ParticipantHi Edouard, Hang on to those euros! They hit record highs against the dollar every day and it just keeps on going. San Diego is tough, I don't think there is any one place that has all the things you are looking for. I live in Sorrento Valley but there is nothing to do there and nothing to eat. So I go to Clairemont or Hillcrest to eat but I wouldn't want to live in either of those places. When I want something to do I go to the beach or downtown or La Jolla, none of which are very close to where I live.
Why do you need a 3000sf house? Didn't you get used to small living in Paris? Check out this house, for me it's huge and it has a huge lot right on a canyon in a nice neighborhood close to UTC (near where I live):
Also check out this intro to urban sprawl, of which I think San Diego suffers:

ParticipantWe are here to destroy the planet and there is nothing to stop it. All other animals eat plants, poop out the nutrients which adds to the soil and is recycled once again into plants. When the animal dies it too is recycled in the soil. This is nature’s recycling. Humans eat everything, then chemically neutralize our poop and bury it or flush it into the ocean along with the chemicals. When we die we cremate our bodies. Thus we consume everything and return nothing to this earth. Accept it and quit the guilt trippin.
The whole green movement is a way of introducing the next wave of consumer products: “green” products. Soon all the labels in stores will have to have “green” on them so people will buy. Keeps the marketing machines churning. Hybrid cars, green products, and solar houses are it, to answer a frequent poster’s search for “the next big thing”. Gore and others are helping to ramp up this campaign.

ParticipantI agree and think America should go on hiatus from buying all non-essentials for a while. This era of rampant, debt-based consumerism is an abomination. Gotta get that new iPod, then whoa there’s an even newer iPod I gotta get now. Whoa, look at that new car stereo which I can plug my new iPod into! Gotta get it! Wii! Surround sound! Plasma! Hybrid! Navigation system! iphone! WTF!?

ParticipantWouldn't each upgrade cost you 6% anyways?
Only if you feel that a realtor is necessary.
If you have sufficient rainy day fund,
then you're not really stretching yourself are ya?
