    Most people living in San Diego really miss out when they are afraid of Mexico or write it off. One of the best parts of being in San Diego is proximity to a totally different economy like that.

    This month I will be moving back to Tijuana, MX and find work in San Diego. I have already lived in TJ for five weeks recently just to get a feel for it. Last July and this past December I was in TJ and San Diego but I prefer TJ because the cost of living is just significantly cheaper. All in total, I have spent six weeks in TJ and only five days in San Diego. The high costs just gives me the cold chills and makes me want to get out fast. Working in San Diego is a big plus though if you live in TJ. I like California and the western region because there are so many places to go to.

Actually, I believe Alaska has thee most earthquakes in the U.S. Agree about most of it n learned a few things as well (mostly about sports info), but U left out a few things from a female perspective (awesome shopping, farmers markets, flea markets, outlet malls especially near Mexico border, etc.). I truly LOVE San Diego bcuz was raised most of my life there, but extremely high Cost of living, very high gas prices, high taxes way too expensive n could no longer afford to live in my own home city, so we moved out-of-state, but hope to come back for a brief visit in the future tho.

    Great video! You forgot to mention our four different climates. Visitors can go to the mountains, beach, desert and inland. They have choices. That's another reason why they should rent a car when visiting. And San Diego's known for having the best burgers. I heard that somewhere. But when I think about it, we do have great burgers here. Personally, I like the Mexican and sea food!

    Late on this but the only real con of moving to San Diego is, of course, EXPENSIVE. If nice houses were $300,000 half the country would move there. If costs were the same as Texas who in their right mind would move to Texas over beautiful oceanfront temperate SD

    I like your site and its fun watching your content. As a life long resident of Escondido and Chula Vista I would l like to put some perspective on your opinion and information. All your cons are correct but there are so so much more and I don't need to mention them here. You did mention rampant homelessness, but what about unaffordable housing, high utility costs, poor education system and rampant illegal immigration? Regarding the Chargers, that wasn't the cause of the local government. It was us the voters. The city wanted to give, not loan or float a bond for a free stadium for the Chargers that would cost us $500 million with no benefits to the tax payer. Issue was much more complicated but that is essentially it. How do I know, I attended the city counsel meetings with that shady Mayor Faulkner.
    Sand Diego is NOT a great place to live because no one other than high income earners can afford to live here. As of 2019, the median income was $36,000. No one earning 36k can afford to buy a home or even barely afford rent. Look, all your pros are great...for people who are visiting and vacationing in San Diego. How does the average San Diegan afford any of these pros if they cant afford just to live? I guess, if you're living with your parents, have a ton of roommates or renting a room off of craigslist, you can sort of afford living in San Diego. Again, like your content but on this vlog I am going to have to disagree.

    I'm actually looking forward to the new SDSU West stadium that can actually be filled by fans, and its expandable...just not NFL size. I hated that the Chargers left, but its the fault of the politicians, developers, the Chargers, and the city citizens who couldn't make it work, but honestly, even as an avid fan and former season ticket holder, I think they probably are in a better situation, and the Chargers didn't have to pay for a stadium... what a deal. Anyway we have too many people who moved here (or just non sports fans) that didn't care about the Chargers or felt they were leaches with their ticket guarantee that wouldn't vote for a new stadium for the Spanos Family.

    There are over 70 public golf courses, and you can play year-round, too. Bike trails everywhere and you cannot block off access to the coast areas with private property; it is all free access. Hiking trails, a great zoo, beautiful bodies abound, and some may even show interest in you. You don't have to make alternative plans due to the weather, either. The cops leave you alone so it's not a police state. Government does not tell you how to dress, how to pray or who to love. This town is great, I would venture to say, "America's finest city".
