25 years in San Diego. Watched it go from a Republican military town, to a Democrat welfare city. The great weather only goes so far, when you are paying $6 per gallon of gas to sit in traffic for 2 hours to commute five miles or paying $500 a month for electricity (in 2015) in a house so small and crowded together that you could literally open your window and touch your neighbors house.
I don't know how people afford to live there if they didn't purchase their house 20 years ago. In the neighborhood I lived in, a 1500 square foot houses went from $150k to nearly $1.2m despite the 2008 crash tanking the market for a time.
