Where in SoCal? I think that's key. I regularly go to Orange County and it's not bad in terms of traffic, but if I had to drive in Los Angeles regularly I think I would quickly go insane.

On the housing side, a good friend of mine lives in San Diego. He's in a beautiful neighborhood, but his house cost roughly the same as mine in Denver and it's probably about 40 percent as large. That's kind of a downside. But all in all, I don't think I would turn down a chance to live in San Diego. I don't know San Diego very well, but I could certainly live in Orange County for a couple of years and be happy. It doesn't mean a permanent commitment if you don't like it.

On a lighter note - I got to work in some of the better known studios on the Strip - got to meet a few legends. Had my folks known the shit that went on in those days - they would have strangled me dead. I don't know - maybe they DID know. They seemed genuinely relived when I joined the Army and left the "LA Scene" behind me.....and headed for Fort Benning then Viet Nam. |

Look, the summers in KC can be (and usually are) brutal. But for me - when Fall hits, it's all good! That was my biggest gripe about San Diego. Yes, the weather is wonderful but Jesus - it gets boring after a while. And, unless you are a complete beach bum - it gets old quick. I've taken the whale watching tours, the harbor tour, the whole 9 yards and still - I prefer KC. |

Would be both the SD and LA areas, so I would likely be driving into LA somewhat regularly, though I imagine it would only be a few times a month.

San Diego is ridiculously awesome don't be a fool. Ocean Beach is perfection.
Also in two years traffic won't even bother you. |

I've lived here in SD most of my life. It's expensive. I often get jealous seeing other people pay less money for nicer homes.
If you're adventurous then you'll like it. If you're a homebody then maybe just stay in KC because you won't be getting what you're paying for. Imo, SD's best asset is its proximity to pretty much everything you'd ever want to do on any given weekend, and there's always an abundance of events to attend that are free and great for kids, family etc. If all you're gonna do is work and stay at home, then the weather isn't worth paying for.

Anything to get away from winter and the heat of summer. Especially if you are prone to deep depression. Lots of people kill themselves because of the weather in the midwest.

If you want to live in nice places, you gotta pay for it. SD is a nice place. I'd go Carlsbad or something though if you are commuting into LA too. Personally, I'd get as close to the beach as possible. You can do that, renting, for about $2500.
Life change for sure. |

I've lived in San Diego for 10 years and I think it's the best place I've lived (I'm 32 and have lived in KC, Anchorage, and San Luis Obispo). I also travel quite a bit for work but am excited to come back to this amazing city every time.
Cost of living isn't like SF or NYC but still fairly high. I'm actually looking at buying my first place right now. It's doable - just depends on your preference (condo vs house) and proximity to things like downtown and/or the beach. But I would always recommend moving here. |
