I don’t get all of the hatred leveled at the nicer urban/walkable and beach areas of San Diego on this site. Why can’t a livable city have nice beaches as well? — “city” and “beach resort” don’t need to be mutually exclusive, especially in a place like SD where the nice beaches aren’t an hour and a half out of town like in NY or Boston.
And imagine being able to take your kids for an evening bike ride, swim, or sail when you both get home from work and school. Instead of having them play video games and gradually turn into fat porkmuffins.
As far as price, people here routinely talk about dropping $500k to $1MM on housing inland, so what gives?
