Review of San Diego, California

Please Don't Mive Here, We're Full
Star Rating - 3/24/2019
I'm a native of San Diego and really sad to see how decrepit our beautiful city has become. The roads are a disaster. House prices are out of this world. Can't drive across town on a freeway unless before 7 am or after 6 pm. All I hear is "Build more housing." "How about, "We're full, please come to visit, but don't move here." We can't afford to add you to our city. Not enough water, houses or space on the roads. Thanks.

So, the City of San Diego is not "full". This is manufactured by the permit departments who are intentionally slowing the permit process to prevent development. That's why downtown smells like pee and has turds in tree wells.

Also, this website won't update my "agree" and "disagree" button. This means this social media site is manipulating public data.

I live in the Golden Hill section of San Diego. I am a transplant from Philly that has lived here for 7 years. You do realize you live in Encinitas, CA. That is not San Diego. Encinitas is 30 minutes away from San Diego. Are you sure you're a natvive?

Kai.. There is the City of San Diego and the COUNTY of San Diego, which is where the City of San Diego is located within. Therefore, Encinitas and all of the neighboring cities are in SAN DIEGO!!!

Yeah your a San Diego county native of your born and raised there. But we are talking about cities not counties. San Diego, CA is very very different from Encinitas, CA.
