Vacationing there is great, but if you are used to a fast pace, with mentally alert peers, get ready for a big culture change!
I've been to cities in Europe, and I've even spent time in Australia, but San Diego was actually a bigger culture change to me, even though it is part of the US.

yeah I'd say SD is the opposite of a place like NY.. but that's DEF not a bad thing! But for someone like me that is always in a hurry and trying to get somewhere and do soemthing, I need to remind myself to take a deep breath and take in the sights around me and CHILL OUT when I'm standing in line at some store and the guy in front of me has been talking to the cashier about "the killer waves we surfed yesterday" for the last 10 mins and I'm trying to not get impatient hehe..
When I moved out to Cali, I landed in OC because I knew nothing of the difference between LA, Orange County and San Diego..I just knew I wanted to live in SoCal! now I know, they are 3 totally different worlds, and depending on what you want to do and the kind of people you want to surround yourself with, you should know the diff before you move out here hehe
and I didn't mean to discourage you with the $3000 a month, you def won't need 10k a month for all of your bills, but it was a HUGE shock to me when I moved out here and started paying $2500 for a 2bed 2 bath tiny little apartment when I was paying $1200 for a 4 bedroom 3 level house in Colorado..everything out here is fucking expensive!! Gas, groceries..you have to vallet park wherever you go..But ask anybody who lives here and they will tell you "it's worth it! Look around you!"
