I grew up in Poway and rancho Bernardo, we never used the air conditioner
Do you think it’s warmer now in RB and Poway? Or you just never really needed it growing up?
@@LIVINGSANDIEGOCA idk , don't live there anymore, but what I remember is it would get hot but not that bad, it wasn't really needed. Left there in mid nineties
@@america9704 same - my places didn’t give AC 20 years ago and it was ok!
I’m a native San Diegan and that was an excellent rundown. I recently read how San Diego now has the highest cost of living, even higher than NY and San Fran, as you mentioned. I was very surprised but not shocked. Real estate prices are ridiculous and so is rent, even if you live in Southeast SD or another ghetto type of area. I make more than $100,000 a year, and although I’m not struggling, I’m not living like a rich person. I live alone and have to pay about 40% of my salary on rent. And although I don’t have to live in Encanto, I certainly can’t afford La Jolla or Del Mar. Car prices have also gone through the roof. I bought a new truck a few years ago, and even though I put $8,000 down on it, my payments were around $540 a month. And vehicle registration fees are ridiculous. I pay about $500 a year on this truck. Food prices have skyrocketed here, even for cheap places like Taco Bell. You have to pay over $10 now for a combo meal. I bought one medium combo meal recently at Firehouse Deli and it was about $20. And I hardly ever go to tourist places here because it’s too expensive. The Zoo, Sea World, Legoland, Safari Park,, etc. I feel insulated paying those prices in my hometown. You’re right about the ocean temperatures. The water is ice cold most of the year. And the waves are choppy. Definitely not resort-like beaches like in South Florida. And parking at the beach is impossible. And San Diego is not walkable or bikeable. And the trolly doesn’t go anywhere near the beaches. Bad mistake with the planning. And someone mentioned like a 5-to-1 men-to-women ratio. That seems right. The women here suck! They are very good looking, but they are spoiled and stuck up. They are unfriendly, standoffish, and kind of leery of being hit on because of the unbalanced ratio of men to women. I think a lot of this is due to the military bases which have a lot more men than women on them. Women here can be more picky and can pick and choose the better-looking and wealthier guys. So if you are good looking, wealthy, and highly social-oriented, you’ll love San Diego. If you’re a regular Joe type like me, even though I’m comfortable financially, although not rich, you’d be better off living in Texas, or Arizona, or Idaho, or more of a red state and not a dark blue state like California. I’ll move to a red state when I retire. San Diego is not a good place to move to when you retire. Your money will quickly evaporate.
I really apreciate your feedback! Average home prices are around $1M, so it takes a household income of about $200K+- but there are some great areas in east county where you can still get a nice home for $750K - or if people want to live closer to the city- buying a property with an ADU can help set off those costs - so many ways to make things work if we get creative. :)
Dude The thing about the women here is absolutely True!!! The woman here are Non Commital transitory Professional Ghosters at best. Even with Good looks, Wealthy, Blah blah blah the women here are a no go!!! I would have to import a girl from the outside to be here in San Diego. This place is got its perks but also has alot of downsides especially when it comes to dating. I am now dating LDR Phillipinas and I could not be happier. I am done with American Women period. I think I can almost say that about the entire nation seems to be that women are falling victims to the Liberation disease of false independence and entitlement which is a lie..Overall though San Diego has good places to live but you will need to come in with a huge investment to live here.
Great video !!! :)- I lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for over 35 years of my life and I left California over 12 years ago because of the direction that California seems to go moving forward. UNLESS the politicians pull their heads out of their A$$ES, California is like buying a ticket on the TITANIC!!!!! Kudos to you and your channel and GOOD LUCK with that!!! :)-
Thanks for sharing! Where did you end up moving to?
I was thinking to move to California...thanks 😊
I moved to SD from LA in 05. It was paradise back then. You could still bring a portable fire pit to Ponto Beach, ride bikes though Camp Pendleton, get 2 beers and appetizers for under $10 at PB Bar & Grill, and there were actual DJ's playing had picked music on the radio. Those are all things of the past. Now, SD on on the verge of the suck that LA is famous for.
Sounds so familiar to my experience - I came down in 2001- moved to PB it was the best! Nothing like it
How about Ocean Beach...omg! We have a guy who basically has set up camp next to our recycling bin and I keep calling "Get It Done San Diego" and nothing get's done! The police drive by on Voltaire but they don't drive in the alleys ( OB full of alleys) and that's where they set up camp. We pay ALOT in property taxes so very frustrating. But I must add...I do love SD everyone is very laid back and really just happy to live herebut homeless population is truly out of control.
Ah yes! OB is a "locals only" kinda vibe, and I love it! But the homeless population is a REAL issue. The streets/alleys smell like pee too.. 😭 But with all the issues we have, it's STILL hard to give up on CA (SD) - laid back vibes and tons of stuff always going on around town.
Very informative
Thanks for watching and your comment! 🙏. Are you local or out of the area?
We moved here in 2005 . So far so good. As long as you don’t have any vices like gambling or etc. We love it .
That’s awesome! What brought you to SD originally?
@@LIVINGSANDIEGOCA the weather and the place , we have both world here, the beaches and the mountain.
Yeah I thought about owning a Boat but having it here in San Diego or even a Pool is not neccesary..Its too cold here even in Summer to run around a boat..Now Florida is a whole different story I would def have a boat in Florida and a Pool. So living in Murrieta It gets hot and honestly I rather just live there which is only 40 minutes away from San Diego. For 8000000 I still get hot summers and cooler coastal evenings best of both worlds and a big ass house.
I do wish the coastal weather in was warmer for sure! We do get a month or two of warner beach days - but inland is where it’s at for the pool parties! Plus as you said- your money gets you a lot more home inland!
In otay mesa ca for eggs is 3 dollars for dozen at Walmart
Wow! I haven’t seen $3 for eggs in several years! Unless I get them from a local who has chickens 🐓🐓
You use a photo of a San Francisco cable car to illustrate a San Diego Trolley. There are thousands of photos of San Diego's trolleys. Why didn't you use one of them?
Ugh! Not my intention at all! I didn’t catch that mistake the editors made 🤦🏻♀️
cost of a home in Northern Virginia is about a million as well - i.e. if you want to be in a decent school district - not number 1 school but just average in Fairfax, and Loudon counties of VA, and Montgomery county of Maryland. Though you may get more home for the price - but you don't get great weather! Depends on your priorities. Lawns are the biggest point source pollution in the US - even more than farms. It is actually good not to have a lawn. Conserving resources is a good thing and better for the planet. California seems to be leading the way yet again. You don't have good public transportation anywhere except of NY city area -wanna move to Jersey city for a lower cost of living which is not that low anymore today?
All good points!
local and state government finding new or excessive ways to tax its residents is NOT new or a California only thing. I'm not saying it's ok either we are getting taxed to death here in Washington too. I appreciate you vid though! been wanting to move to SD or LA area for a few years. it may never happen. Most of the negatives you mention are no SD only but entire west coast problems its everywhere !!
Thanks for your input! I agree with you. Originally from LA and all my family still resides there. I will say out of all the major cities in Ca - SD is the best in that the typical CA issues not nearly as bad here as they are in LA or SF. It sounds lame, but the weather and active lifestyle make up for it. “Daily life” is awesome - the government and taxes - not so much 🤷🏻♀️
Take it from divermike who learned to scuba dive in San Diego. The water is COLD. Divers need a .25 inch (or 7mm next size in metric) thick wetsuit. Surfers use a 2 mm to 3 mm wetsuit even in the summer and with long sleaves. Most divers who can afford them use drysuits with lots of insulation undernearth. How cold? I've been diving in 36F water in San Diego but that was 80ft deep. Typical is around 62F even in summer. In winter there's no laying at the beach in a beach chair, unless you have a fire going. Fire rings are common at beaches in San Diego for a reason. Ditto in L.A. but L.A. 😝
But don't get me wrong. I've lived all over the East Coast and the West Coast. San Diego is still my FAVORITE city of all. It has just always been expensive and now completely unaffordable.
I live in the Bay Area and its beautiful here because of the weather and the diversity, except the politics. We adjust the cost of living, like getting an Eletric car (Toyota or Honda) cheaper than Elon Must overprice car. Public transportation is better than L.A. and S.D. because we have the BART system. However, changes for the worst to Oakland and S.F. because of the homeless problems. I live in Fremont (hospital city) because me and my wife are health care workers. All of my kids went to public school and they all (3 of them) finish college with my oldest just passed her Bar exam. I do agree with you that California needs be better again.
6:55 WHY DO PPL KEEP VOTING FOR HIM
No idea
Miami enters the chat
Miami in the house!
🤣 I like you. Honest. I'm from LA and I'm really tired of the trash here. I have to claim residency in another state to avoid Newsom's retarded taxes like Nevada but still have a home here in Cali. I'm looking into Republican strongholds like Newport Beach, Laguna Beach, Rancho Santa Fe, Del Mar and Coronado.
Michigan: Eggs $1.50 Milk $3 Rent $800-$1k (cheap end for floor or small house)
Wow! It’s a different world! That was Southern Ca prices about 25 years ago when I bought my first home in LA.
@@LIVINGSANDIEGOCA crazy, huh??
@@stephenbusscher so crazy!
I've lived in San Diego Twice and for a long while each time. In the 1980s and the 2010s. It really was a wonderful place to live back then BUT what was once a bit expensive is NOW ASTRONOMICAL. There is no heavy industry. I used to work in Aerospace but that is a lot less of that in San Diego now. Manufacturing is 8.9% of jobs in San Diego. Profession & Scientific services about 12.9%. Healthcare is 13.1% of all jobs. If those industries can sustain such expensive living it will stay that way. IDK.
But I need to say also. It seems to be bad nation wide, at least on both coasts. I've live a lot of places in my career. Cities everywhere on the East and West coasts near any jobs seem mismananage, over crowed and sometimes also a struggle to afford. I think it all comes down to how American citizens in general have lost control of our politicians. They only care about the large donars and that's likely not you. It doesn't matter which party. I think we need campaign finance reform. I think we can't get that withoug Ranked-Choice-Voting which "should" create more choice. We need someone to represent the taxpaying middle class and that does not exist at present. Instead it's all social hot button issues meant to distract from the graft. Ranked-Choice-Voting must be good, because both democrats and republicans around the country are trying to ban it.
It’s an amazing place, and there is a big migration of LA and SF moving here- remote work is pretty normal, so that’s helping drive price up too- that and low inventory on homes for sale
what about no parking anywhere
Good call! That is deff an issue in the coastal communities and metro cities like downtown and North Park.
Boy, this is not an incentive to buy in SD?
There are actually amazing communities I fell in love with in East County SD - have you explored these areas yet?
😨..this is apsolutly frightening 😱.. .. I have watched apocalypse movies with a more friendly vibe
Awe! I’m sorry, within min a few minutes of the video I start sharing all the beautiful opportunities in Ca! ❤️
Sorry, CA ranks about 29th from the lowest in taxes. Plus, very low property taxes - 1% and can only increase 2% each year. Greatness costs money…the world’s best public research university system, UCSD right here and top notch public community colleges and 2 CSU universities right here.
You’re right with property taxes, income tax is very high tho - and even worse for business owners - there is a cost to greatness and that’s why the people that still live here are wiling to pay - lots of pros and cons - and everyone’s needs are different as well
What is important to one person may not make a difference to another
Are you in research?
@@LIVINGSANDIEGOCA About 25% of SD jobs are military, including civilian military jobs which give location allowances, more pay, and CA doesn’t tax Social Security benefits while 11 states do. And, because of the climate, cars last longer and less need for cold weather clothes. Plus, since SD is a vacation destination, staycations can reduce those costs. So many inexpensive things to enjoy. Because CA had a $100B surplus, CA law requires some be returned to taxpayers. I got mine.
I’m not in research.
@@oppenheim2 I appreciate your comments and engagement on my video - all great points - thanks!
I’m a life long so cal resident and raising my family here
I do work with military and most don’t make enough , even with housing allowance to buy a home here that fits their needs - they buy elsewhere - not all - but a lot
@@LIVINGSANDIEGOCA Active duty military can live free on base. Plus, CalVet, VA mortgages are usually an advantage, lower down payments.
@@oppenheim2 it’s the home buying that I wish was more affordable to them - zero down is great, and lower rate is a huge bonus - but zero down means higher payment / and that affects affordability. But if the payments are affordable - yes all day! I have families that want to buy and retire here, but it just doesn’t make sense $$ and they end up moving to more affordable states where $500k gets you a nice home
Why do you think the well water is free? It’s a limited resource and if you take water from the water table there’s less for the rest of the community
Thanks for your comment! Do you think families living off the land or off the grid are taking away water from companies charging for water?
There’s also 5 guys to every female.
You're not wrong! This is true 🤣
that sounds truly dystopian
😂 seems like it
It's sad how politics can ruin beautiful places
Agreed! - we just gotta get louder about these issues
Don't come here. Stay where you are 😆 🤣 😂
It’s funny cause a lot of the country has migration coming in - according to all the reports in San Diego we mainly have locals buying homes! Not so much people relocating to SD these past few years 🤷🏻♀️.
@LIVINGSANDIEGOCA I feel like there are a lot more cars than people, it is hard to find parking. I have seen immigrants coming. It is funny how they can afford San Diego when some locals can not, I do see these immigrants work more than two jobs. Therefore, they can thrive faster.
I like in your video100 of you.complete
Thank you so much for your comment! 🙏
@@LIVINGSANDIEGOCA please help me for come to usa .
And they want to throw Trump in jail for inflating his realty property? This houses were built in the 30's and 40 's and they want a million dollars for them, Lettitia you ought to come to San Diego and sue the realtors in San Diego!
What’s trump got to do with this topic?
@@lisaharper1827 absolutely nothing and everything!
Trump literally incited a insurrection and you m0rons pretend that didn't happen. Dude sat there clapping his hands
@@luissegovia1932you MAGATs are brainwashed
Never move to San Diego unless your making atleast $140,000 per year or more.
Hey! Thx for commenting! Are you local? It is expensive in SD, but there are thousand of San Diego residents that make less
Why don't you move out of state? Plenty of other states that don't have the expenses you're complaining about. Bye!!
Hey! Thx for your comment - not sure if you watched the whole video because there are pros and cons to anyplace - but obvi I’m choosing San Diego - life long So Cal family ❤️🇺🇸
@@LIVINGSANDIEGOCA I watched the whole video, definitely sounded like you had a everything-is-shitty theme going on. Didnt hear much about the pros in this video. Even the schools got shat on, despite us having ridiculously good schools in the north part of san diego. I think Cristina has quite an appropriate comment.
@@grownupgaming thx for your comments - I have a pros and cons video of San Diego - this is a different topic - 10 things to consider before moving to SD. It’s not for Everyone 🤷🏻♀️ but it is for me and my family - So Cal native and 20+ years in SD raising my family ….
Don’t move to San Diego
Thanks for your comment- did you move out of San Diego?
Youll never, ever,own your property in CA!
well that's not exactly true. There are people buying and selling homes every day here in CA and in San Diego.
