I meant the weather is about the same. Oroville has mild winters a little cooler and rains a little more but other than that not much difference really in climate. Of course the job market is better in San Diego but if I travel or work at home it matters not. People are friendlier too! Now the thing is: once I have the 2,000 square foot home built I can be free of debt and mortgage.
I will buy in San Diego if prices ever drop to 200-300k for a decent home. The only reason why I even moved to San Diego int he first place was that the tech jobs dried up in last recession in 2002 in bay area when I was working for a consultant company and living in Sacramento. Now that tech sector is back up, makes no sense to stay in San Diego if I never will be able to afford the purchase price of a real home.
