SAN DIEGO - Myths and Legends - 8/13/2007
As a native San Diegan, allow me to clarify what you may have heard:
EXPENSIVE HOUSING - Yes. (And may I also say, Duh!)
TOO CROWDED - 1,000,000+ baby, and growing, and growing, and growing...
CONGESTED FREEWAYS - see above
HIGH TAXES - see above
TOUGH JOB COMPETITION - see above
BAD DRIVERS - Like they're better where you came from?
SNOBBY PEOPLE - No way! I offer wine to anyone who comes aboard my yatch.
LACK OF CULTURE - Well, think of it as a playground, not a city.
FUN - ocean, beaches, mountains, desert, Mexico. If you can't find something you like here, there's something WRONG with you!
WEATHER IS OVERRATED - Fine, whatever, so leave already.
To summarize, San Diego is like a theme-park: crowded, expensive, and fun.
