it is just not diverse like in NYC :( too slow /hippie / laidback vibes.. bland segregated personality neighborhoods ...not walkable.. everyone is either military, mexican, or a transplant... i like diversity like NYC

lived in PB from 91 to 99 steps from the beach & bay and loved it., the vibe, the weather, the scenery, the paved paths along all the beaches. Missed a chance to buy a place there when it was affordable & I had money but squandered it, being too young & inexperienced to know better. Years later really missing living in SoCal and its just out of reach for me now. Looking to hear that it sucks now so I can give up the idea. Some people say its not what it used to be and its only getting worse because of high costs, traffic, homelessness, crime, open borders, corrupt government etc. If you’ve lived there many years & own a property with low taxes, or you’re rich, you could still be living the dream. If not it may suck. Do you think it sucks now or still awesome ? (please dont say its awesome, I have to stop missing it so much) 😀

I'm in the Bay area we have high prices, homelessness unfortunately 😔 too, expensive housing but.... I want to know how are the people out there??? And job market but most importantly the people. People in the East Bay are super rude, negative, bad vibes, a lot of crime. Thanks for the video 🤍

I’m leaving because I want to get married. Many men in San Diego have Peter Pan Syndrome. With the laid back beach lifestyle, many men are in no rush to settle down. There’s vague hangouts instead of real dates, lack of effort, big stoner weed culture, polyamory, “ethical non monogamy”, and just overall lack of ambition. Many men decide to finally settle down in their 50s and 60s (with a much younger woman). I thought maybe there was just something wrong with me until I started traveling. In other cities, many men are very direct with me, asking to take me out to dinner.

not a lot of BIacks in San Diego, which is perfect!

I love visiting San Diego in December from Seattle. Generally, it is sunny and warm (some occasional rain) with highs in the 60s. I know that locals feel that is chilly but for many folks around the U.S. that feels great in the winter months. Year-round, San Diego is always beautiful with lots to see and do. I recommend starting at Balboa Park. One could spend several days there and still not see everything. One of my favorite activities is the Carlsbad Half and Full Marathon every January with long stretches of running along the stunning Pacific Ocean.

I like this man,,, no suger coating it,, Thank you

Im going to get my section 8 and move to San Diego to a nice neighborhood and be happy...

Gavin Newsom wants to do that to the whole state and people still vote for him 🫠

San Diego Local (33 years). San Diego sucks with pot holes, parking, public transportation, people aren’t nice (depending on the neighborhood), not much to do There are things to do, but they get very old very fast

I used to live there but I been back to check it out recently and I love it. Considered moving back. How say you on the subject?

we can afford a $1.500,000 claiemount or UC house

It’s a dream of mine to live in San Diego. I’m working towards being able to financially sustain living there. I think I found me a realtor

Awesome job dan drop a like for you see on

I got on TH-cam just in time

Who knew downtown had so many different pockets!

🇺🇸. 👍🏻

Lived in SD for 20yrs....when I watched your video it made me remember how much I miss and crave the all-u-can eat buffet at India Palace!!

I just moved to San Diego 4 months ago and would love to move downtown if I have parking.

that is so crazy. i remember when NONE of that was in east village.

I’d like to know what you would recommend for a 1960’s style home, very little upgrades. Got good bones so to speak, it’s livable. Should someone start remodeling before it goes to market?

Dude's from Kansas City.

Awesome job dan and happy thanksgiving classic to

Perhaps I was a bit brash and I apologize. To answer your question we played the game of searching for a home during the boom and lost like every time to homes with multiple offers. Then 2 years ago when rate went up a little and people temporarily dropped out of the market we made an offer on 4 year old 3 bedroom/3 bathroom home in Carlsbad and it was accepted. We used my VA and since then our home value continues to increase now to a point I would not have been able to afford it had I waited. I have 10% VA rating and since purchasing have used 2 IRRL refinances and with the last got our rate down to 5% (we started at 6.25% when we purchased) but again that didn’t matter we could afford that payment then and of course we can afford now. I make about $400k a year and my wife does not work. Point is the right time to buy a home is when it’s right for you. Now our home is worth over $1mil but it doesn’t matter we don’t use it as a bank and will never sell it when we buy our next (we will turn it into a rental). I do think though if people haven’t made the move by now to buy they are going to find it even harder now to buy and it will continue to get worse. There won’t be a crash like there always is in TX, FL and NV. Its location, location, location and Carlsbad where we are less than 5 min from the beach is a prime location. Even Oceanside is finally cleaning up and other than Oceanside that’s it. The only other places to look are out west of the 5 and 15 and it’s the desert and hot.

This guy is full of crap. The old joke in San Diego is when you can’t find a job you become a realtor. We bought 2 years ago when the competition died down and used my VA to continuously ratchet our rate down with the IRRL program. If I didn’t have VA I would never buy. Rates won’t come down the bonds are doing too well and if the fed lowers rates again it send mortgage rates even higher. A home is not an investment if you are living in it. It’s a liability.

Thanks Danny, those are some great points.

But Jaycation lives with his parents though! He is not a San Diego Home owner.

Thank God I'm moving OUT of San Diego! Escrow closes the 26th!

THIS IS A BASIC VERY INTERMEDIATE VIDEO!!! This is very basic very average intelligence video!! Beware viewers!! Check my other comment reply!!

I hated the sky high property taxes when I owned a home in SD and I don't miss the superficial people.

I just found your channel and subscribed! I’ll definitely be contacting you if I end up moving to San Diego for a new job! Great video! thanks!

Great information. Thank you. It may be hard to find cash flow as an investor. But that is not the only way to make money. In a place like San Diego, the equity over time will dwarf what you can get in a cash flowing house elsewhere.

Danny, do you still work with Terrence? I don't see him in the videos anymore.

mexican crime

San Diego is beautiful, but the high cost of living negates many desires to buy in San Diego at this time even if you make six figures.

If it wasn't for the great weather, I would have been gone a long time ago! Thr Leftist control Ca & San Diego. San Diego almost always votes for more fees & new tax proposals. I don't get it!

Congrats on being able to afford living on the island! I remember you from the early Jaycation days… always solid content from you guys! 👌

As a homeowner in san Diego I'm pretty sure the city is purposely manipulating the market to keep prices high to collect as much in taxes as possible. Home ownership has become a scam that were forced into

A house is worth what you can cash flow rent it for.

There was a Prop that said No new housing which affects SD

San diego was great when Republicans controlled everything.

A hard pass. The high cost of living, the triple digit utility bills, the ever increasing progressive laws that limit freedom, the higher taxes, and the car and home insurance crisis… my money is better spent in other states that still make sense.

"Too Expensive"

All san Diego is bad lol

Duh, the homes in San Diego are now grossly over priced and that means astronomical property taxes after purchasing the home.

Just sold my two units at the Shore. Took that money to buy a nice house in France. The Hotel Del Coronado is a poor value for the money these days. It caters mainly to corporate events. Previously, I liked going to the bar, Babcock & Story to have a couple of drinks etc, but the prices and quality of service went down after Hilton took over the management team. It's a lovely place but give it a hard pass. The "thump, thump, thump" of the helicopters can become quite annoying when they circle around dropping divers or whoever into the water and the SEAL's Hell Week is always interesting they they shoot off their flairs in the middle of the night. Don't forget about the water pollution that sometimes flows up from Tijuana.

Awesome job Dan drop a like for you.

I grew up and lived in MIra Mesa from 1986 to 2014. The community has changed a lot and not in a good way. All of the streets are just heavily congested. I know all of the back roads that connect you to Miramar heading to La Jolla, Black Mountain, or Sorrento and Carmel Valley. I remember when Camino Santa Fe did not connect to Miramar Rd or Black Mountain did not connect to PQ, and when Calle Cristbol was not there with houses and connected to Sorrento Valley. Now ADU's are being built in Mira Mesa and crime is getting worse. No thank you I will not live there again.

Spring Valley the lower end of Spring Valley those homes when they were built the contractor after inspection would pick up the Steel the Rebar move on to the next section then pour the concrete in for the concrete these homes that you’re talking about do not have rebar in the foundations has been fixed over the years still at sherries problem

what you get for the money is not worth it
