Yuk!! I wouldn't move back to San Diego if someone paid me a gazillion dollars! Apart from the housing developments (where all the houses look alike) there's no scenery...everything is brown...even the sky is brown when L.A.'s smog drifts in. And traffic congestion is almost on a par with L.A. now. Try getting out of San Diego and heading north around 6 p.m. Eight lanes of freeway traffic merge at I-5 & 805! And 163 (formerly 395) isn't much better.
I watched someone boil a test tube of San Diego tap water down to half an inch of green gunk. His home used bottled water.
Over 58 yrs. here. No brown sky, lots of green,
wonderful scenery, Great view of the bay. Over 70 miles
of beaches.
If people choose to live in the burbs 50 miles from their
work, that is their choice.
