    You're missing it today. Mid 70's and light breeze coming out of the west. One of those perfect SD weather days.

      Thanks man. It's like 85 and humid as hell here. Makes it feel like it is 95 and breathing underwater.

      Although it has been uncharacteristically nice here lately.

      But still, nothing like S.D.

        Whenever I go back East, the humidity is what gets me. Speaking of which, I will be in your neck of the woods possibly for my annual baseball trip mid july.

          I'm in SD, but Huntington was nice today.

          With summer creeping up, I can wear my shirt, shorts, and flip-flops regularly, even when I go to school at 6:45. (when it's usually too cold to wear that stuff during the winter/spring)

            Weather: Perfect
            Women: Perfect
            Beaches: Very Good

            It's got the perfect blend of beach life, college life, professional life, party life, and everything in between.
            I've been to San Diego several times and I think it's a great area.

            San Diego's weather is better than Vancouver's. BC is the most expensive Province to live in Canada, but I know San Diego housing prices are still generally more expensive.

            Vancouver is also close to one of the best skiing resorts in the world (Whistler).


            I think the Olympics coming here in 2010 is even going to make this place better. The main problem that's here and not in San Diego is drugs.

            A lot of travel magazines come up with their annual best cities to live/visit and Vancouver is almost always in the top 5 each year. I never see San Diego up there.

            In conclusion, if I had to come up with a list of the top 5 places I would want to live in North America, Vancouver and San Diego would both be on my list.

              Let me know when you're out here. We can hit up a Nationals game if they are in town. Then you can see just how horrible that stadium is with your own eyes.

              San Diego is here the 7th-9th. Darren Smith from the Mighty XX had Loretta hook me up with some field level tickets when they were here last year. I can easily score some more or just pick some up.

                How did Honolulu make the list? Outside of weather, what does it have going for it? The traffic is terrible, cost of living is very high, and the job market sucks.

                      The main thing I don't understand is that the title says "The world's top cities offering the best quality of life"

                      How is Amsterdam at 13?

                          As long as LA isnt on the list, I'm fine.

                            Personally, I feel there's no better city in the world than Baghdad.

                              who cares.. everyone has their own biases/ I dont need a magazine or book to persuade me into doing anything.

                                I'll vouch for SD being up there. I love going there during the summer, it somewhat reminds me of Hawaii and eventually I'll want to move out there but that's further down the road. One thing for sure, it beats the oven heat in Vegas.
