You gave up your 7 yr. ARM, interest only, 400k mortgage, 10k/year property taxes/mello roos and cashed out in early 2006. You were making 90k a year, but not saving a penny, nor paying down your mortgage. You cashed out, moved out of state, and yet still have relatives telling you that “The Mexicans make it work, why can’t you?”
You know you are from San Diego IF
you don’t say “the 5” , “the 805” ,
“The 163” etc….
That migrated down from LA.
As a native born San Diegan, It still grates on me to
Hear someone say that

That’s pretty common in more than just LA.
When I was in Bellingham, WA there was a weird thing where roads/streets within the city were described without a “the” in front of them, but when the road crossed out of the city, into the county “the” was added to them.
So the same road would be “Guide-Meridian” in town, but became “The Guide-Meridian” as soon as you crossed the city boundary. Same with Chuckanut drive (which became “the Chuckanut Drive”). Drove me nuts for the several years I lived in Bellingham.

I first noticed that when I moved to LA in 1988 and yes it’s common here now too.
At least we (or the traffic reporters) haven’t named our freeways yet like:
Santa Monica Freeway
Hollywood Freeway
Golden State Freeway
San Bernardino Freeway
San Diego Freeway
Long Beach Freeway
Pasadena Freeway
