Should I move to San Diego or Houston?
Salaries are the same the first year (San Diego is higher after that, but the difference will be eaten up with the higher cost of living and the taxes). I don't have family in either city.
My wife and I like a lot of things about both cities. Houston: Pros: Cost of living and excellent winter weather, no state income tax. Cons: the traffic, the summer weather and my allergies may or may not bother me (more likely in Houston than San Diego, but possible in either city) San Diego: Pros: excellent weather year round, it's San Deigo. Cons: cost of living, high california taxes, a bankrupt state government. So, what do you all think? |

Houston may also be more cigar-friendly than Cali too. But on the other hand, I can't forget what Johnny Winter said: "There's so much $#!+ in Texas, you're bound to step in some".

Houston: Astros, Rockets, Texans, Aeros (AHL)
San Diego: Padres, Chargers, Seduction (Lingerie Football League) Obvious advantage San Diego...

Re: Should I move to San Diego or Houston?
I've lived in California and Texas... I choose California over Texas any day of the week!
There is a lot wrong with California but there is a lot right about it too. I can be in the mountains in less than an hour. I can be at the ocean in two hours. I can water ski (with no fear of Alligators or fish bigger than me) or I can snow ski. So much to do and see!!! Plus, I have one of the best Breweries in my backyard!!!

Re: Should I move to San Diego or Houston?
The main hangup with SD is paying $500K for an 1800 sq. ft. house that hasn't been updated for 40 years. I know, it's the price you pay to live there.
Also, taking into account the difference in housing costs and the state income tax alone, I'd be making the equivalence of $2000 less per month in SD. Hmmm... |

Re: Should I move to San Diego or Houston?
For me it would be California.
Yea it's pricier than Texas but there is a lot to do especially family oriented things as well. The beach, the dunes, the snow, coastal trips, lakes, etc. If housing is your biggest concern and the price of it then look around. You just might find a gem when you least expect it. My wife and I were debating on not buying out here until we found a 3400 sqft for $300k. Remember you don't have to live in San Diego exactly. You can search the outskirts and still find something. I would suggest doing this for both cities of course. Ask the brothers from the S.H.I.T. crew about some places as well. |

You know my vote, David.
While I don't know anything about Houston, San Diego is a great, albeit expensive, place to live.

Dayum. That would make your decision a whole lot easier now, wouldn't it?

Re: Should I move to San Diego or Houston?
I'm reading the disaster classic Lucifer's Hammer, dude California doesn't exist anymore after Hammerfall!
I live in Oklahoma, I'd vote for Texas. You'll have a ton of fun, there is lots to do, and you'll have some money left over at the end of the month.
