Buy one expensive home, get a less expensive home free!

I mean, you couldn't pay me to live in San Diego, but if you like it there, get a couple houses!

That's not even San Diego. That's freaking Escondido. You live there, your commute is horrific wherever you work.

Lovely.

What would you do with two houses, besides pay the property tax every year? I mean, it's not like you have a good chance of selling it quickly.

San Diego's a *********

California pretty much disintegrates into worthlessness as you travel south from San Fransisco. SF is great, LA it barely tolerable, and SD is eye gouging horrible.

The weather there is amazing though. At least, downtown it is, right there on the coast.

Man, I dunno. St. Louis must be really, really sh*tty, if I held San Diego up on such a pedestal comparatively.

I guess if you wanted to enjoy lovely weather with 10 million douchebags, it be ok. My tolerance for douchebaggery is probably lower than yours.

The best thing you can say about St. Louis is that it has an arch.

To the best of my knowledge, San Diego doesn't even have an arch!

My ex's family is from Escondido and use to own a block of land down town. Sorry, but you couldn't pay me enough to live there. Either it was too hot or cold and overcast, while we visited. Add the Santa Ana winds and it's enough to make me want to kill the neocons, I first encounter there in the 80's.

is it better to let a built house to sit empty or to give it away to the supper rich?

interesting way of dealing with the housing market.

Coronado and La Jolla weren't too shabby when I was stationed there while I was in the navy. Pacific Beach was fun for carousing, too. Some decent restauants in downtown SD, but I haven't been there since '94.

I do want to hit the SD Comicon some time, but it won't be this year.

Ya'll are crazy.

San Diego is lovely if you have the money and a medical marijuana recommendation. Though you'd want to either be;

downtown(for the nightlife)
uptown(for the gays)
oldtown(for the mexican food)
or near the beach(for the surf!).

And unlike LA everywhere takes 15minutes to get to, unless you live in the burbs like escondido. Most other neighboorhoods outside the city central are little boxes on hillside and they all look just the same.

While it was fine to live there, after 3 years I was definitely missing some seasonal changes. While I could do without the humidity here on the east coast, it's worth putting up with for the seasons.

















Grammar ftw! Smiley: grin

Also unlike LA, "everywhere" is 1000 square mile mini-mall.

The people paying 1.6mil for a house will need a second house for their mistresses.

I love how your primary measuring stick appears to be how liberal the people are.

In terms of climate, comfort, and lifestyle, San Diego has most US cities beat. Hands down. I suppose if you have a very narrow East Coast view on what is "best", you wont like it. But we kinda like to keep the uptight folks away, so that works out just great... ;)

Yes, it's unusal. I know that's why you've considered Havana for a summer home.

As long as you don't mind living in a desert by the ocean with exorbitant taxes, astronomical cost of living and a metric f'uck ton of illegal aliens sapping the local resources, sure, you could make that case. San Francisco has a much better climate, much better cultural experience and an infinitely more attractive coastline. Liberal concentrations aside, there's no better city on the planet. That's why we call it The City.
