I’ve been in San Diego for 10 years, (Carlsbad resident) and I love it here!!!! I’m telling you I can’t imagine living anywhere else!!
I second that!
Now, you know what you have it’s time to trash talk San Diego. We need less and less people moving in to San Diego. Lol.
Planning to move down there
@@JohnWick-su2nh what did you expect from living in one of the nicest places of amerca
@@JohnWick-su2nh how would you feel if you lived in a different city, then wanted to move to San Diego and they said “sorry we don’t sell houses anymore because we need less people here” dreams crushed huh?
Born and raised in LA and will moving to San Diego with my job in a few months. It is expensive but a little cheaper than LA.. I’m excited 😊
Very cool. Let us know if you need help finding a home!
Good luck! God Bless💕
Wow your blessed to be able to have great weather and to be able to Afford southern California!! I wish I was you! Unfortunately I live with 4 seasons. I REALLY HATE SNOW.
Moved from LA to SD too.
Next year I will move to San Diego as an exchange student.
Greetings from Bavaria, Germany.
Willkommen! Ich liebe Oberammergau, San Diego may not have the beautiful mountains, forests, and fields of Bayern, but the beach, food, and people are the best!
Wow, how cool is that ! You know about Oberammergau. I love my region here too. But that's it. You have the desire for beautiful green landscapes. And I for warm regions like San Diego😄.
@@MuhammedS11 Ich überlege auch mein Auslandssemester in San Diego zu machen. Wäre cool, wenn du dann in Zukunft darüber berichten könntest
Hey checking in - are you already in SD?
I’ve found San Diego very unique in its own right. It’s because it’s a very well-known city, but not for everybody. The weather is perfection 7-8 months out of the year where it feels neither hot, cold, or warm. Just very room temperature with a few token warm or hot weeks in late summer or early fall and maybe 40 at the coldest in winter. You can live comfortably in your home never running heat or AC. The downtown skyline has no remarkable buildings of note, just a few skyscrapers and high-rise apartments. The cost of living. It’s very high, but not nearly as bad as the Bay Area and a little cheaper than LA and Orange County. Food. Best Mexican food I’ve ever had is in Barrio Logan at Las Quattro Milpas, a Family-owned cafeteria with a limited menu of homemade tortillas, tacos, beans and rice, and tamales. Also The Chicken Pie Shop is worthy for All-American comfort food. People. They’re a lot more chill, live and let live, and not all concerned about money and social status for the most part. A millionaire in La Jolla and working man living in Claremont will talk to each other. Beaches. Better than LA, but a little cold for some. Coronado, La Jolla, and Belmont are the main ones. A mediocre Major League Baseball team that’s been around 50 years, but never stood out or won the World Series. Amusement parks are Sea World and Legoland just outside the city, nowhere near the hype of Disneyland or Six Flags. The downside is if you’re a flashy person into sophisticated culture, the arts, and nightlife, you’ll probably be disappointed and bored. And most of the folks are conservative that hate the liberal policies of most of California.
Love the bicycle lanes and paths - I use to ride a bike to/from work everyday! Saved a ton of money and time!
Totally agree!
I hate sports, I hate seasons, and I hate "old" cities... Sounds like 8 pros and 2 cons to me 🌴👌
Ha - I guess it just depends on how you look at it😀
@@BernMcGovern thanks for the video. I'm convinced I need to live there now😊
You sound BOOORRRRIINNNGG
Love sports(Can watch on tv), I also hate seasons, and as a electrical contractor I really hate old cities. Been here for a week working on a project and I do not want too leave.
sonnick That’s all I am saying. I come from a old city Baltimore,Md and I’d rather have less spending money in San Diego. I love it out there.
People forget that there are so many great hiking trails in San Diego- great info!
Thanks for sharing the pros along with the cons about living in San Diego!
Thank you from Findlay, Ohio. Lived in downtown San Diego- 2011 to 2013 and fell in love with the diverse community ❤️.
One of my favorite cities, I love san diego
2021: Most expensive: Honolulu, San Francisco, New York, Washington DC, LA.(in order) I grew up in NYC and Live in DC, if San Diego is #13, that's cheap.
Lived in SD for one year and I left my heart
Never too late to come back!
Was in san Diego from 1997 to 2016 with a few years stationed in japan and oxnard, now in chicago for a year now regrets leaving awesome video.. san diego on my mind 😎
I/m currently in IL, so San Diego sounds like paradise to me!!! Gotta go there. Great video. Very informative! :)
Even with all those cons you mentioned, I think the pros outweigh them! Great video!
This is so great! I’m planning on moving to San Diego December 1st is this year. I’m so excited. Been researching almost constantly. Came across your video and have now subscribed. Thanks look long forward to watching more. I’m moving from WA btw
That’s great Adam. We’ll keep the videos coming and if you need help finding a home we’d be happy to help!
There is snow and sledding in San Diego as well as four seasons - Palomar, Julian, Mt. Laguna - all within San Diego County. Nice vid!
All good points!
I’m moving to San Diego this Saturday! From a small town to a big city!!! I am so ready.
Very cool! Congrats! What city are you coming from?
thank you guys! we are moving to SD from SF this August! cant wait to enjoy all the stuff you mentioned!
Let us know if you ever have any questions! Happy to help
@@BernMcGovern thank u! :)
Nooooooo. Stay there. San Diego is full of homeless worse than SF.
going to be senior in high school right now and hoping to move to San Diego right when I graduate. The first time I'm ever going to be solo. Visited for 2 weeks since my sister lives there and I knew right away I wanted to move there.
It’s a great place Jack. I hope it works out for you
I live in OC and work in tech, so I'm considering the move to buy a home in a few years. San Diego is on the list for sure!
Just wanted to comment that the quality of these is great. Super informative, to the point, great editing, and the hosts are incredibly engaging. Wish more channels about living in other cities were like you, would make deciding where to live a much easier job. Thanks for what you do!
Harper I’m glad we could help! Let us know if you have any questions about San Diego that we can help answer for you.
Thanks for these videos. I’m moving to San Diego from Richmond, Virginia in 2 weeks. I’ve been planning this for years and I’m finally ready. Your videos have been helping me so I appreciate it.
Glad we could help! What part of San Diego are you moving to? Let us know if we can help in any way
Living in San Diego I’ve visited a couple times and fell in love with PB, so that is my plan 😊 Thank you!
Kurtopulous how’d it go
s7wizardz __ it’s been one of the hardest, funnest, life changing things I’ve done in a while and I wouldn’t have done it any differently. It’s been such an adventure and it’s barely started yet. I’m still excited
Also I got my own apartment 2 blocks from the beach and the bay in PB! ❤️ I stuck with my goals
Moving to SD at the end of the month, thanks for the sharing!
Guys, you're awesome! I'm so willing to visit this amazing city one day!
San Diego is nice I want to visit there on my vacation later on this year amazing views and good quality of the culture.
San Diego is the best I’ve lived here since I was born it’s amazing and I would never wanna live anywhere else!!
Thanks for watching!
Good video guys. My whole family lives in San Diego and have been trying to convince me to move there from Florida. I've visited SD several times and all the things you said in your vid is true.
ys
One thing that surprised me was the theaters. Most Broadway shows do trial runs at the Old Globe. Amazing shows all right here.
Agreed. They have some great shows here in San Diego
San Diego is considered my second home I'm from Arkansas but I visit close to twice a year, I've stayed in Del Mar, point Loma, Chula Vista, and gas Lamp... I can't get enough of Diego I love it one day hope to move there
We'd love to help you if you ever make the move permanently!
Thank you for sharing and talking about schools :-)
The best is the air quality - usually moderate or unhealthy in the summer. Even better, the streets are neglected so you get multiple wheel alignments per year, but really it's a great excuse to buy a massive 4 wheel drive monster truck.
Botanical gardens! Don't forget that it's fantastic!
San Diego is my favorite county out of all of California. I want to move to San Diego one day.
Thank you for your wonderful helpful videos
Bankers Hill is so walkable. There's Balboa Park there and Hillcrest and the public busses are awesome. Every 15 to 20 minutes is so much better than once an hour where I am now. I did not need a car there because I lived downtown and had access to closeness of neighborhoods, and shopping a short accessible bus ride away.
I want to move to SD in October from Ohio hopefully everything will come together hope the cost of living is bearable lol I also wanted to start 1 or 2 businesses 1 at home business so love your videos!!
I hope you make it!
Love San Diego born and raised
just found this channel here to support!
Thanks Mario!
Really beautiful place...
Cute video. Thanks for sharing.
I think still more pros than cons. San Diego is really beautiful. Call Bern or Courtney if you moving there :)
Having only one sports team isn't a drawback. Olympic Training Center is down there. There are many golf courses over there in the county. San Diego Gulls hockey team, Sockers indoor soccer and an indoor lacrosse team plays at Pechanga Arena. New soccer stadium will be built over near there. Another stadium is being built near what was Qualcomm Stadium. SDSU, University of San Diego and UCSD are Division I universities that have athletic teams. San Diego sports scene is very distinctive even with only a nationally recognized sports team.
Good points of discussion
Thanks for sharing
I am from the San Francisco Bay Area for over 35 years and moved to Las Vegas 10 years ago and now APPARENTLY San Diego has become cheaper "overall" compared to Vegas as of January 2022!!! I guess my NEW home is in San Diego!!! Kudos to you and your "better" half!!!!
Never heard San Diego is cheaper than LV. Why in the world would anyone pay more to live there than San Diego? Makes no sense.
I moving also from Pennsylvania thanks guys apréciate
All time background music stressme, good content.
I live in ugly Las Vegas, Im planning to move to SD to have access to nature and beaches. I love the vibe here, people seem to be friendly and much happier than anywhere else. I advice anyone who is living a miserable life to make a change as soon as possible. Life is too short
Couldn’t have said it better myself! Make it happen😀
Born i n Thousand Oaks raised in West Los Angeles.
Move to North County in 1987 and enjoy everyday.
It’s hard not to enjoy it that’s for sure
I will be moving to San diego soon 🙏🏼
Very cool. Do you know where you’ll be living yet?
I would love to move out that way someday. I'm a Philly native as well who currently lives in NYC (Bronx) since 93. I'm so ready for a change. I hate the cold weather, the cold people, and rising crime here. Perhaps I can find low income housing there. I'm older now and looking for a calmer existence. I just subscribed to your channel. I will be watching... 👀
Thanks for watching Kiki! Let me know if you ever have questions about the area.
@@BernMcGovern Will do... 🤗
good stuff. thank you.
I’m thinking of moving there with my family from Japan. Thirst videos are great. Thank you ✌🏿
Glad you enjoy them! Let us know if we can help
@@BernMcGovern Will do✅
Off the 5/52 here. We've been here 10 years (from CT) and you provide some good content. How about brewery's? That's a top 5 for sure!
Breweries are Top 1 for me! I think we may do a whole video on them
I was there last week. Is there a time of year when the Haze is better or worst? I did want to enjoy the sunset more, but I encountered quite a few Haze heavy evenings.
can you please do a video about the different subsections of san diego? :) I want to move to SD but there's just too much information about the different areas of SD online. it would be nice to get one concise overview video and then do my own individual in depth research from the overview. thank you :)
K that’s on the list. We plan in doing an overview of all the different sections of San Diego. I’m trying to get them out as quickly as possible!
with the awesome weather and great beer and fantastic schools is there really a con to SD
Hey you two, I was born & raised in San Diego, the weather puts any other big city IN THE DUST!
P.S.
basketball and football are for the unpatriotic.
SAN Francisco/ LA has more Art museums perhaps one is full of smog the other full of Fog!!
I will live in San Diego one day 🙏🤞
I hope you make it!
The weather is 👍👍👍👍
Agreed!
Summer all year round pro and con
Hey Bernie. Brian Bradley. Good stuff. Philly Philly!❤🍀👍
Brian Bradley from West Chester?
Yes sir. Small world. It's good to see ya on here. Good stuff Bern. I was thinkin bout movin out there. I will give you a call. 👍
@@bmb505music2 very cool. I know a few people from the Philly area living out here. Give me a ring if him ever want to chat
From Delco really thinking about moving there
Love it here
Agreed - Thanks for watching!
Thank you for sharing! Living in San Diego can be extremely expensive, its similar to cost of living in Hawaii
I'm from Italy, I'm 22 yrs old and I'd love to live in San Diego. The biggest issue is money, I'm scared that I will never be able to move there. But who knows
It’s not cheap for sure but you can love affordable in certain areas of San Diego
Hey i live in San Diego and i wanna live in Italy, hahahah let’s trade
@@Wadepenn_ 😂😂😂
I want to relocate to work in San Diego from London, it’s not impossible . Just have to keep saving and doing our research. Im currently trying to employ for jobs over there as a graduate . I’m sure you will be fine x
@@lanz2646 thanks for the love, Meanwhile I graduated and I'm still studying in the international relations field. I'm still dreaming about san diego
Definitely not cheap area to live but so so beautiful
Thank you for the great video, it was very informative.
My family (me, wife, 1 month old, 3 year old) will be moving to SD. My wife will be going to the law school in downtown.
We are currently living in Louisville, KY very comfortably (my income is ~$80k, and I am keeping my remote job).
can you please recommend some areas where we should look into living? We are home owners but since it's expensive here,
we are open to renting/apartments. Thank you!
Working with some Buyers from there right now. They can't say enough great things about where they live in the city!
you can ofc live in north sd county around oceanside or escondido
Omg San Diego is my favorite City in California second to San Francisco anyway because San Fran is my first Top favorite city in Cali and I've still haven't made up my mind whether or not if i would like to move to SF or SD it's a very tuff decision for me to make !!!
Both great cities in their ways
Can you grow vegetables year round and is it a dry climate or is it humid ??
Yes - they grow all year round here. The climate is definitely on the dry side
I’m ready
San Diego will welcome you!
great video currently planning on moving there or LA im originally from inglewood can you tell me what they have to help homeless youth there thanks again
I’m trying to move to Southern California inside the next few months. San Diego looks wonderful to me. I’m a British soccer coach. The cost of living is so expensive in the UK plus its cold. California doesn’t seem that expensive to me. Thanks for the info!
I will like to me u sir
Did you get to make it here?
@@copiouscat hey! Not yet but I’m planning on staying in a Co living pod in Santa Monica from October 1st for a month to check the place out. The US had a travel ban in place up until Nov 11th last year then had to get vaccinated etc so its been delayed. Can’t wait to get there! Southern California looks like paradise to me.
@@simonparker5173 You will love Santa Monica! I hope the co living pod is IH (that’s one of the best imo) it’s smack center in Santa Monica. And best of luck to you I really hope you get to make it out here 😊
@@copiouscat I haven’t actually decided which one yet so thanks for the recommendation. Have you got a website address for them? I’ll check them out.
How is Bernardo Center Dr... Can I get more information and what's the minimum rent for tiny/micro apartment? Planning to move in January 2022
Hi guys! I want to move to cali! I'm considering San Diego... and to go to grad school for my masters in social work. Don't really know what's right and where to start. Any ideas or tips?
chargers moved to LA but im still a chargers fan!! and think many of the former fans will feel that way too..
I feel like a lot of their San Diego fans do not like Spanos and have disowned the Chargers
Thank you. Few questions though -
1) How is the water temperature on the beaches during summers? If the temp is 75-80 then i wonder whether it will be cold to get in the water.
2) Can you please suggest a few good public elementary schools?
Thanks
The water temp never reaches 80. We are lucky to get in the low 70’s most years
There are tons of good elementary schools. I would check out the Poway Unified School district as well as San Digueto School district though
I came from Albania in Boston a year ago and I can't wait to move in San Diego.
I hate winter 😒
Mello-Roos- are building fees on new construction permits that are passed on to the buyers. The are set by local government that allows the builder to pass the permit fees to the buyers over a set time. Look up how much City of San Diego collects from new construction.
It’s a lot
Great video, but THE FOOD!!!
Thinking seriously of moving from Miami to San Diego. Retired a year ago and ready to leave. Found a great 3300 sq. ft. condo in Bankers Hill. Can’t wait to fly out for a second look see and make an offer on it. 👍🏻. Oh yea ... the price tag has several numbers and a comma in between those numbers 😂
That’s great - is it the one on Brant St? That’s a nice one. Let us know if ever need help!
Living in San Diego ... no it’s on sixth across from a park 😉 I wanted to be close to Hillcrest but so far I haven’t found anything I liked or the amount of space I was looking for. Nice to be close but not in the thick of it
Rob Youngquist I hear you. If I hear of anything new coming I’ll let you know
San Diego is really beautiful. you have people running and walking at night time.
I wish I could afford to move back to San Diego 😩
Subbura 1988 you and me both....soon
We have plenty of culture . Balboa park old town Chicano park . Lakeside has the rodeo Drive to Julian ca and there’s snow in winter and good pie’s.
Oceanside the new little san diego
I just moved here from Miami
Welcome!
Very informative video. You guys didn't talk about the violence.
And from the information you provided San Diego is better than Miami as Miami struggle with Hurricanes and floods and too much insurance
We haven’t experienced any violence. I guess that’s why we didn’t talk about it
@@BernMcGovern thanks
Lack of seasons=pro
Yeah I’ll have good weather all year round please
Ha Agreed. But I still miss the occasional storm
Well, I guess that statement about the Padres might change in the near future!!! Great video!!!
They proved me wrong!
San Diego is my future home. I'm a snowbird. Soon. Semi retired at best.
Is El Cajon a good place to live?
I'm a Phillies fan too...
Awesome! Do you live in SD?
@@BernMcGovern
No, I live in Upper Bucks County, PA, but thinking about moving out there
can i start high school in san deigo ?
Is Sabre Springs a good neighborhood? I would love to know more about it.
It is! Very centrally locates right by the 56 and 15 Freeway. Good schools and shoot right downtown if you need to. Great breakfast spot there too
Living in San Diego cool! Thanks!
I am biracial Irish , German Jamaican and Spanish. I am a college graduate of Harvard and NYU Stern Business School. I own my own Insurance Agency - Senior Life Agency of Los Angeles through World Financial Group.
So here is my reason for desiring a move to San Diego California. First I do life insurance from home here in NYC all over California, second interracial relationships are dead and no where to be found in NYC. I have lived many places including Los Angeles and no have I seen a place so segregated.
San Diego California is listed as a colorblind environment where in does not matter who you love or want to share your life with.
This is important to me because in NYC segregation is front and center and is you are biracial like me there's
just no chance to find love if you are black/ mixed seeking a White female in a relationship.
So bring in San Diego would you say people are open minded and accepting and more concerned about the character and content of a person over race?
I am sure many more people have this concern but are afraid to ask.
Thank you and I will wait for your response.
so hiw much would a 2-3 bedroom home cost 30mins from the beach
For rent? Probably $1500-$2,000. To buy they would start around $400k-500k
What are the possibilities of migrating to California???
