Review of San Diego, California


Ready to go home!!!!
Star Rating - 9/25/2008
I have a very good friend who lives here in San Diego, and once a year I would come out from the east coast to visit her. We would always go to the beach, go to great places to eat etc. I always got such a good feeling when I came here, so I thought..why not move here? HUGE mistake!!! I have lived here now for about 4 months, and I hate it and want to move back. Yeah, the weather is great, but quite honestly I'm sick of it, I want some variety. I always look back on the memories of my life and they all have a "season". Here, there is never a season to remember something by, just "remember that day? It was sunny?" Yeah, I guess San Diego is great if you love to feel like you are in a foreign country everywhere you go, if you love to be paid for less than you are worth, love a horrible public school system, love to sit in traffic and deal with the rudest most horrible drivers you will ever encounter...then yeah San Diego is great. It is a nice place to visit, but San Diego has no soul...bring me back to the east coast where people keep it real and there is a SOUL!!! San Diego...it was nice knowin' ya!!

I am thinking of moving to San Diego. I would love to hear more. I grew up in N.Y.C.m lived in the S.F. Bay area for most of my adult life, got very ill, and need to move to a drier/warmer climate - as hear it it mostly foggy and damp. I aree I like the folks back East better. Would love to hear from you. Do to disability, its hard to use the net, so if you feel comfortable, I could call you. Thanks Berkeley Jane
