"how about going a little further south. San Diego, can't beat it."
dont get me started on that.
san diego is pretty much devoid of all culture (except the barrios)
it's crazy conservative, downtown is completely fabricated and lame, most neighborhoods are really just suburbs (think driving from one strip mall to the next to get pants and then shoes)
there are not many jobs worth a damn. Creatively rewarding jobs don't pay enough to survive. You can work corporate, or for warmongering government contractors.Rents are now more expensive than pretty much anywhere in LA.
the average shithole bungalo costs a half a million dollars (2-3 bd. 1-1.5 bath) to buy.decent music scene, but the hipsters are ridiculous.
worse art scene than pittsburgh, PA.
you still have to drive everywhere.
the beaches are nice, but they're full of honkeytonk marines, drunk hotties with no brains, joe whiteboys, and a bunch of tattooed loser surfer brahs...
i pretty much hate this place. it's beautiful here, and i've met some cool cool people (it took about 2 years though), but i don't think i'll stay much longer.
great place to raise kids though (granted you can afford a 750,000-1.5 mil dollar home. not kidding)...
unless you surf or have a trust fund, this 'city' is a joke...
