Review of San Diego, California


Too high to be worth it...
Star Rating - 1/21/2014
San Diego has increased in traffic, population, and crime. Don't read the statistics as they're wrong! As far as white population, we are now the minority.

You PAY for the beautiful sunny weather. However, you pay for it in other ways, besides a high cost of living - that is reflected in utility bills as well. Water is an issue since they won't pass desalinization laws here. Not only is it expensive, but it's just not local - hey, this IS a desert after all!

The CA economy over all keeps pushing away business because they tax them to death. We are looking to move north and researching places now...

I'd stay away from San Diego, and CA in general!
