I grew up in tennessee. I know it isn’t the most sophisticated state in the country. Being in the military, I have lived in five states and I’ve noticed the differences in culture per state. I personally believe that san diego is more self conscious about appearance and image than other states I’ve lived in. Most people in other states are not concerned about how they look when they go to the grocery store. People dress well here almost as if they are worried they might run into someone they know. My opinion is that with or without cash, a lot of people are going to dress nice no matter what there income is.
