Calbreath says: it's freaking expensive to live in SD.

Dean Calbreath from The Union Tribune says it's expensive to live in San Diego, not only that, but it's hard to find a "dream job" in the city as well. And to top it all off there has been a massive exodus out of San Diego because it's so hard to live here, what with no job and one of the highest median home prices in the country.

Over the past five years, far more people have moved out of San Diego than have moved in from other locales in the United States. (This doesn't include the continuing inflow of foreign immigrants, which is another story altogether.) According to the U.S. Census Bureau, there has been a net domestic outflow of more than 130,000 people leaving San Diego over the past six years.

Schweyer's poll found that when workers try to decide whether to relocate to another city, career and professional opportunities are usually the top concern – even higher than cost of living or housing. Which suggests that if we want to find buyers for those dream houses of ours, we might want to put more emphasis on creating the dream jobs that can afford them.
