Hate to say it but Josh nailed it. I have been all over this fair land and SD offers an unparalleled lifestyle for people who live an active lifestyle. Great beaches, great waves, great hiking, great biking, great schools, quality health care, young vibrant well educated residents, good jobs, professional sports, within 2 hours of snow sports, desert sports, natural beauty, 2 hours from entertainment capital of the world, ez access to Vegas, HI and Baja CA. Honestly, what else could you want? And we have all of it. Sure its expensive here. Nothing great is cheap. Any bellyachers should take the first bus out to Omaha. Cardiff understand what he is leaving behind and we all should have more respect for the great place we have the privilege of residing in.

P.S. You notice I didnt even pull out the W word which is what allows you to enjoy all of the above virtually 365 days a year.
