I agree , San Diego is beautiful. One of the nicest and cleanest cities i’ve visited and a family vacation spot for us. Just doesn’t have as many jobs as compared to Silicon Valley hence the rent cost
$4k at least for a small 3-bedroom old bungalow in a bad area. $5-6K for a two story 4 brdroom is average. Theres one near me renting for $6500 2500 sq ft home. Im in the south bay area
Definitely much higher net worth. Middle class in other states is lower class here in the Bay IMO. I recall an article here stating that combined household income must be around low $400k to afford a median house
