Moving to San Diego | Why Do People Leave San Diego?

[@robgigabyte580]

Biggest thing I noticed is companies are moving out of California due to the taxes which = less jobs. Add that to affordable housing exodus.

[@danny_quesada]

Thats a great point as well. This is a common trend specifically in Los Angeles/Bay Area. Where they had to move to attract more talent. A lot of those people actually relocated to San Diego in 2020 & 2021. We'll see if they end up moving elsewhere...

[@Martini923]

Left and moved to Italy, and no regrets Europe❤

[@nsanenthembrane]

Through a spousal visa?

[@guizot2010]

I grew up in San Diego and eventually had to leave it was so complacent. I get bored whenever I go back. It's like Mayberry RFD with a million people.

[@SamplingPercussion]

I called that place home for a solid 12 years, repeatedly returning with the aim of solidifying my presence. San Diego, however, tends to operate within tight-knit circles. Success often pivots on networking and relationships, where the key to unlocking opportunities is intricately tied to the people you're connected with. It's a city that demands a well-established social network or strong family ties to swing open doors. Navigating this lively yet challenging urban environment proves to be quite the challenge without some meaningful connections. If you're not financially well-off, you'll find yourself putting in double the effort, while others casually enjoy patios and indulge in $18 drinks. You might even find yourself sharing living spaces with individuals you wouldn't spare a second glance at in a grocery store. Making it work in this demanding city is no walk in the park, but it's not impossible.

THIS! Couldn't have said it any better.

How’s our “ perfect” SoCal weather working out these day?

[@eatchiles]

6:02 Wow, if the claim is an amendment to the state constitution is 500 times since California's statehood in 1850, that would be just under 3 changes per year there is an amendment on average.. Stay safe people, print more money to pay taxes, live for the state and robust government you are nurturing. May you always be affluent.

[@jondough2866]

San Diego is cool when you’re comfortable with your life situation. It’s not the city to make money like LA.

[@ck4m784]

thanks so much from europe! always interested to learn about places

[@danny_quesada]

Thanks for watching!

[@tinabelair5693]

Sunny here all times sometimes get cloudy day yes not that much as you say

[@definitiveenergy1878]

I'm one that left SD. California's ruined, not the beauty, climate, ocean, it's all still there. It's the tyrants in Sacramento, always has and apparently always will be...it's sickening. Forgot to say that I'm also a business owner.

[@OldsmobileCutlassSupremeConver]

You said it like it is. We here in San Diego vote for every tax increase, and the city never forgets to propose a new tax or fee when it's time to vote. Forget the apartment rental business now. It's a Sucker's Bet. With the Attorney/Advocate Eviction Mob running in the background.

[@brunodesousa3772]

Thanks Danny. Nice to know

[@danny_quesada]

Yes sir! Thanks for watching!

[@eriks8382]

if anyone is wondering about moving to san diego, just move to LA County or Orange County. You get all of the good parts of san diego, beach cities outdoor events and weather PLUS social events, a much more vibrant economy and a road system that wont completely violate your car's suspension system.

[@manny7662]

What about Irvine California?

[@the_letter_b]

@@manny7662 It's supposedly one of the best areas in that region, they likely meant it too.

[@the_letter_b]

Yeah, for most single people, LA is likely a better bet. San Diego looks nice but is missing a lot that LA has and seems to have more of a family orientation not known for being a hot spot for single 20 somethings to flock to, though I'm sure some do plus college students sticking around after graduation. Also, I think more of the beach area is swimmable around LA, not that the water is always clean and it tends to be cold, but maybe a higher percent of beach area around SD is rocky and full of seals. That said, I think SD is still a top city so if circumstances bring you there or that is more your vibe, no reason to think it'll be horrible.

[@austincolyer1977]

The buildings aren't going up because the crazy codes and permits that California has, not just SD. The fact that more residential buildings are put up in NYC annually than LA, SF, and SD combined is ridiculous. That shows how strict their permits are. NYC has far less land than all of these places.

[@Blade_jr]

Most people in San Diego don't live there they have to move to Tijuana or leave because of the prices it's crazy. But I will always love the land I was born on. There really is no other reason to leave, new construction is happening all over San Diego??? So I disagree with that.

[@slotrane8853]

I love San Diego. Went there for the first time two years ago and fell in love. It’s an impossibility for us to buy (which makes me sad). However, who is a buying a 1300sq for 1.3 million? Like what are the occupations of the buyers?

[@danny_quesada]

Most of the people I'm seeing purchase homes have bought in the years prior and are utilizing equity to put as a down payment... In addition to that, they also have high paying jobs (engineers, doctors, business owners, etc)

[@bestdealsfind3705]

lived in PB from 91 to 99 steps from the beach & bay and loved it., the vibe, the weather, the scenery, the paved paths along all the beaches. Missed a chance to buy a place there when it was affordable & I had money but squandered it, being too young & inexperienced to know better. Years later really missing living in SoCal and its just out of reach for me now. Looking to hear that it sucks now so I can give up the idea. Some people say its not what it used to be and its only getting worse because of high costs, traffic, homelessness, crime, open borders, corrupt government etc. If you’ve lived there many years & own a property with low taxes, or you’re rich, you could still be living the dream. If not it may suck. Do you think it sucks now or still awesome ? (please dont say its awesome, I have to stop missing it so much) 😀

[@danny_quesada]

Haha I think it's really going to depend on every individual persons experience. San Diego has been home to my and my family for over 28 years. I can't see myself anywhere else and absolutely love what we have to offer. There are some cons such as pricing, taxes, etc, but I could not imagine not living here. My experience has been great

[@alexwallace6120]

It's too bad that it has become almost unfordable for the poor and middle class. I have a friend who owns a home in La Mesa, rents out another home in Lemon Grove, and rents 2 small apartments in University Heights. He also works full-time and so does his partner. This friend inherited oil stocks/money which helped him greatly. I lived there in 1988,and they were just building up Downtown. It was affordable and a bit funky. I had not trouble affording rents or with roommates in Hillcrest, Mission Hills, and North Park. I once went to a dinner party in Kensington couple had a beautiful home with a pool. Back then it looked expensive. Now?

[@danny_quesada]

Thank you for sharing Alex! Just in the last three years the areas you mentioned have completely blown up in terms of price and desirability. More to come on where the opportunities here in San Diego are though. Although they are limited they are out there.

[@TeresaJeanna]

I’m leaving because I want to get married. Many men in San Diego have Peter Pan Syndrome. With the laid back beach lifestyle, many men are in no rush to settle down. There’s vague hangouts instead of real dates, lack of effort, big stoner weed culture, polyamory, “ethical non monogamy”, and just overall lack of ambition. Many men decide to finally settle down in their 50s and 60s (with a much younger woman). I thought maybe there was just something wrong with me until I started traveling. In other cities, many men are very direct with me, asking to take me out to dinner.

[@julienalexander6113]

I know a whole bunch of political reasons not to move to Florida. That state is horrendous.

[@danny_quesada]

I can agree that it depends largely on who you are and what you value. Definitely had people move from here to there and vice versa

[@cristinaorlando2408]

Absolutely it’s even worse

[@elizabethpeterson455]

Florida is a free state...it's governor is at the best level for getting rid of the woke, or super liberal politics. California is the worse for its horrendous political structure. I love San Diego and rented there when costs were cheap. When Democrats took over prices went through the roof, and people became more homeless. Plus the illegals are pouring in and bringing with them illness, drugs, street living, and medical problems galore. The liberals love high taxes and big government and that means disaster for small businesses to even stay open. It is so sad. Bring conservatives back and you will see economic improvement.

Unless you make a minimum of 100K a year you're not going to live there, not everybody, but you are largely judged on what kind of vehicle you drive the clothes you wear and how much money you are perceived to have,
