[quote=Nor-LA-SD-guy][quote=briansd1]Compared to other cities, San Diego is a very large city (the distances are longer that LA) bisected by freeways, hills and canyons.
Because of that, people don’t drive to parts the city that they don’t frequent. I’m willing to be bet that the majority of people who live in Carmel Valley have never been to Encanto or South Park.
Other cities have long boulevards that cross the whole city, and you may have to drive through the city to get to places.
Dallas, Houston, Atlanta, Charlotte, Raleigh, Orlando, Tampa (where the weather is warm, the economy is good and growing, and the costs are lower) are good cities to raise a family on a comfortable middle class income.[/quote]
Hmmm Economy good and growing ???
The jobless rate in the Tampa Bay area was even higher – 12.4 percent, the same as in November.
