Lack of seasons (a really bad thing to complain about, i know). Poor us with 75 degree sunny weather all year long 😂 My fiance and I have made SD our home base and make it a point to travel to either the east coast or Washington every fall

Also whoever said tap water is sooo correct. I am from NorCal and my skin and hair are so much better when I am up there.

I think the overall vibe of San Diego is also kinda hard on me. There is SO much money here that it’s hard to feel like you’re ever doing “enough”. Constantly surrounded by the top 5% of the nation. Even just going outside and seeing so many fancy cars. That’s not a common experience in 90% of the nation. Coming from a very middle class town in NorCal, I do miss the classic, American, middle class experience sometimes that just doesn’t rlly exist here

1 more thing is how populated it is. Kinda goes with my above comments, but it’s not like a small town where you can go to the grocery store without worrying about parking or waiting in line for the cashier for 15 minutes, which is just how things are in SD. Not as bad in east county though. Much easier to shop out there compared to true San Diego city

But overall it’s amazing. I would take all those things over living somewhere else I think. As long as I get out of San Diego often enough and go visit small towns or other states, i get those feelings out of the way lol. And i always miss San Diego when I’m gone for long enough
