I’m in the Bay Area and planning on moving in the next couple years. Even if the costs are going down it’s still way too expensive and I will never be able to buy a home regardless

As a single person who is looking to make friends, there’s not much upside to living here at the moment.

It’s very expensive, my apartment is tiny, and I can’t really be with other people or interact with colleagues. If it weren’t for Golden Gate Park, the beach, the urban hikes, and usually mild climate, I might as well be living anywhere else.

If I had family or a significant other to live with, this would be a completely different situation. I love this city, but I need to renegotiate my rent if this is how it’s going to be.

Trying to fill 2-3 days somewhere on the west coast (will be coming from Seattle before coming back to the Midwest). Was thinking San Diego maybe - what is there to do in San Diego?

Basically have a full week off after 4th of July, thought I would just chill at home but now realizing I probably want to spend at least some of that time going somewhere.
