Considering relocating In San Diego, opinions please!!!
Ok guys, first things first I was born and bred in New York City. Never got the experience of traveling to the West Coast but I've heard from numerous amount of people I know it's where you want to be! Researched a lot of cities in California and I'm hearing for the most part San Diego is favored. I've been researching San Diego and the weather sounds terrific; blows NYC away on that end. Looking into city jobs for San Diego and thinking about enrolling for Police Officer Recruit and eventually after graduation upon academy(Hopefully) become an actual Police Officer. If anyone has more insight upon that, that would be amazing the more information the merry! Also if someone happens to be on the job I'd like to ask you questions if that's ok! So i have two strong hobbies as well; I am a barber; have been for the past 5 Years professionally; but a total of 10 years in doing so. I also love to branch off in training such as Boxing, judo, bjj, wrestling, etc. I've come across 2 powerhouse MMA gyms in San Diego which I'd love to check out. So my goal is to enroll for this Police Officer recruit position; hopefully get granted the job; as well on the side work in the Barbershop just to have some extra cash being that I am completely relocating and financially it will take a toll upon me in the beginning; but as well hope to find some time to train! If anyone can give me any insights on San Diego please! As far as rent's concerned, how much will a 1-2 Bedroom cost in a good area nearby Chula Vista. I know I'm throwing a lot out there but; I'm all ears to whatever you guys have to say!

Sorry guys, I know my title says "In San Diego"; not sure why I wrote In but I cannot figure out how to change the title "To San Diego", forgive me for my improper grammar!

good luck on the police academy, i might be going into the same route as well but over in orange county since there's one like 10 mins away from my house. still debating on if i want to do firefighter/emt or police. san diego is a nice place, and in socal we're pretty spoiled with weather. i would recommend saving at least 3-4 months worth of rent and expenses before moving here. but definitely use the site gen recommended.

San Diego is pretty awesome. Might want to visit before thinking about moving though. :-)
As for training bjj, unless you're really freaking awesome at bjj, that's probably a no go. SoCal has high end black belts all over the place. Same thing with judo (with the added issue (if you're trying to make money) that a lot of the judo places are non profit (sun valley judo in LA charges $10/month for example. I go to sawtelle and it's $90/3 months +$15 per additional family member)). |

As a charter pilot, I have seen quite a few American cities. I LOVE almost all the Pacific coast cities.
San Diego, Carlsbad, Orange County, select parts of LA, Carpinteria, Santa Barbara, Santa Cruz, The SF Bay area, Eureka, Portland, Seattle, Vancouver (yes, not U.S.), and smaller towns in between. Most have quite high COL, and no doubt my perception is biased, but as a place to hang your hat, you could do way worse. Like say.. New Jersey. And if you can't make it here, there's always Vegas. If Vegas doesn't work, there's always Reno ![]() |
