There are lots of beautiful places to live in the world, but, regardless of where we go, we always prefer being back in San Diego–for many of reasons. Everyone prefers different things in life, and just about any climate you might choose is
available–somewhere in the world.
Most of the people we know who have left San Diego have done so for financial reasons, and not because they wanted to leave. I think we’ll continue to see a lot of turnover in years to come as some realize they can’t afford to retire here, while others arrive and start the cycle all over again. It’s been that way for decades.
