Need help with San Diego area

[TGM]

Quote from SHOSTYLE:

I recentyly traded in South Beach, FL and loved living here for about a year, my honeymoon with the celeb infested island has now finished and I am very much looking forward to leaving. I have been to san diego many times and I am now planning on moving out there in Jan. Most of my friends live out there and have nothing but good to say about the place. Coming from South Beach, anywhere is more polite and civilized, I think socal people are great. Never had any probs out there. I am only 23 so, The party scene in PB couldnt be better for me. I have family and friends in Encinitas and I agree with the earlier post that it is the best place to live (outside of PB or if you can penny up for La Jolla). Great locale and very safe place. There are a few shops opening out there and I know of one very succeful trader based in La Jolla...If you dont mind an early wake up call, personally I dont think you can find a better place to trade from (other than vail or breckenridge during ski season)...
Cheers

I know of a well to do trader in LaJolla as well. I have never heard him say anything about crime in LaJolla.

I have another friend who lived in Mission Peach for quite a while. He owns a home/condo in Pointe Loma now?? (I think that I spelled it correct). He has never had any problems to speak off. Maybe some petty theft. But I never hear him bitch about San Diego.

Of course, he grew up near me in Detroit so his concept of bad may be a little different than most. But when I visited out there. I did not see much crime or anything I would be worried about.



What shops are opening up there? Stocks or Futures?

I lived in Carlsbad for 8 years. Zero crime. Check craiglist for rentals.

Quote from Pabst:

I imagine nights in the winter when it gets quite cold inland are a bit warmer near the beach also.

Let me ask. On a typical winter/early spring afternoon what are the temperature differentials between La Jolla and inland? Is it rare for beach temps to reach the 70's? Are there many days with highs only in the 50's? Marine layer lasts how far into the day?

Actually, it all depends how far inland you live. In general, the winters are similar both places.

Spring/ summer, it is 8 to 10 degrees cooler on the beach. Say high 70's after marine layer burns off, vs high 80's inland. These are aves though (I just looked it up to give an accurate assessment cause I couldn't remember exact values). However, the La Mesa area has LOTS of days in the mid 90's, the coast has none except for the occaisional heat wave. I like both areas, but prefer the cooler weather.

BTW, winter highs are almost always 60's, but yes, sometimes it gets colder. You never get a freeze. Some people say SD has the perfect weather. I say upcountry Maui does.
