An hour away..... where's that?

I live in SD and have to laugh because yes we do have mountains, oceans, desert closeby, and all the outdoor activities you can imagine (surfing, swimming, biking, climing, running, snowboarding, etc etc) but who the heck does all this? Truthfully, nobody I know. Most people are working alot more than 40 hours a week just to afford living here...

I live about 1 mile from the ocean and I rarely go to the beach, although I do see the ocean every day (maybe I'm just taking it for granted). Most of these activities mentioned are for the very young (teens and 20's). Once you hit your 30's, get married and have kids all those activities go out the window and you are just working and taking care of your kids. Personally, I couldn't care less what the RAVE scene is, I really want to know where the closest Target and Home Depot are! The weather is the big draw here...no extremes.

....yeah.

Can't really talk about the "random violence" thing since San Diego is considered one of the safest cities in the country and Dallas.... isn't.

I live in the DFW area, but there is hardly anything comparable to San Diego in terms of scenery and weather.

If money were no object San Diego without question.

In the real world, its a harder question to answer.
