Yeah, but no one has to live in those extreme weather conditions. I lived in SD for 30 years but gave it up to move to South Carolina to ride out the economic storm. Although it’s not San Diego, our temperatures are reasonably comfortable most of the year (only July & August are not comfortable to me) since we live at the foot of the mountains about 50 miles below Asheville, NC.
During the 30 years that I lived in San Diego, I never stood in one of those lines but I knew more than a handful of people who did. Never understood it then and I really don’t understand the desire to buy in San Diego in the present economic climate. To each his/her own.
