Cost of living pimps the residents here

Cost of living is high and affects the quality of life for most who live here. Even with the recent down turn in real estate prices, the current prices and stricter sub-prime lending rules are still making the American fream of home ownership unattainable. For many, working just to live in this city is the way. Leisure activities that make San Diego a prime tourist city are usually not anywhere near the top of the priority for residents. And then their is the traffic... For those who are aching to become homeowners, many have purchased homes in neighboring counties some 100 miles away or more. They then commute to their jobs in San Diego making the commute times ridiculous. No time for family or leisure activities because they must work and work and commute and work some more.
