Born and raised in SD. Great video. I agree 110% percent about how expensive it is. I will admit, you get what you pay for. Weather is amazing, job opportunity is great, there is also so much diversity on culture and by wealth. Everyone has a place of welcome here. The opportunities are grand with so many colleges here in this fine ass city. It’s just how you want to take your life to the next level each and every time. If you are into photography, the open front to hidden gems of places you can capture! We have big military bases and it’s not far from other cities at all! Road trips are beautiful and so are staycations. The food, let’s just say the best melting pot of places you can get. You name it, we have just about every cultured cuisine here! Wishing you the best if you decide to work it out in SD!

[@oscarcastillo340]

U think is worth it moving over there

[@MrsBraxtonChrist]

I’m moving there in the next few months. I know you are 100% right about having to know somebody in San Diego to make moves because I’ve tried to apply to Jobs there while I’m still out of state and heard nothing but crickets back. Same with my friend. We were in the same boat and then suddenly one of the girls she was in a sorority with who lives in San Diego hit her up to come interview at the law firm she works at there. Suddenly she had a job that fast. If you know somebody out there you’ll be fine. If not you better have your money together.

[@marpar3971]

SD is clean ! SF and OAKLAND Bay Area is hella dirty . i was just down there visiting family . i love the filipino area in national city all the restraunts , and original foods from the motherland .only problem is the jobs pay shitty .out here we getting 56.00 hr for journyman union worker . out there they use mexicans so the labor for constructions dont pay shit down there

[@Eric.Morrison]

Recently moved out of SD and just to add: It's more diverse the farther south you go. Downtown is pretty mixed, and everything south is more black and Latino. "East county" is all white, and less educated the farther you go. "North county" is white and Asian and where all the money is. On the coast is where you have all the frat bros, hippies, yuppies, tourism and commerce. People are friendly and they drive well, but there is a lot of narcissism and vanity that makes it feel like there isn't a sense of community there. As you said downtown is the only place to really hang out, as the rest of the metro is sprawling suburbia. Lots of people love it, but it's definitely not for everyone.

I live on the island of Kauai. I am moving to SD next month. I just spent a few days in SD looking for housing for me my two daughters and my wife. It’s all relative. During my three days in SD I felt like I was living in a clearance sell. Everything is so much cheaper than kauai, well other than housing. Housing is comparable to Hawaii but you get a much nicer place for the money in SD. The food in SD is 50-75% cheaper than kauai.... If you want something bad enough you make it happen. I see a lot of negative comments about how expensive it is, that’s just a poverty or lack mindset. I couldn’t afford kauai by any means when I moved here 3 years ago and I struggled for the first 2and 1/2, but I stayed and pushed through and now I’ve hustled my way to easy living in paradise, so that means, on to the next challenge. Comfort is the enemy of growth and greatness, it’s a sign that it’s time to push yourself. I cannot wait to get to San Diego and dominate that place too! Anything is possible for those of us that have the wear with all to make it happen. Thanks for the video my man, hopefully I run into you when I get there .... peace and love bruh.....

[@SandCrabNews]

I'n born and raised in California. I should've paid more attention to Spanish class in 7th-8th grades. I discovered I had learned enough to get in trouble in a Tijuana bar. My main fast food is Mexican and I have the sweetest lady a few doors down and we speak Spanish in passing. I'm living west of the freeway east of the railroad tracks, but only about 1,500 feet from one of the top 5 beaches in the US. Gas prices today are about $3.43 for Regular. California has 2 types of gas, the Summer blend being more expensive. Freeway traffic depends on time of day and direction of flow. I like to get off the freeway and drive the coast when I'm not in any hurry. San Diego County is in a Mediterranean climate and has beaches, inland valleys, foothills, pine tree topped mountains and deserts. On the same day you can swim, surf, dive in the ocean, go hiking or snow skiing in the mountains or play in the desert sands. My best days for grocery shopping are Saturday or Sunday before 10 a.m. or Wednesday or Thursdays.

Cost of living is more here but the pay is a lot more. Make sure you have a good job lined up before moving out here or it will be rough. As far as the traffic goes, I feel like people are bigger jerks now on the road but there's a lot more people moving here from other states too. We are much more relaxed here probably because there's a ton to do an the weather is great!

Good for you to move someplace different and a great place as well. I cannot afford to move to San Diego but I'm going to go there for at least 2 years just to enjoy the nice people/weather. After that prolly back to some boring cold place lol. Oh yeah, people love your accent because it sounds so different and friendly. You've already got friends there, congrats!

[@dan0010]

Dude you are outstanding and yes we love the way you talk.

[@terrishahill35]

So true! Cost of living is crazy but we are used to it but if your not it's mind blowing! But no downtown isn't the only party place lol

[@jenniferwilliams8546]

TERRISHA HILL definitely not

[@nycsuperagent]

@@jenniferwilliams8546 my friends and I are coming to San Diego in 2 weeks from Aug 16th to 19th. Where else to party and enjoy other than gaslamp? U have any specific spots we should check out?

[@kjdinoc]

We are thinking about going the opposite direction. Georgia is sooo much on my mind these days. SD is just too damn expensive now.

[@flipthevideoguy7560]

Kevin Danker. You're going to freaking love Georgia so much if you can deal with the traffic there's so many things to do

[@RoxyandChris]

Had a week vacay stayed in a hotel in chula vista. Im from Louisville KY and the folks there are super friendly even strangers. And the weather so good it made you wanna obey the laws and follow the speed limits. Not to mention the endless activities the city offers Definitely moving here once i graduate

[@jesus4lyfe00]

The weather has people in good moods all the time..

[@kimboo4688]

My sister is moving to SD next month and I'm following her next year from Indianapolis !😜so excited!!!!

[@lennarthomas]

Issa Filter What part are you moving to?

[@JalissaHunn]

Do u like it ?? I currently live in Indianapolis and I really want to move to San Diego but scared ! Lol

[@nogimbal4217]

I live in San Diego and its by far one of the best places in the US

[@austinwoodruff9015]

Lovely Tae me too! I’m from Indy and want to move to SD.

[@Caribbean_King]

Kim boo So!? How's the life in SD??

[@expendable4h002]

Welcome to America's Finest City... Gas hits $4+ a gallon in the summer. CA has seasonal blends where we have to refine the oil and import it and export it out of the state. We pay almost a $1 in taxes per gallon.

[@barano9729]

I’ve seen a few friends leave San Diego with their tale between their legs. Not for the faint of heart. Money talks. You can be fine as fuck, ain’t gonna help.

[@Ryan-jx4vh]

You will have to move to the Inland Empire.. think Temecula if you are a normal Joe. Houses are high even there, but nothing like San Diego. You won't come here and get ahead, forget it. You better have money and be prepared to spend it. There is a lot to do and the weather is great, but the high costs make so many people leave.

[@marcusmckie]

i just bought a 3400 sqft house in Temecula lol. waaaay cheaper than Diego. The only thing that sucks is the commute i make everyday to work since my job is in San diego. San Diego houses are just too much for so little.

[@Ryan-jx4vh]

marcus mckie So many commuters in Temecula going to Diego. I still shake my head at people dropping $500k on a run down tiny house there. I just don’t get it. We haven’t had a recession in what a decade? I think a lot of those people who bought those shacks at the top, may end up losing big dollars in the next downturn. It is really scary to think about.

[@Contreras-z4e]

I from sandiego move like 11 years ago to riverside now to lake Elsinore. I miss sandiego but I got used to living out here and made my life out here

[@TemeculaDoug]

Sadly the drive sucks from Temecula to SD.. Be aware their are NO jobs in Temecula unless you want to work a retail job. So you must commute North or south to SD. Did it for 3 yrs..Yes, the houses were bigger BUT the cost the same you'll spend 2 hrs a day 5x a week driving and sitting in traffic on return trip home north thats 10 hrs a week in traffic and away from your kids/ family (your mental health will suffer) and then the wear and tear on car and gas tank a week (oil change 1x per month, tires 1x a year) so after all is said and done, moving to Temecula area sucked....by the time you do all this, its easier to stay in SD and cheaper!! YMMV

[@kobenbawest]

Just got back from SD - Stayed in Boulevard Park area - real cool. Ate @ the Fish market right off Logan & Euclid, but that's hood stuff. SD got a lot of constructive activities too. Nice place to hustle, but cost of living is high.

[@matt7iron]

soon as i saw that street Logan in San Diego you brought back memories, but i was born there in 1960 until 1972, then moved to the bay area, I lived between Logan and national and SW 40th St. I'm black and we were some tough kids growing up, i don't see that anymore with kids.

Ocean view born and raised,y'all gotta check out waffle burger in Lincoln, or Canada steakburger in city heights, or miss pee wee's in Logan,all the down home style restaurants are closing,you got Bonnie jeans in Lincoln too,but I don't think they are not as good as when She ran the place, I think her grand babies run the place now

[@champtaylor4150]

I'm from Atlanta too and i was thinking about moving to San Diego it was like you were talking to me directly lol

[@eloycavazos2816]

Good advice man! Wish you and your family the best in SD!

[@sunsetsmoke29]

I’m sure rent has gone up tremendously now in 2023

[@Musiquedecor]

hey bud, thanks for this video. I used to live in SD in 2001, im sure things have changed, but this vid gives me a good idea on how that change took place. much respect man. good luck with the biz and thanks again for your insight.

[@tylerdurden6729]

If san diego was the cost of ATL then it would be over populated. Supply and demand. Everyone wants Cali (highest pppulated state 3-5x more than other state) at almost 40mill, and san diego is #2 highest polulated city in cali. Just have to grind harder

[@flipthevideoguy7560]

You are so right I applaud your comment

[@WHITEKH18]

It’s been a year. Maybe an update is in order...? Registering vehicles, the DMV, tacos!! Lol! Welcome!! I did the same move from Florida a year ago... GL

$1500 a month is now the going rate for a room in San Diego with $6 gas.

Does that include utilities? electricity, cable, water?

Hope you remain fair honest and with common sense coming from Georgia I know Most southern blacks are very good people that love America I hope you don’t lose that. Please don’t change. There’s a lot of America haters here God bless you and yours

[@davidcrystal8886]

Gonna be real for a moment. All of you people who have dreams of living in Southern California, I have news for you: IT IS EXPENSIVE BEYOND WHAT YOU CAN IMAGINE. Do not move here unless you have financial security and a solid job, or else your life will suck and pretty much consist of working two jobs so you can afford rent and living expenses. Housing And rent costs here are insane and they're not going to go anywhere but up. Just be prepared. It's no joke

[@naturespleasantries]

You ain’t lied! I have family out there and it is expensive but it is BEAUTIFUL and the people are very nice

[@timothywayne3813]

One thing that all who seek to move here should know is that gas prices in San Diego are some of the highest in the nation. I used public transportation for ten years and it's pretty good. If you like to golf, it's heaven. As we like to say, "Just another day in paradise".
