I am considering applying for a job there but to be honest I am not a sunny, warm weather person. What's the temperature usually like? is it dry heat or high humidity and what is living in California like in general compared to say, NYC?

San Diego is perfect weather 82 deg with a light breeze

Its what you can call perfect year around weather

It's a great climate. That dark cloud that follows you around would definitely stand out.

i usually go, for the
Gas Lamp District
San Diego Padres vs Dodgers
Sea World
Zoo
Charges vs Raiders
kansas City BBQ (filmed Top Gun there)

Its really a nice city, Thoe the Gas Lamp has turned to kind of a Mini Skid Row with all the bums

if you dig the East, why not try to get a company to sponsor you and head to toronto? i couldn't get a firm to bite.

anyway, i'm in diego next month.

plan on Big Pimping with our overlord Ron in LA.

San Diego is one of the coolest places I've been to. Honestly, if I could choose one city to live in worldwide, it would probably be San Diego.

Honest question Deicide: Are you running away from something? And who's financing your "lifestyle"?

Bursche, I am looking for jobs, there is one in San Diego that seems cool that I am qualified for but I am not too keen on the place. That's all my question was about.

I have never felt at home anywhere, but I spent my childhood in New York.

To be honest I am really keen on a job I applied for in Cologne, because it sounds cool and I have friends there. The San Diego one sounds cool too but I would prefer a place like Cologne.

San Diego have year round a climate that feels like you are inside a climate controled enviroment...the perfect Humidity, the perfect temperature, at night long sleeves feel good even in the summer.

Just be sure the job pays enough.

You, Tom, and a million other people. When you have a firm job offer in hand, let's talk. Otherwise keep daydreaming.

If you make $50,000 in Houston,...you have to make $73,000 in San Diego to have a similar lifestyle.

The gestalt is that San Diego is 46% more expensive overall; Housing is 115% more expensive.

could not find a calcualtor comparing London, United Kingdom and Sand Diego...

Looks like I'll be in Mira Mesa but it's close to work and the university. Expensive as hell vs Chula Vista, N City and Bonita.

I am sure it is cheaper than both NYC and London.

But is SD conducive to productive morning dumps?

San Diego is an awesome city but like Nails mentioned the bums have been getting out of control these past years. Otherwise it's a great place to live. Beautiful weather, women, affordable in many areas etc. Much better than LA and if you don't want the suburban feel a lot better than OC. I love SD. Just a very diverse crowd down there than the OC and LA.
