San Diego is one of the best climates on the planet. It has a wide diversity of jobs, and is simply a very very VERY nice place to live. The median home price has never matched up to any other averages, not now, not 10 years ago, not 20 years ago. It is doubtful that they ever will. There are plenty of affordable areas in San Diego but they may not be in neighborhoods that you want to live in. The market is set by the buyers not the sellers. The fact is that there are plenty of buyers willing to pay more as they have the means to be able to do so.
