How’s San Diego?
I am making my final move in the US, I like to move to San Diego or Sacramento. Which is better and why? Currently we live in Dallas, Texas. TC 170k
San Diego is much better but much more expensive (at least the good parts). If you move there go to North San Diego around California Highway 56/La Jolla/La Costa Canyon. Those are pretty nice areas.
How come San Diego is more expensive?
Because it is less of a hellhole than Sacramento
If you are referring to Roseville (near Sacramento), it’s pretty good area. I personally liked the vibe and new developments happening around there. Schools are excellent. Growth/opportunities might be lesser compared to the Bay Area (for tech industry specifically) but I’d consider it as one of the places to retire.
The weather is certainly nicer in San Diego but I’ve also never had a piece of plywood come flying up off the highway and narrowly miss my windshield in Sacramento either. Consider what sort of work you want to do - I think both tend to have some hardware focused companies but in many ways job opportunities are more plentiful in San Diego.
Thanks how’s the crime rate?
Varies depending on where you live. Like I wouldn’t live in certain parts of Sacramento or Orangevale, that’s for sure.
Ew not Sacramento. The armpit of America is next door, Stockton , 3rd most violent crime rate in country. Definitely 100000 percent not even a question, San Diego is the better pick. Beaches, close drive to Los Angeles and Palm Springs.
LA not that close. especially with traffic. same as driving from sac to sf
SF is gross
Texas to CA, Interesting. Have seen people move from CA to Austin or Dallas for peace of mind. How about you?
What kind of peace of mind?
Less traffic, house prices, and taxes.
Lol is this a joke? sac is hell compared to SD
Seriously
Of course, its still in California. I said its not in the same league as SD. Sac gets super hot without proximity to the ocean. SD is a California dream with surfing, beautiful people and top notch mexican food. I was just focusing on the unequal comparison
San Diego is arguable one of the best cities in the USA!
San Diego is great to visit. I've never lived there but the weather is perfect and it has a laid back vibe
Key word: visit
SD weather is perfect every day. Too boring for my liking.
California is an illusion. It's a great state to visit but doesn't have enough resources to support more people. East coast is the more sustainable place to live. Suburban east coast is more affordable and has sufficient rainfall and less unpredictability in future weather (30-40 years from now).
Frozen tundra. No thanks.
Quite an insightful comment I’d say.
I was walking from a hotel to a chipotle and i felt my life in danger
are you serious?
... do not listen to this guy haha
