Review of San Diego, California


San Diego, the America's Finest City
Star Rating - 6/17/2021
San Diego, CA (the SoCal area) is undoubtedly the "America's Finest City."
I've lived in the city since 1979, worked and retired in the Navy and the federal government (FAA). I own a very nice home in a safe well-planned community. I've also live in SF Bay area and my aerospace job moved me to the Boeing-Pacific Northwest (Seattle) for several years in cold, rainy and smoky environment from seasonal fires and now with my DoD job at the nation’s capital (DC/VA/MD), with its great museums and long walks. All are nice cities to live and plenty of things to do but nothing like San Diego with its nice year-round weather, nice beaches (relaxing on a beach resort environment on weekends), very good healthcare, very nice multi-lane freeways, very good burritos, great local winery and craft beer, great for boating/fishing at Baja Isla del Coronado, Mexico during Spring to Autumn (for tuna, y. tail, bonito, rockfish and lobsters). I have it all living in finest San Diego. Nothing like it in any of the cities I’ve live. Every metro area in the country have homeless issues but San Diego have a better handle of it.
