What’s the point of earning a lot of money if you have to live in a crap location.[/quote]

true. some people might really like locations other than san diego. however, those that do usually dont come back and constantly keep trying to pester others how bad san diego is long after they relocated, because normally they are really happy with the move and could care less, let alone take the time to actually continue comment on a place they no longer live in. The times when people do that are usually when they move and have some sort of regret, possibly they main reason for moving had nothing to do with the economic or political reasons, and those reasons are only aftermath rationalization of their move for other reasons, that might not be completely their 100% desire..that or they are so bored with their new life at their new place they have nothing better to do.

but in short i agree with you. i understand of people relocate because they can no longer afford to live in high cost CA area and want a better life elsewhere..and its understandable if on the way out they ate sort of bitter about it. I would be. But i dont understand people who have no problem with affordablity here, move over stupid political reasons, and now are miserable where they are. I mean, i guess if one is content with just playing bingo at the senior rec center, i guess it doesnt matter whether thats in san diego or elsewhere.
