12 Reasons Why SAN DIEGO is SO Expensive 

Suuuuuuure he is, alright time to take your meds and go to sleep.

San Diego is paradise!

Moving to Texas sounds good on paper but when you get there you soon realize you made a mistake.

I guess their dream is to pay more.

I recently moved out of San Diego as our landlord sold our house and we had to move. However, moving to Murrieta which is about an hour away from San Diego is nice too and cheaper as we managed to get a big two story house for rent in Murrieta for only about $3000 a month which is not too bad compared to San Diego whereas San Diego, you’d be paying that much for a small shack. Lol 😂

@@pancakebacon684 it's all the same 😆

Indeed, we did. It was just under 400k, our mortgage is 1,001 and we’re very close to being paid off in under 10 years. I am reminded daily how fortunate we are. 🙌🏽

Bought my 3,500 square foot home on a view lot in Poway on 1 acre in 1999. Let’s just say we are in good shape. Very rare that a home comes on the market in my hood.

agreed!

Have an amazing time! Enjoy SD

Yes LOVE SD! Will always be home for me

Agree

You know thats funny ..I felt like I was on vacation everyday and I lived there for roughly 3 years and I worked every single day but it still felt different it truly has a different feel in SD when you live in a decent part and around sane neighbors not weirdos

lol Ive seen the houses on selling websites! pink tiles, wooden pannels🤦🏻‍♀️

Yup! Prices keep rising!

@@Jaycation so let's look at the positive ..house prices are rising but the homeowners who pay property tax etc and when people said why do you live there it's expensive ..yes it was expensive and still is but those people that suffered with high mortgages suddenly have major equity and can sell and retire in a small apartment

Thanks for the love Kevin! I appreciate the sandwich!

Where did u move? Hopefully u can come back n visit!

@@Jaycation We moved to Ohio n it’s an adjustment with the harsh weather, scraping n shoveling snow n all, but the so far, the overall cost of living is good, gas, food n rent is reasonable, but sometimes kinda miss family n friends tho. Enjoy your vids keep up the great work. Love learning about my hometown. Gnite

Born nn rasied in PB. Had move inland in 98' spring valley to. Lakeside 2000. Just keeps rising. Cali willbreak ppl

Glad u get to visit every few months!

Do you always stay in the same place? I made my first trip in September and plan to return this year.. Jaycation really helped with Mission Beach info 👍🏾

@@boosieworks I like to switch it up and try new hotels/areas in SD. I love staying downtown at the Manchester or little Italy area. I'd say 95% of my info I get is from these videos or Jaycations Instagram.

@@Jaycation Me too! Your videos help so much. I look forward to trying the new spots you've shared. Hopefully we'll see you out and be able to say hello in person!! 🤞

Have an amazing time! If u see me around say hello!

I just left after living there for 11 years. Not really a beach or desert person so there was no reason to be crowded in with a bunch of miserable, obnoxiously loud people and paying a premium for it. It’s a great place to visit but not to live.

Sure! Thanks for the suggestion!

A lot of people take the trolley and bus in San Diego! We have a pretty good system, and you can get almost anywhere that you need to. But if you can afford a car, then driving is definitely the way to go since a 20 minute car ride, could take 1.5 hours or more by public transit. I'm scared of driving so I still take public transit to get to school and work. On the bus and trolley, it'll mostly be people from Tijuana or people from lower to lower middle class areas of California, trying to get to work, going grocery shopping, or going to shopping malls. There are also a lot of students taking public transit since we have a bunch of schools. Mostly people trying to mind their own business. Ngl, there are a lotttt of sketchy people that ride the bus and trolley as well. They usually just go around yelling nonsense, just don't pay attention to them. The closer you get to Downtown San Diego, the sketchier the people. There's also been an increase of homeless people, and they're everywhere, but they tend to gather in Downtown more. On the blue line, San Ysidro up until H street are the safest. Anything after 24th street, up until America Plaza, or maybe Washington St, is pretty sketchy. I'd completely avoid walking around Barrio Logan, 12th&Imperial, Park&Market, 5th Avenue, and City College. I'd avoid the Orange Line as well. In the Green Line, it starts to get nicer the closer you get to Mission Valley and Fashion Valley, which are the nicer malls. At the end of the Blue Line you get to another really nice, bougie mall in La Jolla. I hope this helps!

@@sotrue5413 - thank you so much for all this information! :)

@K. Andrews - thank you so much for this information :)

Always!

It’s going to get much hotter, quicker than you think #climateCrisis

Great suggestion!!

My dude!

Thanks Kevin!

Orlando is hot as heck towards the end of May! I remember leaving the college program thinking im going home right on time in the middle of May

I moved from Orlando to San Diego in 2020. Lived in FL my whole life. I miss it but the cost of living is pretty much the same bc the pay is so low over there

Wishing u the best as well!

You should go back home where you want to be…

Whats up my friend!

Prices r ridiculous!

Love the bay! Hope to visit soon. What part of the bay u live in?

Thanks! Always reppin the brown and gold!

I managed GO SD for two years. I understand this comment. GO East Village DT SD.

Love the vogue!

Can you carry me on your back please when you make the trip?

yea but the weather🤦🏻‍♀️ though if that is not high on your list....then its worth it

Stay blessed!

The GOAT is in the house!!

Posh Spice lol

In Serbia it is 5.98$ now and was like 5.4$ for years, and it's now going to be 8.78$ because of crisis. Coffee went up 100% where i live. I pay for car registration 325$ and average yearly income here in Serbia is 7200$, some still work for 5500$. Now imagine me paying that price while having 600$ for whole month

Good lord. Haha thats why im filming videos in mira mesa. Not trying to drive anywhere lol

Wowww

@@Jaycation I was thinking going e-bike + solar to charge battery. Would cost me around 500$ to make usable system.

Yeah dude prices r crazy!

Same

I wish i knew! Check out the fb groups, maybe someone there has a spot!

You'll love it!

Youll have an amazing time!

Agreed!

What ppl don't realize is that unless you own more than one home or you plan to sell your home and move elsewhere cheaper, the rising of home prices don't do any good for homeowners

Home values increase mainly because someone else is willing to pay more, and of course the seller will take as much as they can get..homeowners themselves are in fact causing much of the increases...you don't actually HAVE to sell it for 800G.

@@lonewolf4429 The "someone" is mainly investors and home builders.. if the market is solely driven by actual primary resident home buyers, it wouldn't be this crazy. Real estate is used as an investment tool for many riches

Holy crap havent seen it that high yet

Yes sunny and 75 most of the year! Its the place i love!

INSANEx100!

Sad to hear because SF is amazing!

Go Padres!

Home sweet home

@@Jaycation we live very close, hope to get a new home in 3roots soon.😁
