2. My wife and I moved to San Diego in 1975

We got a decent one bedroom apartment for $125 a month, including utilities.
It’s easily 10 times that now.

(Of course, that was 43 years ago)

3. At least 10 times and probably much more.

Love the San Diego, La Jolla area!

4. I love San Diego

...and I agree that the costs here are outrageous; however, I will gladly pay the price to live in SD.When accounting for differences in pay for areas where cost of living is lower mixed in with the potential for shoveling snow, hurricanes, tornadoes, etc., then it's totally worth it.
