PLACES TO LIVE SORT OF LIKE SD BUT NOT REALLY- give me suggestions!!! (San Diego: for sale, HOA fees)

I think checking out Raleigh and Charlotte would be well worth it, you’re at the perfect age for either city. I’ve spent a lot of time researching both and want to make a visit there myself, although I’m at the opposite end of the age scale than you. And the Carolina beaches are a few hours away. Durham, Chapel Hill and maybe Carrboro would be interesting for you.

Yes, but I'd rather be in the second highest poverty rate than the first, California.

Crime has been steadily increasing in California since Prop 47 and AB 109 went into effect.

California is a big state. Census figures show that all Florida cities have above average poverty and are at the bottom of the barrel when it comes to average household incomes.

You sure about that?

I moved to OB because i knew the area, had lived there before, it was close to all of my "things" (Hair stylist, doctors, favorite restaurants) and had just gone thru a terrible breakup/called off a wedding. So I made my choices based off the situation and information i had at the time.

I've known for a while I wanted to leave, so now its just figuring out where. My whole life plan changed when i called off the wedding- all plans went out the window.

A bad breakup is enough reason to want a new start a new life in a different city. I was recently in Naples, FL recently and found it similar to Coronado. Might want to check it out. The problem is, it's in Florida. haha

CA = highest poverty rate in the nation....he who lives in glass houses.....

Real GDP for the top 50 MSA's shows the Miami-FLL-Palm Beach MSA 11th, 5 spots higher than San Diego which came in at 16th.....GDP is a much better means of measuring a MSA's wealth:

Thanks for saving me from having to post this. @sdurbanite you should learn to use Google, it's a wonderful tool.

[truthbetold2018]

Florida is a big state also.


If you only look at median income, San Diego MSA ranks higher than LA MSA...you honestly think there is more wealth in San Diego than LA MSA--gimme a break....LA is global financial engines, SD is not. The reason it ranks lower from a median income ranking is because there are millions more people in the LA MSA; it is much easier to maintain a higher average off of a much smaller base (SD). Basic math concept....again, the reason why GDP is a better measure of wealth/economic impact for a region than median income. Sure, LA also has more poor areas but I would think most on this forum are not aspiring to live in Compton, South Gate, ...or Barrio Logan....sdurbanite is cherry picking by focusing on poverty and ignoring overall wealth.

Looks like someone created a new username just for me. So flattered.

And LOL at you trying to bring up GDP. Metro Miami has almost twice the population of Metro SD so of course the it will have a higher number. Now figure out the per capita amount and watch Miami sink to the bottom.....Again.
