- As the cost of living continues to climb, a majority of San Diegans are now considering moving out of the county.
A new survey from the University of San Diego finds that more and more locals are increasingly concerned about housing, homelessness and employment opportunities here at home. This new survey from The Nonprofit Institute at the University of San Diego comes on the heels of a recent study by US News & World Report finding that San Diego is the most expensive place to live in the United States.
FULL STORY: www.cbs8.com/article/news/loc...
The cost of living across the Country is already very high but San Diego is just way over the top expensive - some parts of CA are really only for millionaires while everyone else just gets squeezed out of the area.
Right ❤
Not high everywhere.
@@SaveAmerica69 bakersfield? apple valley?
, they may have to learn how fix own cars , but maybe they keep a guy around for that !😅😅
just how democrats want it. keep voting blue fools.
The government should not allow Hedge funds and non-American investors to buy property. It will never happen, but that is a strong factor why rental and property prices have skyrocketed.
Are we still Capitalist with your logic ?
@@tristan583This is all the result of Capitalism, hence why it’s flawed.
yes, and it’s also a hallmark of a failed state! our country has been sold to the highest bidder, and it only took under 300 years to crash and burn.
You notice how they say gas prices are do to distance within a city but you go to another further state and it’s cheaper. Why are homes in San Francisco or San Diego ridiculously overpriced and the same home in another city is half or less than said house? Car tags are way up it’s just not worth buying vehicles anymore.
@@tristan583just because it’s capitalism doesn’t mean you can do what ever the f you want.. don’t be a goofball
The cost of living has been always high, but it is just not worth it anymore.
What? You don’t want to pay 3k to live with a hobo in front of your property?
I'm that hobo and even the gangs charge us rent
The small size home with closet sized room and a regular room sized living room. With the beautiful border and Tijuana landscape. This thought process is really out of touch. A home should never be the reason you don’t have money. This country has really failed and they are playing grab whatever you can before it all ends. The ridiculous dmv charges for tags is unreal. We already pay tax on gas.
I’m the weed grower that over-charges the gangs that charge hobos rent that live in front of the overpriced rental
Mexicans parking cars on front lawns, playing loud mariachi music, till 2 am.
This country hasn't failed, the cost of housing in San Diego is driven by the market and people drive the market. So you can't it's America or the government, as far as taxes go lawmakers introduce these taxes and people vote on them, if they are too high then the people need to get together with their representatives and start walking these taxes back. Other than the taxes the rest of it are just issues with supply and demand. @@anthonymartinez4307
So the rent payers are leaving while the homeless from other areas take over San Diego.
what if I told you renters can become homeless?
In 1985 sandiego was America's finest city. 2023 sandiego is America's most expensive city with homeless everywhere. Sandiego has fallen and can't get up.
San Diego was given that moniker when it was snubbed as a lucrative venue.
Boomers did this.
@@jacksonrelaxin3425 NOPE. Try again Clyde.
@@jacksonrelaxin3425 liberals and 3rd world immigrants ruined the city
@@stevenrobinson2381 Republican boomers bankrupted San Diego. The Goldings are real estate scum and downtown San Diego is still a dump. 5th AVE and Little Italy and Petco isn't infrastructure, it's 20-30 year old has been speculative profits bolstered by Republican policy that screwed San Diego. The boomer Republicans abused available development downtown where up is off limits because of the airport. Everywhere else in San Diego is disgusting aged apartment complex and fast food disaster, the peons being taxed with excessive rents. The boomer Republican Goldings are cowards and humiliated and won't go near La Jolla. San Diego housing and condition is scum Republican boomers fault.
Some Parts of San Diego are downright scary. The place is a beautiful diamond covered in sh$t.
San Diego is almost as bad as LA,, why?
Democrats
It's just another shi**y day in paradise. 🏖🌞🤣
Try parking in the Padres "Tail Gate Parking" lot next to the Trolly Station and then make the walk into Petco Stadium then tell me just how many homeless drug addicted democrats do you see. @@carlbowles1808
For real!!!
wow, a very accurate description of san diego!!
Grew up in SD in the 1970's . Everyone was skinny, tan and we had the best music of any generation in my opinion. YOU MISSED IT KIDS! I am leaving California next year . It is a Tragic kingdom now ....the good vibrations are gone.
Which state are you going to? We're thinking about North Carolina or Georgia.
Was looking at Tennessee but have decided on St, George Utah area. I didn't think I could handle the humidity . St George is safe close to Vegas if I want entertainment. I also love the desert racing @@Skeletor4ever
I settled in Hurricane Utah......Right next to the best nation park ....ZION park is unbelievable. It is safe out there and no humid summers or cold as hell winters @@Skeletor4ever
The liberals ruined it, are you one of them?
I mean you can still rent an apartment for $1900, a month. And a big part is that 20 people are living in one house.
Where are these apartments? I know plenty of people looking. Thanks.
And how much does the average person makes per month
@@tristan583 Well let’s see, minimum wage is $15 dollars an hour, multiply by 40 hrs. That’s $600 a week. Multiply by 4 weeks. That’s $2400. Subtract, $600 for taxes and social security, medical. We come to a minimum wage of $1800. And even a McDonald’s worker makes more than minimum wage. Zip recruiter says the average someone makes per hour is $33.34 or $69,337 a year. Now you add one person like a wife, girlfriend, roommate, ect. You still have to factor in $10,000 for utilities for the year. And there, now you just have to manage your money like a responsible person. And you will do just fine.
You're a total idiot!
@@khigg40that’s the f’ing problem plenty of people looking gonna be 20 people in that house too you didn’t learn a damn thing.
Honestly this is all pushing out the natives and replacing it with other people. I really do feel like it’s a ploy and greed. But there’s not enough pressure to ever make me move to effing Florida.
Nah. Not this is all pushing out the natives. Not “this is all pushing out the natives.” /
Florida is ridiculously over priced. Especially in places like Miami,
Ft Lauderdale and all of the places that you'd like, if you weren't progressive and enjoyed 100° ten months a year 🥵
Exactly! Decline by design, replace middle class with super rich, welcome to new Monaco. They replaced all of us natives, starting with sports!
Two kinds of people who own homes in SD. Those who’ve been there for generations and millionaires. Oh three: the indigent homeless. 😢
You don't own a place just because you were born there. What an ignorant statement.
You can’t keep claiming San Diego is paradise when homeless people are everywhere dumping trash all over the sidewalks. They’re allowing this city to become a homeless paradise.
Actually, there are new policies that don't make it a homeless paradise anymore. They can't set up tents near parks or schools and cannot turn down alternative shelter when offered. New rules also make RVs move at least half a mile away every 72 hours. I have seen a decline in the number of tents downtown already.
This is part of the plan. The rich promote homelessness to push people out and buy up properties. In 6-12 yes everything will be back to normal. It’s happening in every big city
That's because the majority of homeless already know that they come from other states to a much better climate
Move to Alabama or Florida! The homeless people there are very polite and they will pick up your trash and make you a sandwich too! Miami is best for Cuban girls that you don't have to pay for sex!
So is tucson arizona
San Diego being more expensive than SF, Miami, and New York is absolutely mind blowing.
Result of liberals
Lived there for a decade in the 80's and it was expensive then, but Baja was still safe to visit. My roots are in the tropics so I returned home where life is Wonderful and affordable in Paradise--our ocean is blue blue blue, our land is green and not crowded with people. ❤
Baja is absolutely the Garden of Eden at this point
Where is that place?
en Baja?
Tijuana is so beautiful I can't let it go
Stayed at Westin in the gas lamp district.No hot water for 2 days.. homeless everywhere..what a deal for $350 a night..never again
You got ripped off.
I like to plan ahead. I bailed on Diego in 86'.
someone else always replaces you nobody cares that you left sucka 😂

Did you bring your liberal ways with you and stink up part of the country somewhere else or did you grow a brain?
Don't worry San Diegans, a Chinese billionaire who has escaped from prison or retired NFL player will gladly buy your overpriced home. Us normal folks are leaving this place. The weather ain't worth your retirement.
overpriced home??? what??🤣🤣🤣🤣
'The weather ain't worth your retirement'. Exactly.
I have said it for years if trump cared about america he would not allow people from other countries to park their money in our real estate. They buy site unseen. Only a citizen or someone who plans on living in the country should be allowed to buy. We cant go buy in saudi arabia or other countries but we let them buy here.
You are so right, but remember "The Democrat Mind" is a very sick mind. Democrats won't wake up one morning, look into the mirror, vomit on their shoes, and say to themselves "we really fckup CA and should have voted for Republicans"
I’m not a citizen, but I bought property here in the US, and I pay US taxes also .
San Diego is a nightmare for any veteran who didn't have the officer grade salary. Making ends meet in a living hell for the poor, while they celebrate 4th of July, truly to mark the fall of the serviceman at this point.
It’s so deplorable. The Navy is why many of us are here….. now there’s non patriotic liberals here forcing those people out. It’s disgusting.
Liberals ruined it
Power Bills, highest in the Nation. Fuel cost highest in the Nation. Food cost is some of the highest in the Nation. Car Insurance close to the most costly in the Nation (zip code), just for starters.
Result of liberals
I stayed with my brother in Coronado it’s nice but right over the bridge to downtown is like skid row
Wait a minute, so the high cost is living isn't causing these people to become homeless?
Most of the homeless come from other states, because of the climate. I've spoken to a lot of them and to my surprise around 80% are from Midwest states.
Sometimes, but a lot of homeless people are either mentally ill or have burned every bridge they have due to addiction. It isn't about "the climate" as a lot of folks think. Otherwise NYC wouldn't have a huge homeless issue and many places in the mid-Atlantic would. The laws in CA incentive junkies to check out of society with little to know repercussions. They can steal and it is at best a misdemeanor. They can park and stay where they want and claim they are the victim. CA has made being a victim the best thing you can be. Many won't stay in shelters because they cannot be high. Sure, the high home/rent prices are a barrier, but a lot of these folks are comfortable on the street and very entitled.
Druggies come to areas they can get their drugs, Colorado and California found this out
I've lived here my whole life and it didn't start getting really expensive until the 2010s.
Aghhh... I live up around Seattle and it's worse than San Diego... The homeless r worse, the cost of restaurants r higher with lower quality food, drugs everywhere up here, trash everywhere , spray paint, crime, screwed up small roads with all day long traffic jams, unfriendly people, mental illness everywhere, pore local, city, and state government planning, no parks, nowhere to go, summer is 3 months long, groceries for 2 people r over $200 a week, gas is over $5, none of the grass or trash along any street or highway is cleaned or mowed, they hide and rename taxes to make it seem like something else, the registration sticker on my license plate cost $600 every year for 1 car for a train construction tax that won't be complete for another 12 years and no one will use because it's so inefficient.... San Diego is paradise compared to this toxic POS know as the Pacific Northwest.... I make well over 6 figures and have a nice house with a view and I hate it up here... The second the housing market gets better, I'm out of here and moving to the San Diego area where I can enjoy my life before I die!!!!
Both cities have third world bullies who do caustic things to total strangers. I heard Oakland is worse than San Diego. Actually, all major cities in the U.S. have gone to the doggies.
San Diego should be the new "If you could make it here, you can make it anywhere" city.
I would gladly leave SD if I knew where to go.
That’s why I left San Diego. Best decision I’ve ever made
We need more people like you here. It's getting too crowded.
@@vuaeco and your attitude says it all. HAVE IT. And enjoy what it's become pal.
We San Diegans agree that was the best decision. We did not want you here in the first place.
@@nonyabusiness1990 you just personified the "bunga" attitude. Good job Clyde. Ya'll can have it-DUDE.
So are you saying that San Diego is more expensive to live than San Francisco or New York??
That what they sound like they saying but I don’t pay that much because New York is very expensive
You do realize this study is based on other factors besides rent
Ever since 2021 it has got worse in downtown San Diego and the East Village it has always been expensive but the homeless drug addicts,violent mentally ill and teens,trash everywhere more rats than ever before infectious diseases,i have lived here 17 years and going to leave here in the coming year......
I lived in San Diego for 18 years, until SAIC relocated me to the DC Beltway. Even though that area is considered 'high cost' too, it's a lot more affordable than San Diego. I had a house 500 yards from Chesapeake Bay that was twice as large as the one I'd had in Scripps Ranch, but cost me only a 3rd of what I had sold the San Diego house.
Another factor is the 'San Diego Discount" employers expect folks to take a little less for the privilege of living and working in America's Finest City. SAIC gave me a hefty raise when they sent me east. Pay is better, housing a lot more affordable, utilities, groceries, gas....It just hit $2.98 @ gallon here today. My money goes a LOT further
Electricity is brutal in SD now, my mother living alone in a 3000 sq ft house with a dog, never used the AC, the house was mostly dark, almost flashlight time, still her bill was north 500 a month, she moved north, she bought a new 2000 sq ft house with a couple of solar panels and her bill is south of 70 a month.
I had to move away with my family during the recession of 2008. I definitely miss it. My other family members are still there. I feel if it weren't for my move away from SD, I wouldn't have the things I have now
Sandiego voted for more taxes, so now every mile you drive will be taxe on top of the gas tax that is supposed to go to road maintenance
Yes, it is expensive to live here in San Diego. I would not mind it as much if they actually took care of the roads, enforced the law, cleaned up the parks, had proper policing, did something about the mentally ill homeless population that is ruining our city and, in general, did something to ensure that residents who live here and pay property and other taxes had the quality of living that they are actually paying for. I, for one, lay a lot of blame on the good for nothing Mayor, Todd Gloria.
Living in SD is free if you're homeless.
Cool then be homeless
so damn true...Grantville is now mostly condos for the homeless...is this even actually happening?...and these aren't the poor people of the grapes of wrath...they are demons...
I am glad I moved out from California three years ago way to expensive.
Born an raised here its definitely hard but nothing compares to sd in the country , and ive lived in new york, Pittsburgh, Charlotte , and Memphis
Graduated from UCSD in 2006. I remember you coupd've bought a condo near campus for low $200k. I'm in Vegas now. I do miss the weather but I'm more financially set here.
For every bum that's going to leave, there's going to be 5 new individuals that want to move in so it doesn't matter. Cost of living in SD will continue to rise
Of all people, Scott Baio left California. He is what I call a taxpayer. If the dudes who pay the most money leave, then we can expect California to go bankrupt again.
We loved San Diego and would prefer to live there over Temecula, all things being equal. But they aren’t, and we chose to settle up here. Housing costs was the only factor in our decision, but it was based on what we wanted. In San Diego we rented and missed our chance to buy. By the time we decided we wanted to stay prices had risen well above affordibility for us. That is for a house in the neighborhood we wanted and big enough for our family.
In Temecula we bought a much nicer home, 40 years newer, about 800 more square feet, with a 3 car vs 2 car garage, much bigger lot, slightly better school district, newer and much nicer community amenities, and MUCH less crime. In our San Diego neighborhood car break-ins were a nightly thing in large numbers, home burglaries less common but not infrequent. Have not heard of any here, some sporadic porch piracy and catilytic converter thefts mentioned on nextdoor app.
We lived in our old neighborhood in San Diego for the school district so that was the only deal breaker for us. We would have accepted the older, smaller house with theft concerns but the price for such a home in that neighborhood was TWICE what we paid here.
That’s a long story justifying your regret 😀
@@stevenmorris2293 Not regret, disapointment that we couldn’t afford to buy there and still can’t. If we wanted to we could sell our house here for a profit and move right back to our old neighborhood and rent.
For me the biggest downside up here is the distance to the beach. I surf fish and the kids love the beach and its an hour drive from here vs twenty minutes. Legoland, Zoo, Safaripark, Seaworld, all that are were rare visits so the added distance isn’t as big a deal as the beach distance. We are closer to Disney, Idylwild, and Big Bear but again they are infrequent so don’t count them as a plus.
Absent winning the lotto the only way we are getting back to SD is when the kids are out of the house and we can downsize to a condo and not care about schools and all that.
What are the average house prices there now? Had a few co-workers buy houses in Temecula a few years ago when some were $400K. But all but one quit this last year once things opened back up, because it's a 2 hour drive back up there at peak times of a week day. I'm near everything down here, but houses near me are about $800K. They're nothing spectacular.
My mother in law bought a house for 300k in Menifee 2017. She lives in a 4 bd 3 bathroom home in the suburbs. She loves it. Her house is now worth 600k
Definitely loved living in SD while it lasted. One day again.....
new 2 bedroom apt is $4000 homes are $1,000,000 see why
There is no place like San Diego ❤
I'm going to google the film Escape from the Planet of the Apes to see how much of it was filed in San Diego. Whenever I see U.S.M.C. in films, it makes me wonder if they were filmed in Oceanside or San Diego.
They are constructing several apartments building in the University Heights/North Park/Hillcrest area. That's hundreds of new rental units renting from $3K to $5K for a very small 1/2 bedroom and no parking. The big Winslow complex on Park & El Cajon is huge. I drive by it everyday and see that the units are not being rented out, and they have been trying for months. The apartments are empty. Around the corner on El Cajon, many large multi-unit buildings have been constructed or are being constructed. Most with limited parking available. Down the street on Park Blvd, another building with maybe 50 units under construction.
Who do they think are going to rent all these units? I think most people that can afford the high rent most definitely own a car, and probably a nice one, and they won't be on-site parking available for the majority of the building tenants?
I see a huge crash coming to the rental market is SD.
Well you do reap what you sow. CA has doubled down on idiotic politics and regulations. They have high taxes and high costs. I love CA, it has the best geography in the country. However CA politics are the worst export in the country. They incentive homelessness, theft, low housing inventory, and almost wage an economic war on small business and the middle class. For 40 years it was the greatest state in the country, and now, its not in the top 10. It is really sad to see. I love SD, was born here and live here now
Thanks to the Democrats socialist and communists!
Don't worry, the ones leaving will be replaced
With illegals.
I'm not going anywhere, I'm living in my RV on your street..
My dad built a home in San Diego 45 years ago and he is putting up all his property’s for sale in January and leaving back to Canada 🍁
he did what most immigrants do: drain the country of its resources then flee back to their home countries as they enter their twilight years
Isn't National City, Chula Vista, and San Ysidro cheaper? Maybe that can be an option for San Diegans?
Stay there. Fix your own place instead of moving to other states and voting for the same policies that created that hole.
We have leaders appointed in, we didn’t ask for this 💩
@@davinxi5926 No, your leaders were voted for. The fact that you didn't even know that is part of why your state is such hole. We don't want you here, fix your own state and quit ruining everyone else's.
You voted for it
Dont be fooled. Unfortunately, rental and home buying are cheaper elsewhere, but the extreme heating and cooling costs will shock your pockebook
People want to keep up with the jones' they will be broke soon enough. Bunch of scammers and insurance fraudsters
When too many move in for the hi-paying jobs, those renting and not making the big bucks are forced out.
Texas, Florida, Nevada, and Washington doesn't have an income tax, while Arizona has a low income tax rate.
Texas makes up for the income tax with Very high property tax. What you may save is spent on electricity heating & cooling.
Born & raised there-my Father's family goes back to the 1850's-Julian area. Remember a time when there was space between the little coast cities driving north on then almost new I-5. Graduated high school in '79. The changes really started by the late 80's-it was a decent place up until then. Left in July 1991 for a small town in the upper Midwest & NEVER LOOKED BACK. Ya''ll can have it. Sad but true.
Keep ya broke ass out there!
A beautiful city doesn't pay the bills 😮
A student 👩🎓 who came here for school leaving after graduation doesn’t count towards San-Diegans leaving. Students are expected to return home or elsewhere.
Left Escondido and CA after living there my whole life. The homelessness was too much for me. I didn’t want to pay through the nose to have a nice house with so much homelessness around me.
Escondido refugee here too. I thought I had struck gold on Bend OR before the cough wrecked the local economy and housing went bonkers. Living with family until I save up enough to get out of this hell hole. Hidden Valley my ass.
@@captmaverickable OR is another liberal cesspool.
No one cares, no one is coming to help, it is every man for himself, and they want it that way. Drowning, divided, powerless.
The data that should have been included: the percentage of residents of San Diego who wanted to move in previous years. That is, 75% of residents of San Diego want to move. What was it ten years ago? Or 15? If it's also 75% -- or close to it -- this then suggests that as residents move away, because of the high cost of housing, more residents move in. In other words, high housing costs are determined by demand and low supply. Then, the more important statistic is the number of people moving into the county relative to the number of people moving away.
San Diego has a net lost of taxpayers, correct?
"Then, the more important statistic is the number of people moving into the county relative to the number of people moving away." , Democrats should not be their hopes to recover the once "Golden State" on the backs of 7th Grade dropouts from Mexico, Central and South America, and Asia who can't speak English.

I have lived in San Diego since 1946. In 1954 you could buy a nice home for $12,000 dollars.

San Diego: My place the Cost of living is so high
LA: Me too
San Francisco : Hold My beer.
Unchecked greed has made this possible. This isnt just the result of inflation as a lot of people would suggest. Lot of price gouging. People both domestic and foreign see riches when they see CA. They dont care what damage it does.
Yup only citizens should be allowed to buy not someone who made money paying people 20 cents an hour in another country. Then they come here take all the parking at utc mall
Except that is not a pro-landlord state and many investors stay far far away from the West Coast. The cost are so high and laws so absurd that most investors would rather invest elsewhere. CA has a declining population and businesses are fleeing the state. The housing market simply cannot appreciate due to lack of demand at the current price points. I'm an investor and know one in their right mind is getting into CA especially when you could invest in Texas, Florida, Tennessee, Arizona, or the Carolina's. It is not greed, it is the idiot politics and regulations

I am a native of San Dagan and was born at the Navy Balboa Hospital I retired in 2013 and left because I could not afford to buy a house there or afford the cost of living there, So I moved to Crossville, TN a small retirement community and it's cheap here, low property tax
Car registration fees for any new or used cars are 29.00 a year, and there is no Smog either
I bought a three-bedroom house on two acres in a rural area for less than 100.000 and my mortgage is under 500 a month. I don't have to deal with the homeless people like in El Cajon and there's not a lot here either. I do miss San Diego but not all madness there. Here it's nice and slow pace. Plus I see many families are leaving San Diego and moving here. Just wanted to give people a heads up!
Do it !
I’m not a wealthy person by any means but to me the cost of living would be worth it because of the natural beauty, beaches and weather but when there are homeless people masturbating(literally) on sidewalks it makes it not worth it anymore
How does San Diego's cost of living compare to other locations around the country and the world?
I think it be helpful if community colleges offered free or low cost Spanish As A Second Language classes to working age people who want to move to a Spanish speaking country - like the free ESL (English As A Second Language) classes they offer to immigrants to the US.
Many people are immigrating to California from other countries, and many Californians are emigrating to other countries - especially Mexico - for a better life. But Americans who receive only Social Security do not receive enough income to qualify for a Resident Visa there.
Most international health insurance companies charge people much more who want coverage in the US, because medical services are so much more expensive in the US than in most other countries.
Many immigrants to the US master English and obtain employment with American companies. And many have, at least, a bachelors degree. However, many Americans who move to Mexico or other countries never become proficient in their new country's language, so are never able to obtain employment with companies in that country.
In Mexico, the average blue collar Joe works full time and only makes $45 a week; who wants to work for that measly amount of money?
Once they move out, they won't be able to come back. Considering means not moving out..
San Diego already has too many people.
@@MrJuvefrank is that so.. another reason why San Diego is expensive is i read that no more land available to built homes and apartments thus increasing the price of existing homes.
I visited 20 years,ago and it was definitely breathtakingly beautiful but there was something off about the people. Something not right!!
It's California. They're all brainwashed
What?
It’s true. And I know what you mean...
lived here all my life and even though I haven't been to many places, every other place I have been to I've liked the people more.
@philjohnson922 lol. It was a while ago but the younger people were trying to hard to be cool. I'm like yall Southern California cool by default, all beautiful and looked well put and well to do. Don't try so hard!!!.
Whoever is reading this from outside of California I just know that that San Diego is the good child in this Los Angeles county is 10 times worse the only place still exist in order is Ventura county to some parts cops and attorneys up there don't play games
I know people who had to leave, they just could not take it anymore, absolutely no chance of owning, two incomes, 2K in babysitters, tears when they left. Two years later after they settle in HAPPY, still miss it, I drive south anytime I can, I love it down there, the weather is so nice. Most of the houses people rent their are over 65 years old and dumpy at best, very little parking if any.
If you come to Arizona don’t bring the politics that caused California to go to shit with you
Stay where you are! You voted for what you are getting. Stay and reap the results!!!
I didn't vote for anybody, because I knew I would have been screwed either way.
Almost bought a house in Normal Heights in 1999 that needed work for around I think 140k. As a 22 year old I thought “eh I don’t want that responsibility right now.” I still kick myself at the age of 46 for not buying it. Oh well, it’s far out of my price range forever it seems now.
I wish I could move but its so expensive too!
The people of San Diego were horrible before the homeless problem
and you were always horrible
The government has to pass housing affordability legislation. Nothing else will stop predatory banks and landlords' extreme exploitation..
Government and rich people don't need more money ther already rich ther just acting like kawerds Greedy
Waaaah!!!! No. Just don’t be useless.
You are an idiot! 😂 expect the government to make it better for you? They f× ck up everything they touch.
Hi. It's dumb people like you that want a Govt to decide your every move. The Govt needs to stay out of business, but, you can't understand that. Please stop voting.
It's funny that you think the government is required to save you from the exorbidant costs of living that you created
As long as they dont come to TJ its all good.
No problemo.
Tijuana is no longer considered cheap it already got expensive who tf wants to live over there anyway with cartels and homicides everyday 😂
Some parts of San Diego are as dangerous…. So they don’t have to go to experience TJ
@@bbustin1747 but TJ is worse not even the cops in Tijuana are safe from cartels 😂
They already have buddy , haven’t you seen the rent prices increase? Or decrease? All prices are up in tj bro
I'm leaving San Diego in about 4 months, too expensive
Paradise with a 35% higher cost of living than 47 other states. Paradise with RVs and trailers on the side of the road tents homeless people everywhere people shooting drugs up on the streets this is your idea of paradise
It's March 2024, and a 3 bedroom apt in mira mesa is $5K. Smh.
GENTRIFICATION
A soda is 5 dollars
The highest in the nation indeed
No longer America’s Finest City?
It still is compared to the alternatives.
They always wanted us to san fran south without the better pay
Interview Wes Watson to get a real san Diego review
Hahaha love Wes..
A bunch of folks have moved to Georgia too.
they are going to find out that the Grass Is NOT Greener on the other side of the fence....
Au contraire. We discovered it to be far greener than we even imagined.
I live in New York and you don't have one city that can compete us.What is san diego? 1 million? Try over twenty million in new york. And you don't make near the money.We do in a real city and we have public transit that you'll can't even joke about
They keep saying that but I never see any changes I still see a ton of people everywhere
You said the US Census is how you calculate people moving wake up U-Haul is the the accurate information they keep track of all moving companies and moving truck rental companies that's where you get accurate information Mr news reporter
Same with Austin, TX
No Austin is much cheaper compared to SD
You don't get good value for what you pay for. Its a town for rich folks that just want vistas & ocean close.Most would love to live there,nice weather,& mts. But value wise it doesn't add up.
You've been there four yearly didn't realize it
$7 for a cantaloupe and $24 for a watermelon at lazy acres ya it’s OUTRAGEOUS
I wouldn't eat watermelon if you paid me $24.
San Diego should be called LA South.
More like Tijuana North except the roads are better in TJ.
LA South aka Watts
