Biggest con - expensiveeeeee!!!

[@lifeinsandiego]

Truth!

[@omarvargas6534]

Just wanna add on about traffic that there is no fast lane. Please don’t left lane cruise unless you’re passing guys and you’ll never notice the crazy drivers :)

[@SuperMassman]

☝️😝 💵Money 💵solves all problems no matter where you live. If your barely getting by, under stress, dealing with long work ours, traffic, etc,, then even living in heaven will seem like Hell.

[@lifeinsandiego]

I can definitely agree with that!!!

[@norwegianblue2017]

The only way you're going to get a detached, single-family home for $800k is if it is in a bad neighborhood or at the extreme ends of the county, or is bungalow size like 1000-1200 sf. I live in east county in a 1950s built home and it is worth about $1.1 million.

[@LowKey201]

How is East San Diego? El Cajon Blvd little Saigon, saw an affordable apt

[@star_platinum2821]

here are a few more cons, income tax, Mella-roos tax, insurance companies leaving and raising rates, fires, mudslides, earthquakes, homeless, and don't forget the sunshine tax

How is Poway?

[@lifeinsandiego]

We’ve got a few videos on the channel that breakdown Poway. Overall, families seem to like it!

[@visiondis]

@@lifeinsandiego I am looking at mission valley west to. Something about that area keeps reeling me in.

[@repns]

No mention of the public transit system, which is pretty good. And no mention of the homeless problem, which is pretty bad.

[@lifeinsandiego]

We’ve got a lot of videos on our channel that talk about both of those topics. Thanks for watching!

[@norwegianblue2017]

Unlike LA and the Bay Area, things are improving with the homeless situation due to new city legislation.

[@sirennoir258]

Our household is 190k for four people in San Diego and we are poor.

[@norwegianblue2017]

I always tell people they need a household income of $150k-$200k to live a reasonable middle class lifestyle in San Diego. Even more if you have kids.

Hey Nicholas , really nice video ! I was wondering if I could help you with more Quality Editing in your videos and also make a highly engaging Thumbnail which will help your videos to reach to a wider audience ? Please Lmk what do you think ?

[@dailyrider2975]

"is breathing worth it?" "Is eating worth it?" "Is getting up in the morning worth it?" "is the moon worth it?" "Is being human worth it?" So many questions, so many endless possibilities for videos with "Worth it?" as clickbait tag line. Well done!

[@jordan93101]

Debating between Santa Barbara and San Diego..

[@lifeinsandiego]

Santa Barbara is gorgeous - probably slightly higher when it comes to home & rent prices than SD.

[@franciscodukes9872]

Santa Barbara is way better

[@mrj0hnster]

760 is not San Diego city.

[@omarvargas6534]

There is no “San Diego city”. And 760 is north San Diego county. 760/619/858

[@norwegianblue2017]

@@omarvargas6534 LOL, of course there is a San Diego city! Population 1.3 million. If you live in one of these zip codes, you live in the City of San Diego: 92101-92124, 92126-92132, 92134-92140, 92142-92143, 92145, 92147, 92149-92150, 92152-92155, 92158-92161, 92163, 92165-92179, 92182, 92186-92187, 92191-92193, 92195-92199

[@franciscodukes9872]

There’s is no San Diego city?

[@privacyisfreedom760]

Pros: weather, food, community colleges, beaches, good looking (albeit shallow) humans Cons: you can't afford any of the above while also purchasing a home so who cares lol

[@austinstitzel]

I'm going to guess that you are an Aquarius.

[@lifeinsandiego]

Nope, Virgo!

[@franciscodukes9872]

San Diego sucks, don’t move here.
