Living in Southern California?

[Dozyproductions]

Yeah, I didn't spend much time in PB or Gaslamp for that reason. Whole lot of self-important LA dbags that don't amount to anything more than a bunch of clowns that are living well beyond their means (or living off the parent's paycheck) and have an entitlement complex.....then again, what 20-something kids these days don't? Not really worth my time. SD was still a good experience, I just spent most of it either on Coronado, or at La Jolla and north.

haha, some people who know me from this forum can have a laugh at some one telling me all this :) Living in PB it just changes you man, it must be the syphilis in the water. SD is a great place though, just not for me for ever.

I wrote U huge page on why not to move or come To California than erased it.I'm getting out trust me it is not the place to live anymore that changed 10 years back .

I'm sure there are people out there who don't like San Diego, but I haven't met any of them :)

I love it. I got out of the military here back in 98 and just never left. Once you're here long enough, you figure out which parts of town to stay away from.....luckily, there are twice as many good parts than bad, IMHO.

Southbay ftw. Its nicer ( no offence to any other LA areas ) Like deathtroll said, stays much cooler all year round. Ocean is mins away.

I have a few friends in the South Bay Area they say its really nice

[e30e]

I work in all over cal and the general attitude I get where ever I go is a superiority complex. People are generally friendly if I ask a question about how great/nice things are but if you ask about why shit is stupid here, its war. I love the scenery/weather that is it. The freeways suck, the laws suck, the cost of living is retarded, they have close to five dollar gas right now, bankrupt cities, murder capitols of the country reside in this state, their guns laws are dumb, and half the state doesn't speak English (I'm not racist but if I ask a question at a gas station I need to speak 4 different languages and I'm from Arizona where most people speak Spanish). Speed limits are a suggestion, half the population does 10 under in left lane, trucks in the middle land passing them, and the other half doing 20 over in any lane.

Let's put it this way.

If it's 98 in Santa Clarita it's 90 in SFV

If it's 90 in San Fernando Valley it's about 75-78 in long beach.

The problem is if it's about 72-70 during the day at night you will need a jacket as the temp can even hit the fifties.

I also noticed that gas prices are a tad lower here. it's usually 10-15 cents per gallon less.

I had to move down here from SFV because of a new career opportunity (this was five years ago)

Now I can never go back to the valley. Just too hot and and crowded for me.

I must admit though , the car scene is ALOT stronger in SFV than in the south bay.

From what I've experienced, the beach communities are the most enjoyable/relaxing.

I live in south Orange County (Mission Viejo) and prefer San Clemente, Dana Point, Laguna, and New Port. Yes, the cost of living/gas/consumer goods is fucking ridiculous. But once you're used it all, or able to afford it, life is great. I'm about an hour north of San Diego and an hour South of LA, so during the weekends I have three great choices of where to be.

If I personally had the choice, I'd move to San Francisco. It's always entertaining up there.

Good luck with the decision.

I agree on living in San Francisco Its nicer but only thing is its even more expensive .I lived in these cities,San Clemente,Laguna Niguel,Mission Viejo,Aliso Viejo,Huntington beach,redondo beach,Torrance,Carson,Playa Vista,Marina Del rey,Palos Verdes,Rolling Hills,Tustin and Santa Ana .If You have the money Living by ocean is best weather 7-10 degrees cooler.
California is great If your rich.The middle class income starts at 150,000 k so if you are not making that your poor here.It is over populated ,over priced,under payed,over polluted,And the border's from mexico are now past LA.

[e30trooper]

How do you live in so many places ?

[carfantiti]

moved allot lol.Lived in over 30 homes in my life.

[phreshkid]

I like Huntington Beach. Wake up, check the surf, surf, make burritos shirtless, sometimes I'll grill pig, go to school to learn stuff, work by the port where international
Business is booming, and then sleep in my wonderful bed where I get to sleep and wake up and do it all over again.

Grew up in sandiego/orange county.

was paying 1805/mo for a 2 bedroom 2 bath apartment in south OC.

I decided to say eff this, and moved to the PNW.

But I will return to San Diego someday because there is no better place in the world to be.

[giantkeeper]

Lived in Carlsbad for a few years when the wife and I first started dating. Loved EVERYTHING about the experience but the traffic.

Once the right opportunity comes up we will move back.
