Anyone lived there before?  I've got an opportunity near Solana Beach that came up and it looks like I may be out of Denver in the coming months. 

The cost of living seems high but I'm used to it living most recently in DC and now Denver.  Just to add on--a lot of peeps that know me well from Cali or have lived there think I'd love it but the closest I've ever been is Dana Point. 

So, I'm looking to see what y'all think of it and whatnot.  Peace.

It'll be the best decision you have ever made. especially Solana Beach. It's s little surfer suburb that is about 25-30 minutes from the hustle of the actual city.  

It's right next to Del Mar, which is super rich and full of fine dining. 

You will have the best Mexican food and best craft beer you can imagine. 

People here can tend to be pompous ass holes in the rich area, but for the most part everyone is super chill. Like, stereotypical stoned surfer chill. 

A couple things to note:

- public transportation here is a complete joke. 

- the cost of living is high

- you pay for the weather

- I didn't wear a jacket once this year

- I went to the beach this morning, I'm gonna be there again tomorrow morning. 

- sunset on the west coast in a Mediterranean climate is out of this world. 

- miss the snow? Hour drive away to snowboard

- wanna get your actual bro on? Hour drive to the dunes.

- want the best sea food? Short drive to Peurto Nueva (Mexico)

- may be one of the more culturally diverse cities outside of LA

- you just won at life

Ok, now I'm excited haha.  I mean Denver has been awesome and I feel I've finally settled in but if I land an offer, it's going to be too good to pass up.  I'm still close to skiing/boaridng spots and at the beach.

San Diego is awesome, never personally lived there but my buddy went to UCSD so I made the commute from LA to SD quite often.

The Mexican food is stop notch.

The craft beer is top notch.

The beaches are top notch.

And of course the women are top notch.

thats all I got for you, @OnlyPantherFaninMaine and @jayflip have both lived/currently live in SD.

When I'm flown out in 2 weeks, I may try to swing by Ballast Point or Green Flash if I have the time.

Go to the Ballast in Little Italy. It's unreal. 

You'll get to try the special casks and flavor combos every week that no one else in the country will get to try.

I was born and raised in SD. Lived there until 1993 when I moved east. I grew up and lived in the Pt. Loma area, lived in Mission and Ocean Beach areas when I was in the Navy. Served on the Ocean Beach Town Council for a couple terms until I moved to the North County- Encinitas, where I lived from 1987-1993. The worst thing about living in the North County was my commute into the city every day. Huge ball suck there. But I was getting ready to retire from the Navy and I was still competing in triathlons and there was no better place to ride, swim and train than North County.

Any way, I loved it there and am proud to call it my home town. But it just got way too crowded for me and as close to retirement as I was, I knew I couldn't afford to live there on a pension and I wasn't sure what I was going to do after my Navy career was over.

      It's not even a particularly nuanced opinion, yet it seems out of reach for so many.

      Bryce's Achilles Heel Is Not What You Think It Is

      By strato · Posted

      I don’t think he can be great. For me he tops out as starter maybe make the playoffs, stuff like that. I would have been okay with that kind of player as a placeholder but you don’t invest the time and assets we did and be happy with that.  On the cure,If a guy has mechanical flaws but otherwise is enticing, you let someone else make the mistake of taking him in the top of the 1st. If he doesn’t get taken you can pick him up 2nd or 3rd day and try to develop him (off the bench not starting).  The risk/reward with Bryce was horribly misjudged. I didn’t want to trade like that in the first place because I didn’t see the generation talent that justifies that type of move, but once it was done CJ was the better gamble. No doubt.

      Hey You, You Don't Know Quarterbacking

      That's what I mean. If you claim to possess some super knowledge about the QB position from a previous non-football but football related job, wouldn't you want to expound upon that to support this "everyone doesn't know anything about being a QB" thesis? The rest is just summed up by stating that there are a lot of variables to a QB being successful. Yeah....I mean that isn't earth shattering.  While there is certainly a lot of luck involved in all manners of success, consistent success with the variables around you also changing on a regular basis is usually fairly conclusive.  Is Trent Dilfer the same as Tom Brady? Is Nick Foles the same as Patrick Mahomes? I supposed based on the OP's arguments, they are. That's not really the way it turned out, however.  The NFL isn't unlike most other jobs or even other sports. The cream typically does rise to the top on a more consistent basis. Is it accidental that premier poker players seem to win or perform very well on a consistent basis, give that any individual hand is largely luck?
