Funny how it even manages to be significantly less dense than San Jose.

However, I do appreciate how that place consistently demonstrates that Republicans can bankrupt a city as well as any Democrat. Thanks for blowing up that Fox News talking point, San Diego.

Actually it is more like Iowa beach.

It's the one-dimensional image that Iowans dream of when they think about California. Just golf courses and polo shirts, with company picnics on the beach. San Diego is peak existence for conformists and underachievers. #trump2016

Having grown up in the LA area and having lived in SD, I can attest to the fact that SD is probably the most over rated city in California.

Though the city does have a hot marketing team.

All these posters from fly over country do not realize that pretty much everyone moves to SD, lives there for a few years, and leaves once their military deployment ends. Or their roommates leave and they can no longer afford their SLUMpartment on a barista /Sea World wage.

The beach is great. You can do yoga and meditate, as you ponder the total lack of opportunity in the San Diego area. There is a poster in the SD forum who noted that even in tech SD companies pay much less than the do in LA, because there is an endless supply of new transplants from fly over country who compete for the low wage jobs.

That does not work in markets like San Jose or LA, where tech salaries command big money.

Kind of a dumb question but I think this thread is appropriate to ask: are Santa Clara County expressways any different than your average thoroughfare in San Jose?

Or do they not have sidewalks and are limited access except for major streets?

And we know most SJ hate here comes from those who are insecure about their education/career/salary. That's why they fall back into a high school mentality which says that Silicon Valley is a bunch of nerds who are totally missing out on the hater's grand social life. San Jose doesn't know how great the beach is, brah, because it's all the way over a hill and not in city limits!

Oh the irony given your posts in this thread.

Guess the comparison to San Diego gets under your skin more than usual if you actually write more than your typical snarky one-liner.

Yes I see your posts, I guess that's "monitors" to you? But back to the snarky one liners I see...

Kind of funny to see you flip your lid like this though.

If you had asked me a week ago about San Diego, I'd have said:

"Good beer; hope they keep the Chargers."

But in this mess of a forum, there will be mutually assured destruction. Throw bull**** one way and it will be thrown back. That's not flipping my lid, it's playing the part of a poster here. I've articulated multi-paragraph replies before, but it all bounces off empty heads.

Now go back to your beach volleyball game, and don't forget the chest bumps.

Its airport flies to many places in the world and is the most modern one. It's Santana Row/Valley Fair destroys San Diego's shopping. The weather is better in SJ during the summer since it's not fogging and gloomy like San Diego. It even has a better and more thoughtful downtown than San Diego, even though I think it's a tie. Can go and on

What kind of word is "fogging"? San Jose's summer nights are way too cold and you need a hoodie if you're going to hang outside past 7PM. A high of 85 is usually followed by a low of 55. Pools need heating to be swimmable even in the middle of the afternoon because they get too cold from the night air. San Diego gets some June Gloom and overcast days but it's a lot warmer than San Francisco. A typical overcast day will be around 66 in the morning and 72 in the afternoon. Come August, the June gloom is gone and we get warm and sunny days with highs in the low 80s followed by lows around 70. When did San Jose last have a night time low that warm that you could comfortably swim at 10PM or hang outside a bar in shorts and a tee shirt at midnight? Only thing you have on us is May and June. San Diego has far more winter days above 70F which is also rare in San Jose. You barely get more rain than us but you get a lot more cold overcast drizzle while in San Diego in winter, it can pour one day and be sunny and 68 the next.


Check out the weather stats for July through October and January through March and tell me if San Jose could EVER get anything like it.
