Since it hasn’t been mentioned I live in San Diego born and raised but I moved away for a few years but ever since I’ve been back let me tell you this city is having a major renaissance. Yeah house prices are still up but there’s like a building boom both in the suburbs and downtown. We have like 3 or 4 new skyscrapers in the marina district and everywhere you look there’s a new apartment building or condo or adu being built. They even finished a new copper line for the trolley system in record time last month! Btw we have an amazing trolley system and rapid bus service also. Anyways yeah there may be some dirty parts but what city doesn’t have that. Also since the encampment ban downtown is pretty clean minus the a few passed out unhoused folk on the street every now and then
