Anyone else here want to leave SD for SF?

[CDMA ENG]

TheBreeze…

I’ll say what a lot of people are thinking. You’re an elitist jackass.

I rarely name call but you really ticked me off with your comments.

I love SF and hope to retire or work there one day but right now there are better opportunities here for me. I particularly take notice of your comment to the lack of education that people have here. What numbers do you have to support this? If you hadn’t notice there is a huge population of blue collar worker and unskilled labor there. Many people are just trying to survive anyway they can. So you have insulted, with your comments, everyone, the educated San Diegans and the under educated. It isn’t easy to live here without an education and decent salary so I have no I idea where all your So Cal loathing comes from.

And another thing, all these people that you claim to have “culture” I have had conversations with them in wine bars and galleries and it was clear to me that many of them had no education and was living off of old money. There are educated people there also but they usually aren’t trying to “play the part”.

So saddle up your high horse and ride north.

This kind of post is the reason I left the Bay Area. Wife (30), new daughter (9mon), and I (31) recently moved to SD. I lived in the Bay Area for 14 years.

Every friend of ours has been slowing leaving the Bay Area for years (except for the ones that had family there).

Yes, there are many things to do there, but it’s difficult to take advantage when both parents have to work 40-60 hours a week and have their child in day care full time.

Unless you’re making $200-250K household combined income, you’re basically poor and can’t afford a house. Amazingly with the price of homes, there are very few good school districts.

If you are okay with you and your wife having to work 40-60 hours a week and putting your children in daycare 40+ hours a week and living in a 1200sq. ft home ($800K+) with crummy schools, then I would suggest living there. If that quality of life doesn’t appeal to you, then I would move elsewhere.

Most of our friends and others in the Bay Area that we spoke to about our move to SD said they were jealous.

A colleague who moved down to SD put it well, he said the main difference between the bay area and SD is that in the bay area, all people talk about is their jobs or how much $ they make, where in SD it’s much more laid back and people are interesting in talking about other things that contribute to their quality of life.
