What’s wrong with the San Diego airport? Was pretty normal.

I like Dallas because it’s affordable. All things equal though San Diego is way better than Dallas. But do you want to pay 30-40k in taxes and extra living expenses at a minimum to live there. That’s a new car every year just to be in San Diego where you will spend 60 hours a week inside working anyways,

San Diego and anyone who says Dallas is suspect.

NTX if you prioritize financial responsibility over all else. It’s a fine place to “settle” for, in the interest of stashing acorns, to periodically go and visit nicer places.

SAN otherwise. Spent a long time there on engagements and it’s simply sublime.

I loved living in SD, but ultimately moved away because it was just too expensive.

Live in Dallas and would move to SD any day of the week all else equal. Unfortunately not all is equal including housing costs and taxes.

Spent most of my life in Dallas and my answer is San Diego

like

SD if you are paid fairly.

Apts/houses are very expensive and not as spacious as TX. COL, gas prices and everything else will be an order of magnitude more expensive.

But in return you get perfect weather, great food, tonnes of things to do. If you are single dating scene is pretty nice too.

One thing to note though is that the airport is kind of a hit or miss. Direct flights to smaller airports are tough and terminal 1 is pretty much the worst exp you’ll ever have. Terminal 2 is quite nice.

SD

Are you kidding me with that question?

Pros:

- fairly decent place to work (from someone who worked with the Vancouver and San Jose offices). never met a blue badger (permanent employee) who had awful things to say.

- Ashley Goodall (their SVP, Methods & Intelligence) co-authored a brilliant book on leadership and people management called “Nine Lies About Work” that makes me believe they can be an awesome place to work

Cons:

- red badgers had low morale since they’re contract workers and can be terminated at any time

I don't know how some people do things that to me seem so risky. Maybe I'm just way too conservative.

A friend and spouse recently purchased a home twice the price of ours and took additional amount of loan on top "for paying off other debt." They make less than half what we make and owe three times as much in other stuff (car loans, cc, irs, etc). I'd be so stressed and likely wouldn't have taken such a loan (5.8%) for an even smaller home than ours. Just thinking about it stresses me out tbh.
