Moving to San Diego from Santa Barbara. Looking to be relatively central so I can meet people, go out for drinks or other fun active activities (I'm a runner) What are your thoughts on the vibes in Banker's Hill vs. Point Loma (liberty station) vs Little Italy vs North Park? Is there somewhere else I should be considering?

I love Banker's Hill. So much diversity, history, and culture. It has vibes but it's not so dense that you feel like packed sardines.

I agree. I am a big fan of Banker's Hill. I have met some really great people out there. Such a good vibe there.

I second Banker's Hill, which is much better than North Park, plus less crowded.

I love Little Italy. It’s pricey but has my favorite spots, so it would be cool to be able to walk to all of them

Oooh that sounds amazing. I may have to check that out this weekend.

Bankers Hill seems cool too although I’ve never lived there. Another very central option is Mission Valley. They also have a couple of new luxury building with good amenities if you’re into that

Liberty Station is loud b/c it’s right under a main flight path. I liked visiting, but would not live there

I would not want to live there either. It is a really fun place to hang out though. My friends and I go there often.

North park has a lot to walk to close (depending on spot). Bankers Hill over little Italy if you like your peace - BH is easy to get to little Italy for fun but more of a chill vibe at home. Both are in the flight path so you will hear planes. Point Loma can be awesome depending on area, but not cheap…

I love Banker's Hill. I would highly recommend it. I think you would really like it there.

So, this is a little awkward, but I recently moved to SD for a fresh start, and honestly, I love this city. My problem is I have been more of a homebody since I moved here and I'm a little intimidated to go out and meet people because I don't feel like I fit in here. I am overweight and this city is full of active, and attractive people. I guess I am wondering what my experience would be if I got out more? I feel like people look at me when I'm in public because I stand out due to my size.
