Years 1.5 through 45 spent in San Diego county. Really have no interest in living there ever again.

Drivers? Not the best, not the worst, but dear dog in heaven..... having no precipitation 361 days of the year (and zero snow) translates into a world where huge portions of the people barreling down the 5 with you are driving on seriously bald tires. Still chuckle at the accident counts when it sprinkles

Plenty of good (and plenty of really, really bad) food options in San Diego and LA. Then again, finding good food isn't really that hard if you've got a willingness to try the dives and time to explore. And no, the "Chinese" food in 98% of US restaurants isn't anything like what the locals eat in Shenzhen or in Shunde.
