If you make minimum wage then you need to move out of San Diego… Pure and simple…
CA for that matter… This is not a state for low income earners…
Hell I have wondered if it was a smart thing to do to continue to live here and I have a decent income.
Go somewhere you can make a decent living and stop drawing comparisons about COLA in SD.
Las Vegas is just across the hills and plenty of ppl make a nice living with no education and no real skills.
This whole discussion is analogous to one of us moving to Beverly Hills and complaining that 100K a year doesn’t afford us what we want there.
If you cant afford to live somewhere… go some place you can…
Plus there are a lot of comparisons of “Where I use to live then and now”… a lot of those place are dumps I am sure but I have lived in a lot of desirable dumps in my life too… They were desirable because of the 3 Ls… so that comparison is not really valid either… You think Mira Mesa is nice?!? Hell no… its a dump… but its a dump that is close to Qualcomm and while that fact remains it will continue to outpace the market… I am sure most of these comparison are similar…
Almost everything about California is an outlier argument…
As for minimum wage… I know just enough small business owners to believe “the Republican” argument of job destruction… but I would not debate for a second that the monopolization of wealth in this country will not have serious consequences…
