formerowner, yeah SF is a better place that SD for international travel. It’s also a super city in terms of culture and scenery. I love the BART into the SFO.
The housing stock in SF is old. Your house in Temecula is comfortable and virtually maintenance free for the next 30 years. An old house in SF would require thousands of dollars in yearly maintenance expense, not counting your time to do the repairs, the aggravation and the discomfort. I’d love to live in an old house, but only if I had the money to fix it up from the get go.
The reason I remain in San Diego is because I know the city well and my family is here. I can always ask my brothers to watch my home and check my mail.
For those who want easy access to an international airport, Playa/Marina Del Rey (in LA) is a nice place.
Raleigh/Durham would be my other choice city that meets the criteria of this thread. Plenty of tech jobs there.
