I like both OB and PB since I am a single guy in my 30’s and its my scene to have fun on weekends and the beach cannot be beat.
For me, I would actually rather have a place in PB because there are more abundance of hot young women, parties and beach than weed smoker hippies in OB.
Hoping that prices fall eventually there where I can afford a small 2 bedroom townhome with a garage. I dont need a palace to be happy just a decent sized place bigger than the 1 bedroom apartment that I have now. It would be awesome to walk around PB on weekends without need to deal with parking or driving while imbibing cocktails.
I have lived in Del Mar, CV, East County and OB/Point Loma in past 4 years here in San Diego and like the fun times for a single guy best in OB and PB.
