[quote=The-Shoveler]Really I think all of this applies to anywhere in Coastal in SoCal in good school districts (even some not so good).
Even in L.A.
It’s expensive to live along the SoCal coast!![/quote]
No doubt Shoveler…. the biggest difference is the job market seems to be better in LA vs. San Diego with a bigger diversity of industries as mentioned on this thread.
No way I’d want to live in LA. Traffic is horrendous. I do agree with you it’s not cheap there either…but the job market seems to be head and shoulders better.
I have some friends or friends of friends that lost their jobs in San Diego and can’t find another job to replace it in San Diego. Yet they can find jobs in LA and are forced to commute. That really speaks volumes to be how poor the market is here.
But I do agree with you about SoCal being expensive to live.
[quote=The-Shoveler]All this said, I do know several people who work in Irvine, and live in San Marco’s and Carlsbad area’s
(it’s about an hour commute most days).
Some people are willing to drive (especially if work at home at least part time is possible).[/quote]
Yep. Me too. Goes along the same lines of the job market here in San Diego being poor compared to other areas. I don’t think it’s so much a case of “willing” to commute an hour as it is “forced” to commute that distance.
