Why would you have to go to San Diego if you work out of your place?
Do you sell drugs? |

My company asked me to move to SD 5 years ago from KC. No big deal, I had been there many times - and my Son was stationed there, so my Wife and I sold the house and went. Let me put it this way - it's one thing to "visit" San Diego and another thing to "live" there. When I had the option of coming back to KC - We were thrilled to death. The Midwest and the West Coast are two completely different animals. I don't know. Had I lived there as a child (I lived in LA for 9 years when I was a young teen) it might have been different. As an "old" person - who has retired from the military AND a civilian occupation, it's just not for me. Great "touristy" place - but that's about the best I can give it. I'll take Kansas City any day of the week.

It all comes down to money - this place is paradise if you can afford it. I'm originally from KC but been out here 30 years so I've certainly acclimated to so cal living. It's damn near perfect year round and you can always catch a Chiefs game when they play the Chargers. Royals play up in Anaheim yearly - crap town for sports but who cares, beach, great weather. Tough to beat.

I have lived on the coast a few times. It's all about your current financial situation. If you can buy a house and not eat like a hobo it's worth it. If you are in your 20's do it. You will not save a damn penny but if will be fun.

You better be rich. Also better be okay with living in a busy, loud city.
I just moved away from SD and I'm having a hard time adjusting to the lack of noise. |

You should probably sit down and really understand your opinion of bikinis before you make this decision.

Dude, Minneapolis is a great town. Yeah, the weather isn't ideal, but otherwise, a great place to live.

Yeah, obviously not ideal, as far as a cost of living adjustment. That said, I make good money in Minneapolis, which would probably be middle/upper-middle class in SD. |

Married? Kids? I mean would a kid want to be raised in Minnesota or San Diego. It's a great place if you can afford it, and it sounds like you can. I managed to wear shorts and flip flops for an entire year while making good money on the coast. Winter sucks.

Funny - my Wife is from St Paul and while It's "different", I would prefer it to Southern California. Can't say that I hated it - just didn't like it. $575K for less house than I paid $250K for in Olathe was a bummer and, quite frankly, I got sick to death of sunshine. And as a guy that grew up in Phoenix and LA - that's hard to say. I got used to the seasons in KC and learned to love them. The infrastructure of San Diego is horrendous. Went to a game at Qualcomm and it is (literally) falling down. Traffic is generally not too bad - but it can be a dog from time to time - and on the rare occasion it rains - it's katy -bar- the door with traffic. The proximity to the border wasn't my thing either. I lived in Eastlake (just South of San Diego proper) and my Son lived on Coronado Island. Like I said - just wasn't my thing. I was glad the day it came time for me to "come home". |
