Thinking of moving to San Diego, CA? Useful Info HERE.

This is a subset of the r/SanDiego Sub as we get a lot of people asking questions about moving to this city and **what you should know.** **Visiting as a tourist, isn't like like living here** The image that is sold isn't real. As a reference sub that also serves as a fair warning sub for those that might not understand what SD is like. We're not here cheerlead a move but to let people know what the reality is living in a very competitive city and job market with it's own culture.
