I’m 29 and I’d strongly recommend little Italy (that’s where I live) for the safety, mature crowd, nice restaurant and great farmers market. Also close to the airport so it’s perfect for a consultant. Not close to the beach though. Pacific Beach is a college party town for the most part, so I feel old when I go there (I’m 29)
I’ve been living in San Diego for 3 years and I love it because of the weather, the people (everybody is chill) and because there’s a lot to do in the city.
I don’t dislike anything about this city 🙂

Hello people of San Diego! Would love to hear how y’all are affording to live here comfortably. Please state your company, position, TC, YOE, and do you have a side hustle? I’ll start - I’m an advisor in Wealth Management with TC of $70k, 3 YOE and no side hustle. Among other things, rent just jumped from $2500 to $3700 for 2 bedroom and areas were looking at. I’d like to “make it” here but if it means switching career to make money I’d like to get an idea to make the right job change.

Tried this Santorini retailing for $40. Very concentrated but can’t say I was blown away by it. Volcanic terroir dominates almost to the point of obscurity, and it had strong lemon notes, hints of quince, and sea salt. It clashed with Mexican food (hey I knew that beforehand but didn’t think it would clash THAT bad, and usually pair Mexican with Riesling or Gewürztraminer) but I’m going to Greece soon and wanted to drink Greek wine. I drank half at a BYOB, took the bottle home(cont’d)
