If you have a choice, choose San Diego. It's a much, much nicer place to live than the L.A. basin.
yep. San Diego is very nice.. That said, I'm from Michigan.. ask anyone in the summer that lives in Michigan about Los Angeles, and they can't understand why I live out here... but --- they have 3 months of summer weather. we have 12 months of summer weather. I don't miss the slush and the gray skies. and the winter cold that hangs around until mid April (and starts in late September)---- 8 months of chilly .
