I will always regret leaving there. Pollution? Seriously? Nah-ah. Yes, traffic can be a bitch but just like any other large city, you learn the times and traffic patterns. And sorry, but the Mexican food is better in San Diego than LA. San Diego is a vacation paradise but I never noticed tourists. Heck, my wife and I are tourists there a couple of times each year and we get treated very well by the city's service industry. Frankly, the weather is better there than anywhere else I've ever lived, which includes three other countries and 12 states. And there are lots of places to visit. The beach cities, La Jolla, Del Mar, Rancho Santa Fe, downtown, Coronado Island, Balboa Park, and beyond. There's just one problem with it. It's in California. Which means it has high taxes, leftwing politics, a homeless crisis, etc. But if I had to move to a relatively conservative state with crappy weather like Arizona, Texas or Florida, I'd still choose San Diego. Don't need the 9 months of 100+ degree temperatures in AZ, the rain, humidity and tornadoes of TX, or the rain, humidity and hurricanes of FL. San Diego is Goldilocks. As for the lack of seasons, that's what traveling is for.
I literally almost choked on my food when he said LA has way better Mexican food. Oh goodness.
As someone who is born and raised in LA. I think Daygo (San Diego) has better Mexican food than LA. I’ve been there before multiple times.
I live here in San Diego in the gas lamp area. I agree with everything is this video. The sun out everyday does get super old after a while. A rain or a thunderstorm every so often would be extremely nice.
I live in Toronto, ON, Canada. We have all 4 seasons, rains 1-3 times a week, cold Oct to May, snowed in from Dec to early April. Everyone hates winter here, its depressing being indoors all winter. SD weather seems dreamlike.
You know its a good day when FHTT posts a video

True
He said LA. Has better Mexican food smh
The tourists aren't the reason for the terrible driving. I always get annoyed when people blame everything bad on "tourists." Grow up and take some responsibility...
The Zonies are annoying around the beach areas though
Navy taught me “hurry up and wait “ and ain’t that the truth
I'm from San Diego, born and raised, the biggest problem here is that over the years so many people came here to visit and forgot to go back home. I personally feel like the old bumper sticker used to say, visitors welcome to San Diego, now go home. Seriously though, it's getting real hard to live here with the outrageous cost of living 😒
I was there recently, feels really over-crowed. The weather is the only thing that's ever anchored San Diego, otherwise it's over-rated and can get a bit boring if you're not obsessed with the ocean. I feel like LA and the Bay provide way more things to do.
I’ve lived in San Diego, Dallas, and Miami and would say San Diego is the best if you can afford it. San Diego jobs tend to pay more so that helps offset the housing costs. The reason everything is so expensive is because they keep voting in liberal Democrats in all the large cities.
Absurd comment
100% correct. Progressive liberal policies destroy all the big cities.
@@Pdmc-vu5gj he's right
@@Dbulkss No he's not. Democratic areas are more expensive because most of the innovation occurs there - NYC, Silcon Valley, Austin Texas, etc.. Where as rural areas are nice and quiet ....but backwards. Nobody's splitting the atom In Kentucky or Mississippi or Louisiana.

Definitely don't move to San Diego. Move to LA instead. Super awesome up there, and I hear rents in LA are plummeting. 😂
No San diego is better
@@eddiesimba2106 🤐😁
LA is polluted and homeless LA can't compare to San Diego. There is a reason south orange county is better than north. It is because north orange is closer to LA while South orange county is closer to san diego and has one of the lowest homeless rates in cali I dont see any. North orange county is LA but a little better. So you see the closer to san diego the better.
As a San Diego resident.. good. Keep my city obscure and not crowded!!!!
whut? It’s crowded af here everywhere you go. Plus there’s bums takin dumps around every corner.
Don't forget if you buy new house here you to pay HOA and Mello Roos. Mello Roos goes away after few years but HOA just keeps going higher and ever year.
Don’t be fooled San Diego’s traffic has been rising by the day
Lived there for 4 years and my experience was similar to the video. Great to visit but hard to live in. Salaries are depressed because if you don’t think you’re paid enough, there’s a long line of people willing to do it for even less that stretches all the way to the Midwest, especially during winter months.
Yep. Don’t come to San Diego. Don’t move here. Don’t visit. Don’t even Google it.
I grew up in San Diego, I am 21 years old. The cheapest place I can find is 1,200 dollars for a STUDIO. I have to work 2 jobs for at least a year to be able to save enough to manage that cost. Nice beaches, great weather, people are extremely friendly: but it's so hard to manage yourself financially but definitely not impossible. Make sure you have a good job and have a good chunk of money saved and don't mind the crowds or traffic.
He left out "San Diego shares a common border with the most dangerous city in the world". The fallout is monumental.
the world: Spring Summer Fall/autumn and winter
California: boiling and hotter than the sun thats 1 meter away from california
It isn't that hot. We have 60 90 degrees year round. New york and the east coast have -15 to 110 degree farenheit . You have all the extremes

Yes his videos make a difference to many of us. very useful information
You: Don't move to SD
Me who moved to the suburbs: I am 4 parallel universes ahead of you
I absolutely love San Diego. Due to the perfect weather, everything is geared toward being outside. Nice beaches, parks, restaurants and close to LA and Palm Springs if you need a quick get-away. But you definitely hit the downsides. Cost, traffic, homeless, and tourists. SD is also conservative and has no pro football team.
San Diego chargers will always be the San Diego chargers buddy
I recently moved out of SD having lived there the past 5 years. Here's my take...
Pros:
Perfect weather
Dog friendly
More relaxed/healthy lifestyle
Great Mexican food/sushi
A bar for every pro sports team
Eye candy (it's ridiculous how attractive the women are)
Downtown is easily accessible
Beaches
Made some great friends
Cons:
Rent/Gas/Food prices
Douchebags galore (you have to weed out the flakes)
Perfect weather does get old (I loved when it rained)
It's not THAT big (after a while, I realized that there's just as many places I'd avoid than I would visit. Looking at you East County)
Overall, I had an amazing time living there and miss it a lot. Hopefully one day I'll be back, but I think I'll start my next chapter somewhere else.
Wow, you adventure like just the turning pages.
Just like that? I feel excited and inspired
@@ProBusterxXx Definitely go find your happy place! I'm moving to Utah next week to spend some time in the mountains, then I'll see where life is at in a year.
Best sushi? I gotta know which ones, I just moved here and haven't found an awesome sushi spot
@@joshuacampos421 My personal favorite spots were in PB. Check out Ichiban PB (my favorite), PB Sushi (try the Dragon & Dynamite rolls) and Sushi Kuchi (that last one could have the music way too loud on certain nights, though). Sushi Ota is goid but pricier. Enjoy!
What made you want to leave? Beautiful women and great weather, what more did you want? Did they have a good night life there?
I lived there in the late 70’s while I was in the Navy. I left when my time was up but have over the years thought I should have stayed. I have only been back once a few years back.
I lived there for a while. Moved in 1977. Back to Miami. I have good memories of coranodo, imperial beach, blacks beach. Mission bay, lajolla. The zoo. It was nice then. Check out Miami, much better food, and weather.
Live in San Diego and your comments are right on target. I just hope that this video is discouraging enough for any one that is considering moving here. Happy New Year everyone 🎉 and God bless 🙏🏻
