Lifelong San Diegan here. In order to be happy here you need to tolerate: skyhigh housing costs, lots of traffic, horrible streets, six-feet tall weeds, homeless people, high taxes across the board (income, property, gasoline, etc.), skyhigh energy costs (electricity, gas, gasoline) and grossly incompetent politicians. What do you get for all this nonsense? Good weather and natural beauty. Take away the weather and natural beauty and there is no reason to live here.
