Review of San Diego, California


San Diego is so not where I want to be
Star Rating - 9/11/2009
I have been looking for a good place to live and San Diego was always number 1 as far as my wants and needs. But then I found this site and peoples opinions of the city. Now San Diego is so off my list. I'm from Memphis Tennessee so I know some crazy people when I see them. But you guys are too much. The ones that love San Diego defend it to the death saying how its so nice and blah blah blah. But as soon as someone says anything negative about the city you attack! All you're doing is proving them right. You keep saying how the people that dont like San Diego are close minded and yet you are so close minded yourself you cant even accept someone elses opinion if its different from your own. Its really sad cause I honestly dont think you guys even realize it. Its really not that serious. If you like it then stay, if you dont then move. Whats the big freakin deal with all this drama?

I've been reading people's comments about multiple cities, try it.  You will find that most people post extreme views, either people hate a city or love it.  There are not many "reviewers" on this site who offer a balanced view of a city.  It makes it hard to get a real sense of what it would feel like for me to live in a particular place.  I would ask you to consider visiting San Diego, if you can, and see how you feel about it. I am researching cities in the hopes of relocating and, honestly, the comments made on this website make every city sound kinda terrible. I lived in San Diego for five years and I was happy there, the biggest challenge is affording housing and the limited industries in which to work. The loss of my job drove me out of California, I miss it a lot. Good luck on your search.

Frankly Lakeysha do not base your opinion on San Diego from what you read on this website. This site does not constitute even 1% of the people in San Diego. It's only a select few that actually make posts to this site. San Diego is beautiful, lots of outdoor activities, events, attractions, people and culture to name a few things. It is what you make of it like any other city. Biggest advantage about San Diego is the weather. The biggest disadvantage is the shock you will receive from the cost of living difference (very high). Come visit and make your own opinion. If you want to find something wrong with it you will but if you want to make the best of it you will.

Hey Lakeysha. I live in the Memphis area. I am looking to move too. This is not my home. I too am focusing on San Diego. I thought it was beautiful. Yes it's expensive but so is New York which is my home. I want to give it a try.
