Voted Florida b/c there is plenty of room to grow. In SoCal you are backed up against the mountains (and behind that the desert, where most Californians don't want to live).
I lived in SD for a couple of years, and in 29 Palms for about 3 years, and about one year in Tampa, Florida.
FL has a lower cost of living, and no state income tax. CA is expensive. FL housing is less expensive.
There is surfing and tons of water sports in FL, and I would venture to say that more peope in FL take part in some sort of water (ocean) activity than do their SoCal counterparts.

Really? When I was there, I noticed a continuous line of I.E. towns all the way to San Gabriel pass (where there is a transition to desert). Hell, it seemed that the towns melted into each other on I-10 all the way to the pass. Even Riverside County is getting huge growth in the interior (like Temecula and Hemet.) No more room to grow in SD County. I still don't see much more room to grow!

Well, you gave me the opportunity. I.E. has bad smog from LA b/c of coastal winds blowing the smog into the I.E.. Also read an article about a month back stating that the I.E. has a really bad gang problem spilling over from LA, such as in San Bernardino.
