Great city

@TheSnerggly Год назад

This showed up in my feed, I've lived here for 41 years. Gas just went up to 6.29 a gallon a full dollar in less than two weeks. If you have an electric car, hey that's great then you should be okay as long as flex alerts don't kick in. I recommend doing your own research and flying out for a visit for a week or two to see for yourself before moving. Be well and have a good Fall! :)

Good insight! Where do you live now Patricia?

@TheChrisrods77 Год назад

Someone asked in the comments how do people even survive? I was born and raised in SD joined the service and came back after 10 years living all over the world. First off SD is hands down the best weather you can get anywhere you can rely on the weather to be nice when you need it to be nice. Most people need to accept the fact moving to SD you need to be making a certain amount of income to have a quality of life. I grew up in SD working class home owner parents and learned from them how to live and spend smartly and enjoy beautiful SD. I see a lot of folks getting in trouble trying to live a life above their means. If you want to live in SD and enjoy it you need to be on the grind and spend wisely. If not SD will spit you out on flames all the way to Arizona where most people run to when they cant make it in SD. Nothing wrong with AZ but its AZ...Good luck people be realistic when moving to SD make sound financial decisions and you'll be okay.

Gas and electricity is going up on average this month, close to $150 increase. SDGE just announced it a few weeks ago and friends have already received their bill/doubled.

@sterlingmarshel6299 2 года назад

San Diegans paid an average of 36.5 cents per kilowatt-hour - the highest in the Country. source: CA Public Utilities Commission For a million dollar home (average price) you have to make 225k min. and you never even touched on the increasing homelessness problem. - it is a great place that is slowly losing its appeal to younger people who want to start a family and buy a home. Yes I lived in Oceanside, San Marcos, and worked downtown for a while

@lifeinsandiego 2 года назад

Appreciate the input Sterling. This was a video explaining general costs associated with San Diego, not homelessness. It’s definitley not the least expensive, but very doable.

I loved and beautiful San Diego for many many years. Usually hovering around the coastal areas cause it was more my thing. But I’ve lived in El Cajon for a period of time also. Somehow I ended up moving to Tampa Bay Florida several years ago. It’s been the worst mistake of my life to be quite honest with you! Yes, the weather is great down here, especially during the winter months! And the beaches can be very awesome as well and all that. But I always think about San Diego, and my heart will always be in San Diego. I look forward to possibly returning there someday!

@daidrianharris4850 Год назад

Great video! Very informative.I was wondering if you knew how much annually one would have to make to live, not lavish but, comfortably without "struggling" in SD?

@lifeinsandiego Год назад

That's tough. I've had friends out of college making about $40k/year that were doing it. Probably not saving any money, but making it happen.

@fosterthesose Год назад

I'd say 80k and you're good. Tons of specialized trades in SD that will pay around that, or higher.

@auza13 Год назад

One bedroom apartments are approaching $3000 a month. If you can even find one available. Many properties put you on a waiting list…. Got a better job to keep up with the cost of living just to find that I’ll be living paycheck to paycheck again the next year. Time to run away from here lol

@lifeinsandiego Год назад

Yep, depends on which neighborhood we're talking about but rents are definitley getting hefty in certain parts of SD.

@jonniesantos Год назад

…enjoying the video. My 2 cents. Prop taxes at 1.25 are low (versus a state like New Jersey), and we don’t reappraise yearly (Prop 13). Gas and electric are combined, we run around $500/month for about 1000kWh/9 therms. Water (which includes sewer) is over $300 bi-monthly. We’re about 10 minutes East of downtown in an older, 2 bed home. The other consideration if you’re at the office all day versus working from home or retired as far as utilities go. We spend more on groceries and eating out than you - you can’t escape Costco for under $100. I’ve been told car tags are higher here than other places.

Except rent and gas, everything cost the same as in Houston, TX which before Covid was very affordable. Now the prices skyrocketing and minimum wage is $7.25 for two decades already, crime is on raise, weather is terrible, constant dangers of hurricanes and tornadoes, freezes and heat strokes, that makes place unbearable.

We live in Point Loma and spend about 6 weeks/yr in Hawaii. I would say the prices are comparable. More people in Hawaii have to work multiple jobs since the economy is more dependent on agriculture and tourism.

@cailarchitectatopks Год назад

Does San Diego have short term rental house (2-3 months) for people living in the cold states coming to spend the winter?

@lifeinsandiego Год назад

Of course. I would recommend looking on both VRBO and Air BnB for short term rental options. Also, when doing a longer stay such as 2-3 months you can negotiate with the seller for a better price so make sure you personally reach out to the Managment company or landlord.

I've lived in San Diego for 40 years, average temperatures are 50/60 in winter 70/80 summer, 10 maybe 20 days of rain, property taxes on 4 bedroom 3 bath home $2,600 year

@lifeinsandiego Год назад

Thanks for sharing the insight! Might be a typo but property taxes are about 1.2% of the total accessed value. $2,600 is extremely low at todays prices, but who knows maybe you bought 40 years ago!

@CAHOBBES Год назад

To be fair I bought my houses in 1987, taxes are locked into proposition 13 & 19. Might want to mention the advantages buying a home in San Diego, sooner rather then later.

Speaking of farmer's markets, what is the water situation in San Diego? Is it drought prone? Also, any comments on crime? Asking from Chicago.

SD is usually considered in a moderate drought. As for crime, just like parts of Chicago, we've got it too. It'll vary by neighborhoods. Feel free to shoot me a text and I might be able to give you a better understanding 760.685.7956

Taxes r hire up here and the roads r trash, the people r crap, the food is crap, the weather for 6 mounths out of the year sucks, trash and spray paint everywhere, no night life, not safe for kids to chill alone, people up here r not creative, original, or stylish....
