Review of San Diego, California


Conservative paradise and nothing more
Star Rating - 8/17/2020
San Diego is a conservative version of San Francisco. There is very little cultural influences at all. No real good food, mostly chain restaurants. Shallow people and phony people everywhere. Most of them too shallow to realize when they were being racist. Then you're left with overtly sensitive types of people if you stand up for someone. There were some genuine friendly people there, but were like me, transplants from the east coast or from Seattle. The natives were an mixed bag of passive aggressive or rude.

Meth addicts and homeless people were everywhere in all areas of the city. Terrible job market made up of mostly retail and restaurant jobs. The housed population were arrogant and aggressive towards the homeless population for no real reason whatsoever. The beaches were cold and required an wetsuit. In fact, it was better not to get in the water if you aren't a good swimmer. The rip tides claim the lives of three people in one summer in the short time that I lived there.

Most of my friends I made there, eventually moved away. It was understandable. I eventually moved as well. I couldn't wait to get out

"overtly sensitive types of people" It sounds to me like you are the overtly sensitive one.
