expensive + crowded + homelessness + closed beaches + tijuana sewage = NOT WORTH IT
Crime and BUMS is what is heard nationwide 😅😅
It's time to build a new wall......around California. Then extend it to the Canada border.
wow you guys finally admit it, usually you guys cover it up calling it misinformation
Conversations?? Seems a bit lackluster. No plans or deadlines for change.
we cant buy a $1,200,000 house or pay $2500 for a newer apt.
I’m moving apartments in June because my lease is up and I have to and I’ve found that because it’s “summer” season and everyone is moving that renters can raise rent by 400-500 dollars for the “busy” season just cause they can. That’s bullshit to me, and now I’ll be stuck in a lease paying 500 dollars over the actual rent price of my complex for a another year. That’s an extra 6,000 a year I’m losing out on because of dumb greedy rules like that. Have someone change that please.
You forgot to mention the high crime rates & homeless encampments everywhere that people are tired of as well. We are tired of Paying high prices to live in a shithole. Also perfectly good businesses that provide good jobs are leaving CA. It’s why we are looking to move to St. George, UT in 2 years.
Might as well give it to the wealth and rich people
So we don't need new housing?
We bought a home in Chula Vista (from Oregon retired in 2010) and we love the weather. Our house value has gone up 50%.
San diego and Calif taxes are so high, and the money is wasted.
$3000. A mo for apartment
Left for work in 2013, returned in 2023, and left again, this time permanently, in January of 2024. San Diego is more expensive than Orange County (lived in Irvine and Costa Mesa for 9 years) and LA (North Hollywood), the wages are lower, the few tech jobs it had are gone, and going out is ludicrous. The food was mediocre everywhere we went, the service lacking, the city congested, smog (I could see it coming from del Mar to La Jolla), sewage runoffs whenever it rains and beach warnings regularly - you could smell the sewage in La Jolla - it's cloudy 6-8 months of the year, the home prices are insane while the wages have stagnated behind the coastal California cities, including Orange County. The city is fighting for its identity everywhere you look. It's definitely not what it was 10-20 or even 30 years ago. At least, we had the surfer, hang loose vibe before, but now it's completely gone. I'm afraid native San Diegans lost the fight for the city's soul.
San Diego is so beautiful I wish I could live there but where else to move to. And Florida is not an option.
I'll be on my way out shortly also
its about to be SF soon
San Diego is fast becoming a tale of two cities where extreme wealth meets extreme poverty.
Obviously. It is too expensive now.
