Review of San Diego, California


Loving life!
Star Rating - 12/10/2015
Hi! The website is asking me for a review of San Diego, so I will.

I really wanted to write a review downing San Diego to discourage people from considering coming here, but I just can't do it. I'm 4th generation San Diego. My pops is a former Marine out of Camp Pendleton. We have roots here.

I grew up in SD and I love it here. I've lived other places, been to most of the states, through Mexico a lot, Canada, the UK. But I always com back here. Why? Because it's San Diego. If you live here or have visited, you get what I mean.

The thing is this... There has been a large influx of outsiders moving to San Diego, raising the price of everything, and acting like jerks. Lot's of folks come here and litter our beaches, then just go on back to wherever they are from and don't think twice.

I'd just like to say that if you are not from San Diego, or at LEAST from Southern CA. OR Baja CA. Mexico; please don't move here. Please don't even consider it. Locals, for the most part, get it. Outsiders do not.

Is San Diego expensive? Better believe it. And it's worth every single hour on the job to pay my rent to enjoy this place and it's surrounding communities including Los Angeles.

So, stay where you live and make it better so you can enjoy it! Leave SD to the locals who really get it and can truly appreciate it.

Thanks for reading!!! :)


Peace,

Jimbo.
