What to Do in San Luis Obispo, California | 36 Hours Travel Videos | The New York Times

[@phobowl]

every time i'm in SLO i feel my heart rate and blood pressure go down. I'm relaxed and mellow and at peace. Just love this area.

[@johnmcgraw1475]

Moving down here for college in a few days and I couldn't be more excited!

[@ryanfiscus4]

i lived in slo county for my first 21 years and im coming back for a few days to visit home, this video made me emotional and more excited to visit my real home

[@nyx8894]

I lived there for my childhood, and am so emotional about it because I want to be back

[@UIgnorantprick]

We moved because it was to small of a town and making money was getting harder and harder to come by.

I live in Texas. I visited the central coast for a work trip and was in love with the place. We had tri tip at several restaurants and it was always excellent. Fortunately, my grocery store does carry tri tip. I don't have the correct pit to cook it in the traditional way. What I do is smoke it over oak for an hour or so and then put it in a covered cast iron with on cut up onion at 225 in the oven for about six hours. It just falls apart. I then take the resulting broth and make chili gravy enchilada sauce and then make shredded trip tip enchiladas. My friends down here on the Mexican border of Texas are blown away.

I have to try that this weekend. Very creative and I live in SLO.

I passed through this city back in 90's and fell in with it, if it was not for California high taxes that was the place I wanted to live.

[@chriswesney]

I was born here, live here now but sadly I will likely not retire here. The liberal agenda in California has turned our little jewel into a haven for the homeless, illegals and leftists.

If you move here, good luck in trying to find a descent paying job. It's expensive to live here and if you plan in buying a home, get ready to donate a kidney for the down payment, unless you want to live in the slumps like Oceano or Santa Maria. It's nice to visit but developers are tearing up the place with new homes and hotels. They are ruining this place and will not be surprised if it becomes a mini-Los Angeles or mini-San Francisco in about 20 years from now. Traffic is getting worse and we don't have the infrastructure to support it. Our resources here are also getting scarce. The lake levels that feed water to the communities are extremely low but developers keep building.....smart move city leaders. Pathetic!

[@mida8261]

Update to my previous comment: Oceano and Santa Maria have been gentrified like crazy. It's no longer the "hood" that many people remembered it as 10-15 years ago. Even Nipomo turned into a posh town for rich snobs.

People who are saying they wish they could live here, then why don't you? My fiancé and I would vacation here during college and wanted to move here so after we graduated we did. Best decision of our lives. SLO is the happiest place to live in America. Little to no crime (I'm from the Bay Area so this was a big thing for me), 70 degrees year round, 20 minute drive to 7 different beaches, great places to eat, fantastic downtown slo. Just can't beat it anywhere.

[@allenarciga320]

Michael Montero i want to transfer to cal poly slo once i finish JC, and do you by chance know if i could live and survive there (say living in a studio) with some decent money? I also wanted to know if there is some cultural or ethnic diversity there... because based on this video, there doesn't seem a lot. Plus I have the feeling that a lot of old people live there and you know, like statistics show, there's a higher chance that elder people like Donald trump lol...

Its a nice city and a good county but unfortunately it falls prey to the political whims of the big boys in the bay area and LA. Sad really
