San Diego has everything you can possibly need. Its close to the border, which means you are less than half hour away from enjoying all that Mexico has to offer. You have lots of beaches to choose from, unique and special in their own way. People always talk about the weather, but its honestly one of the best to ever exist. You never know what you're going to get, it can be winter and you may still be able to wear shorts and sandals. The culture is amazing here too. I love going to different mini cities around here and try new coffee, new food, and thrift shops. I always have something to do here, which keeps things interesting. The schools here are great, and they help minorities reach their educational goals, I'm currently going to Southwestern College and I haven't felt so welcome in a long time. Also, we have Julian California, where you can experience snow and delicious pie. The mini city of Julian is one for the books, and it just adds to the fact that San Diego has it all!
San Diego is an INCREDIBLE city! So many things to do, particularly outdoors, and for free. Excellent food, coffee, and beer. Great running/hiking/biking culture. It's a diverse city, and constantly attracts new people, so it is easy to make friends as an adult. Yes, housing is expensive. Yet in many career fields, the pay is significantly higher than in other cities, and if you can tolerate a 20 minute drive to the beach, there are affordable neighborhoods in which to live.
Point Loma, San Diego CA is historically, culturally, and recreationally rich! Cabrillo National Monument has tidepools and the unparalleled views of the Pacific Ocean, San Diego bay, and the downtown San Diego nighttime skyline. Fort Rosecrans National Cemetery is a federal cemetery having one of the best views in San Diego Bay and ocean. Liberty Station has the Liberty Public Market with stalls offering foods, beers, wines, and pastries.
