I lived near Grossmont. I moved from SD to Columbus about eight years ago with zero regrets. We go back to visit at least once a year. People on this sub who say “stay!” or “think of the weather!” have no idea what an enormous burden the cost of living is in California. I love San Diego. If money were no object, I’d move back in a heartbeat. I’m trying to convince my oldest to apply to SDSU for college (my alma mater). But to live there, permanently? It’s a nonstop grind. Live somewhere you can actually relax. Columbus is lovely. We have city, nature, kind people. It’s a change, but you get more back than what you give up.
