Review of San Diego, California


Great weather but not much else
Star Rating - 9/29/2012
If you live by the coast, theweather can't be beat. Also, we have the advantage of no mosquitoes, so being out in the evening is enjoyable.
cons: boring...once you have been here a year, all the events are the same the next year!
A lot of stoners! Everyone smokes pot.
Guys in flip-flops. yup, even attorneys wear jeans and flip-flops to work.
Salaries are sooooo much lower than anywhere in the US that I have lived. Moved from NYC and
took a $25,000 pay cut. employers know that lots of people want to live here for the weather so they pay them crap. It's called the sunshine tax.
Also, ten years ago the city was much nicer....less traffic, low crime, less people, more jobs.
The city is broke, they pay their police poorly, and the city makes stupid decisions.
Schools are horrible.
