Why I Had To Leave San Diego
video description
I still live in San Diego, I would describe it as a beach town that was never meant to be bigger then Ocean Beach, Here are some of my thoughts on SD
1. I have worked a variety of jobs here and never once made nearly enough money to afford even the smallest studio apartment in the low cost areas, its expensive, like crazy expensive. We got people living out of their vehicles here.
2. People who move to San Diego move here for emotional reasons (beach, weather, but they leave for practical reasons like a job or being able to buy a house
3. It has variety, but never takes itself that seriously, and that speaks to the beach town mentality. That is why people here rave about the weather and Mexican take out. For example, we do not have any great sport teams, but people live here because they can ride their bike or surf 12 months out of the year, not for the team sports.
4. SD is an ideal city, if you are looking for a new city to move to, even if you do not know anyone, because you can show up and just spend the day walking around down town or the beach. Whereas in alot of other USA cities, are too cold, too hot or are simply not built for casually walking around. I suspect SD is a popular city for people who want to just go off, and do things by themselves.
5. All the things I just listed, makes SD a melting pot of people, with no connection to anyone else here, as if the whole city is just hanging out until they move away (as many do) or go to the beach, again. All those people who are renting a room in a house, are not thinking about starting a family, they are thinking how much longer till they can get their own place, or will they end up having to move.

I feel like this video was calling for me man. I've been noticing that I haven't been improving on many things particularly because I'm too comfortable. I've been living with my parents not paying any rent and I guess I have no pressure to fuel me and reach higher goals, I stay on YouTube for too long man. I was born in the 19th of December so it's funny this video was published on that day too. Thanks for this man.

The dark mode on the monitors, is night in real life. and this diurnal sky, blue or white ( in the video ) is killing eyesight.
True eyesight should be the milky way, the stars, not this blue shit. the sun can not pass the canopea and solarized the skin. Winter will bring you back to the quiet and peacefull mood.
Stay away from the sun worshipper monsters.

I feel similarly, especially as a fellow San Diego native. Last summer I grabbed a friend, took a train to San Fransisco, and ride bicycles along the coast all the way back home. Enjoying nature and the solidarity. Enjoying the silence, which is something I hadn't heard - or not heard - in a long time.

You are hanging with jon venus, Brian? I hope you call him out on his egg eating! He ate six eggs or was it 12. The thing is he is not vegan anymore, but plant based. He ate them deliberately. That was not necessary.

I agree, but, being a San Diego native, I gotta say that if you go for a walk in shorts at 6AM in the middle of winter, you'll be plenty uncomfortable lol. Unless you do Wim Hof. Then you'll just be cool (pun intended): )
