Why do people put San Diego on an artificial pedestal? |
Travel Info When it is clearly undeserved? Perhaps they fail to recognize that: - Outdoors/nature east of San Diego is dry, scrubby, and downright ugly (even Julian is a horrid little town) - The beaches are ALWAYS freezing cold and extremely polluted - The natives AND newcomers are equally backwards, provincial, rude, superficial, and conservative - The quality of restaurants are subgrade and not even comparible to San Francisco - The theatre scene is pathetic and doesn't even come close to Los Angeles or San Francisco - The traffic on I-5, I-8, I-805, SR-163, I-15, is as bad or WORSE than I-405 in Los Angeles - Salaries on average pay 40% less in San Diego than in LA or San Francisco - Crime rates are skyrocketing - San Diego pretends to be a "small town" when in fact it is the 2nd biggest city in California. Travel Tips I live near San Diego and I agree it isn't an amazing place to be. I think there are a lot of things to do here but the problem is getting to them! You have to sit in traffic pretty much no matter where you go and no matter what time of day. If you are out around 5:00 you might as well walk to wherever you have to go because you aren't going anywhere. I recently moved here from a small town in NY and really think the people are mean! They want to be left alone and don't want to be bothered. Some beaches are nice like LaJolla but it gets crowded and I won't step foot in the water without a wet suit. I think it's a nice place to visit but I am reconsidering my move here. Others Jesus! Chill out. If you live there just move. wow. I didn't know that. Guess I'll email your info to two friends I have living out there right now (by choice). They may not realize how gruesome San Diego is. Guess I won't visit them, too. Too scary. There's positive & negative about every city in the USA. It is still better than life for the people who are struggling day-to-day in countrys like Africa, Haiti, India, Iraq and on & on. I'd anyday take the worst city in the USA. Stop bellyaching about San Diego! 061207 2:05 I lived there from '86 to '03. Julian is very pretty. Try LaJolla or Coronado for gorgeous beaches. I never met any backwards......people there. There are some great restaurants in the city. Ever go to the gaslamp quarter? Don't know much about the theatre scene. Yes, the traffic is bad during rush hour, like it is in all big cities. Crime skyrocketing? Where do you live? If you don't like it, move. wow you must have had a really bad experience. Try hanging out at other parts of the city besides hanging out at Hillcrest so much. this is what i've been telling people all along but some wont believe me. They think SD is this cool place but that is so far from the truth. I think people from the east coast or people who dont know much about Cali has this perception of SD. Everytime I go there, the people always put up a front. This city is full of FAKE, whining brats who only care about money money money or how big their house is. The people are disconnected from one another. I only go there when I need to, like visiting a family member, who I dislike but have to put up with just to make my mom happy. But if it was up to me, I'd never set foot in this city. Makes me love my home here in L.A. so much more!! Stick with L.A. or Orange County! bad experiences in SD, has whinning bratty cousins who live in SD |
