Based on my experience, after leaving San Diego and now after almost a year of living in a suburb of Austin, I can now 100% claim that San Diego is waaaaaaaaayyyyy OVERRATED. In addition, more than fifty percent of people living in San Diego are waaaaaayyyyyy DELUSIONAL. If we ever get bored living in the Austin area, we can always choose to go anywhere or even go back to San Diego, but at this point in time, San Diego is becoming a distant memory. We visited Corpus Christi (less than 4 hours away drive) and that place felt like Coronado islands in San Diego except that Corpus Christi has tons and tons of fishing, crabbing, shrimping, and oystering. I made up my mind recently that for retirement purposes, Corpus Christi is the one for me.
