What are people talking about?

Ren, I dont think your goldylocks city exists. Everywhere has its problems, and you can always find them if you want to look. San Diego has June gloom or excessive heat, no seasons, a total lack of greenery and trees, Humidity and thunderstorms, Santa Anna’s that rival hurrican winds, Fire’s that burn the county down, earthquakes, Land slides, Fighter jets that feel it is ok to buzz buildings at 11:30pm………….. you name it and someone can find it. Even here in San Diego, where apparently everything is perfect.

In the late 80’s/early 90’s everyone from CA was leaving to go to Seattle and Portland. (No state income tax in WA, no sales tax in OR.) Houses were much more affordable… as with any supply & demand – housing prices promptly went up… pissing off the locals. (I was someone who moved up North at the time – to take a job… I’d been downsized here in San Diego… took me 12 years to get back to my native San Diego.)

There will always be people moving out of California and into California.

I’ve lived in San Diego, Bellingham, WA, Philadelphia, and Atlanta… I liked them all except Atlanta. ALL of them were cheaper than San Diego. But only San Diego has the beaches and year round weather.

[quote=nostradamus]For active people it just doesn’t get any better than SD. If you like sports and staying in shape, this is the place to be.

I would consider moving, but then I see the fat people talking about life in the South or Midwest…

I almost got in a fight this weekend when someone tried to steal my volleyball and the dude called me a “20-year-old-jerk”. It wasn’t a very good insult considering I’m 37 but I do lots of sports in SD and he was clearly a tourist from elsewhere (paunchy, pasty, and white).

Maybe it’s good that we don’t have the best restaurants in the world, yet another reason to keep us in shape.

Sorry for all the geographic fatness generalizations, feel free to thrash me for it.[/quote]
You can be active in the midwest and south, I think the fatness is more about culture regarding eating and food choice. Yes, you have the beautiful weather and beaches for year round activity in San Diego, but I don’t think you have the worshipping of high fat foods like you have in other regions. Also, I think there are cultural attitudes about physical appearance – like being able to look good in a bikini on the beach.
