Well we made the opposite move Denver to San Diego and so far enjoy it (but not everything...)

"Things you can do in Denver but not San Diego"
-Get altitude sickness. I never knew what this felt like until I moved to SD and travel back to Colorado, like I'm climbing Everest or something.
-Pay almost 50% less for real estate! This should be PRO number one on your list for moving to Colorado. Imagine having 2-3 times the amount of space for almost 50% less than SD! Cheaper gas, food and better shopping in Colorado (not so picked over and you don't have to trek all across town for shopping).
-Get snowed in. I mean really snowed in, not like a dusting of snow in Julian and they cancel school. Every once in awhile there's a good blizzard to prevent you from backing out of your garage. Few and far between though.
-Use a garage for it's intended purpose of parking cars in it!
-Honk and get honked at! There must be a little surfer in everyone that lives here, I very rarely hear people honk in SD.
-Liberally apply and re-apply lotion all day long during the winter. Just exchange sunscreen for lotion. Though you'll also get burned while clearing snow so you'll need both!

I love how this turned into who has better beer by they way. I do admit, I really like some of the breweries in SD!

I would rather swim in the stinky ocean. It is more stinky in Mexico and the LA beaches.

San Diego isn't humid. And the only time it's 90 or above is when the Santa Ana winds blow, which means its extra dry.

Compared to Denver it most certainly is. The lower temps don't make it feel as humid, but it's there.

San Diego

Denver


In fact, San Diego's a lot closer to Miami

Growing up in San Diego I never considered it humid. My first trip to San Diego after moving to Denver I felt the humidity for the first time. That being said it is nothing compared to other parts of the US.
