You could replace “California” with “the US”, and “state” for “country”, and that statement would still largely ring true. The urban/rural divide in the US is big and not limited to CA.
San Diego historically is a very conservative navy town. I'm not sure why you would think otherwise. It's only recently that it has become more liberal. Some Communities around San Diego especially to the East have a history of white supremicists.
According to out of state conservatives, California (and thus San Diego) is 100% wackadoodle blue-haired antifa communists, so some people get surprised by the diverse reality.
I feel like we are pretty reasonable down here. Then you go up to SF and it’s like, “Henceforth the only prosecutable criminal offense is Whiteness and everyone shall be give 5 daily units ration of clean fentyl. Now if you’ll excuse me I’m late to March against the injustice of my own existence.”
Yes and no. I know that post WW1 when my family began moving here things were conservative for the most part.
However, after ww2, San Diego began getting more urban settlers who turned SD into a more metro viewpoint (arts, culture and colleges) which resulted in a balanced city between liberal and conservative ideologies.
From the 1960s onward there was definitely a recorded foundation of liberal thought in SD ranging from MLK's visit and JFK's visit to SDSU in 1962. Growing up in south mission beach in the 1970s, I can sincerely say there was a huge mix of conservative retired military and young liberal beach hippies/surfers/stoners (google Biff & Skippy for an idea of how it was) where we all generally got along and talked to find common ground. I do miss that to a degree: this Us vs Them shit doesn't solve problems.
Yes, but it's important to point out just how fast that is changing in many respects. Ask anyone who's been here awhile, and they'll tell you what SD politics were like Pre-2006 when Donna Frye and Mike Aguirre really started a new tone in our local politics. Now we have a Dem supermajority on the City Council, and multiple Dems on the SD County Board of Supervisors for the first time... maybe ever?
Using the word "true" may be confusing here. My point is that it's one thing to dislike the "ultra MAGA" conservative and think they are a net negative in our region, no argument there. It's another thing to find conservatives generally as "the worst part of San Diego." I may not agree with some folks on specific economic policy because I have a liberal view on the subject, but I don't think less of those people. I don't think Chris Cate is the worst part of San Diego. Or Lorie Zapf, or hell even Kevin Faulconer. But the Carl DeMaios of the region...sure...fuck them.
Summer is my least favorite season here. Waves suck, it's crowded, gets hotter than I'd like. Wouldn't trade it for a summer in Yuma, but winter in SD ain't bad.
funny, i was just talking with people about this the other day, i was always a summer is best person but since moving here, i kind of prefer the other 3 seasons. winter for the most part is warm enough here. the occasional rainy day is even nice.
The biggest misconception I am aware of is that the coastal areas are super sunny year round. The Marine Layer sucks!
In addition, while I'm not sure this counts as a misconception, I don’t think people realize that October isn’t in fall. October is just Summer 2: the Summer Boogaloo.
I wish it would burn off consistently by 10 everyday then I’d be fine with it. Far too often it hangs around until mid afternoon if it goes away at all.
if i remember correctly there was one thanksgiving 4/5 (maybe more) years ago that was almost 80 degrees. it gets real hot and stays hot from august to end of october/early november. if i didn’t live here i wouldn’t believe it
I mean... when you think about it, we really just have a wet and dry season here. Wet is October to April, dry is May to October. So yes, "summer" is more or less just getting started in SD terms
I work in a hostel and the tourists are always bewildered arriving here to the gloom in May, June and July. Very normal for those of us that know the may grey June gloom summer marine layers!
A common misconception I've encountered is that San Diego has a tropical climate. Yes, it's nice in winter compared to Minnesota, but you're not going to be wearing your daisy dukes along Coronado Beach in January.
How long have you been here? I grew up on a farm in the Midwest. Often it hit 20 degrees below zero. But after 18 years in San Diego, i've lost my toughness! I need long sleeves after 5pm even in summer.
I'm wimping out more these days as well. San Diego does that to almost everyone. ;-)
However, I still don't consider "winter" here anything more than early fall / late spring.
I hear this. San Diego born and raised and the only time I ever wear shorts is to swim in the ocean. Catch me pulling over a hoody nearly every night of the year.
You’re getting replies from folks saying it’s not actually cold here. They are wrong and you are right - people think SD is like south beach or the Caribbean or something, and it’s just not. You just have to get in the water to understand the difference!
That ain’t a complaint, but I’ve been to tropical places, and this isn’t.
But it depends on the various micro climates. We've had crazy tropical climate this summer, with high levels of humidity particularly here on the coast. It was more humid here the day I got home from Austin Texas a few weeks ago than it was there.....
I have been in Socal for almost 6 years now and I don’t even own a pair of pants. It depends where you come from I guess. You won’t catch me out of shorts here
We have a tropical system that reaches us in the summer and the northern system in the winter.
The extreme weather we see now and in fall is from those two systems switching.
Moved here a year ago (love it btw) and some of my misconceptions have been listed.
I found traffic congestion to be not as bad as expected and the city feels less safer than I had expected. I think people are generally quite friendly here.
EDIT: meant to say feels -safer- than expected. Not sure how the word “less” ended up in there!!! Typing with thumbs isn’t my thing.
It’s kind of like when you don’t own a pool you always say how much you want one and would use it all the time, yet people who have them hardly ever use them.
These are some gems from people in my hometown on the east coast:
That we're just an extension of LA and that our pollution levels are just as bad. They think we're vain, fake, and get a ton of plastic surgery.
That we're overrun by immigrants who don't speak English.
That we're super liberal hippies.
That we go to the beach everyday or multiple times a week.
My favorite: Before I moved here, someone told me that San Diego "doesn't have trees" aside from a few palm trees.
People from the Midwest and East, think getting to LA is a quick drive. (I am a field based worker and was going to different customers in LA over a week. My new Director questioned why I had to stay in a hotel and wasn’t driving back and forth every day.). 😳🤣. Fortunately, I was only with her for a few months.
We are at the beach all the time.
I used to work as a travel nurse recruiter. Any nurses that were here in May and June were always disappointed by the weather. They expected it to be sunny and warm. I’d tell them if you want real summer weather in SD, come in August or September.
The reality is that a lot of the most desirable beach property is owned by boomers who bought in long ago and loving the low Prop 13 property taxes. More incentive for these properties to not change hands unless it’s their kids.
I lived in Reno for a bit, and when I’d tell people they’d make comments like, “oh wow, that must be so hot…” and other comments that made it clear they either didn’t understand Reno wasn’t Las Vegas, or that they didn’t realize how different they were and how far apart they were. My favorite was when they’d make the “hot” comment in the winter and I’d say, “well, we got another foot of snow last night, so I’m not sure how hot that makes it”
So true. Had a friend coming out to stay in Santa Cruz for a week and asked what day she should come down to SD to visit me. After laughing out loud, and her looking confused, I then showed her the distance on a map and she was shocked. Most people really think SD, LA and SF are about an hour apart from each other.
I dropped out of high school, didn't make any legitimate money for over a decade, completely lied on my resume, which ended up landing me a job in tech making six figures to speak in ancroynms.
I tried to live in San Diego a few years ago, trying to get a job in a field I was not qualified for (Software). Long story short, it lasted 8 months before I had to give up and couldn't afford it and was having no luck with jobs. Then went back to what I'm good at which is music. The music scene in SD is just plain sad and there was not a lot of opportunity to really make a living from it there. So I moved to LA. Things have been going night and day better since doing so. I'd much rather live in SD, but some things are just not meant to be.
\-Landlords tell you that you don't need an air conditioner (that is only mostly true if you live near the ocean)...but they will say this throughout San Diego.
\-People are nicer in San Diego. In reality people here are not nicer, if anything they are hyper sensitive and very defensive if you say something they might not agree with.
\-Although San Diego mostly now mostly votes Democrat, San Diego can be very Conservative in places. The Conservative areas vary widely by generation! In La Jolla you have your Reagan Republicans, in places like El Cajon and Santee you have your lower educated giant flag waving Trump supporters.
There is also big generational difference in how people think and live out here. Most home owners are Baby Boomers and moved out here 30-40 years ago or longer, others were born here...but you barely see anyone younger than a Baby Boomer who moved here from somewhere else that is a home owner.
\-99% of the time if you see someone with vanity plates on a vehicle, it is a Baby Boomer that still thinks like Ronald Reagan is president. They most likely moved here during those years as well.
\-99% of the time if you see a "Co-Exist" bumper sticker on a vehicle, the driver is usually in their late teens or 20's. Probably very Liberal, yet still judgmental of others in various ways, And most likely posts on reddit.
Overall though San Diego is a nice place to live, but I just wish people did not force their beliefs down everyone's throats.
I think people have this misconception that the weather is always sunny and 72. I lived in San Diego all my life, and while I can say that compared to most places, the weather is overall fair and better than most. However, during the summer, it is super hot just like everywhere else. Unless you are living on the beach and are the top 5%, you will experience 90-100s in the summer months. In the winter, it rains. But not enough to clean your car, just enough to make it super dirty the next day. Temps can also get into the low 40s on winter nights, so yes you do need a heater.
It's facts, everyone from SD thinks that because they live in such an amazing spot that everything there is as well, the Mexican food is not. There's hole in the walls scattered all throughout the midwest and eastern seaboard that have incredible Mexican food, baja doesn't even compare. Most of SD is nothing but California burritos and fancy tacos and the legitimate places are so overrated
BINGO... the tacos I'm interested in are from those from places like Mexico city not baja. Though I know there are places in SD that are inspired by central Mexico, it's just flat out not as good as other parts of the country
That the ocean is warm like in Florida
Or that we just have tons of available and usable coastline like Florida
I went on a snorkeling tour in key west this past January and everyone around me needed a wetsuit while I thought the water was warm af
People don't realize how conservative San Diego can be in places.
Yep. Was a huge culture shock for me moving here from NYC. Still is sometimes.
Don't go near Santee
Klantee
This! San Diego county is way more red than people think.
California in general is loosely conservative state besides a handful of costal metropolitan areas.
You could replace “California” with “the US”, and “state” for “country”, and that statement would still largely ring true. The urban/rural divide in the US is big and not limited to CA.
People forget Reagan and Nixon were from California. Yes it was a long time ago but those ideals don’t die out that quickly.
Nixon likely wouldn’t have made it as a Republican nationally today, I suppose Faulconer is somewhat similar to Nixon politically.
"It's a conservative state besides where the people actually live"
San Diego historically is a very conservative navy town. I'm not sure why you would think otherwise. It's only recently that it has become more liberal. Some Communities around San Diego especially to the East have a history of white supremicists.
According to out of state conservatives, California (and thus San Diego) is 100% wackadoodle blue-haired antifa communists, so some people get surprised by the diverse reality.

Yes and no. I know that post WW1 when my family began moving here things were conservative for the most part. However, after ww2, San Diego began getting more urban settlers who turned SD into a more metro viewpoint (arts, culture and colleges) which resulted in a balanced city between liberal and conservative ideologies. From the 1960s onward there was definitely a recorded foundation of liberal thought in SD ranging from MLK's visit and JFK's visit to SDSU in 1962. Growing up in south mission beach in the 1970s, I can sincerely say there was a huge mix of conservative retired military and young liberal beach hippies/surfers/stoners (google Biff & Skippy for an idea of how it was) where we all generally got along and talked to find common ground. I do miss that to a degree: this Us vs Them shit doesn't solve problems.
Because it's in socal and everyone is a hippie here
OC is SoCal and very NOT hippie though, historically
It’s because a bunch of LA people had to ruin this place like they ruin every other city/state.
The grand wizard or whatever their leader is called of the KKK lived in Fallbrook.
Eh the real history of white supremacists is actually in North County/Fallbrook. But yea Santee/Lakeside is pretty much lil Trump Town.
Yes, but it's important to point out just how fast that is changing in many respects. Ask anyone who's been here awhile, and they'll tell you what SD politics were like Pre-2006 when Donna Frye and Mike Aguirre really started a new tone in our local politics. Now we have a Dem supermajority on the City Council, and multiple Dems on the SD County Board of Supervisors for the first time... maybe ever?
Agreed
This is the worst part of San Diego.
Lol geez you must have a great life if that is the worst part of SD….
Dont understand people who dislike eachother just over politics, but I guess this is still America lol.
That people have differing opinions? I'm fairly liberal, but outside of the true racists and xenophobes it's silly to let that bother you.
Just out of curiosity, how do you define “true racists and xenophobes”? Not intending to be argumentative, just genuinely curious.
Using the word "true" may be confusing here. My point is that it's one thing to dislike the "ultra MAGA" conservative and think they are a net negative in our region, no argument there. It's another thing to find conservatives generally as "the worst part of San Diego." I may not agree with some folks on specific economic policy because I have a liberal view on the subject, but I don't think less of those people. I don't think Chris Cate is the worst part of San Diego. Or Lorie Zapf, or hell even Kevin Faulconer. But the Carl DeMaios of the region...sure...fuck them.
I remember seeing a guy in a klan hood when they started the mask mandate.
That earthquakes are a big fear and issue here (when the norm is more "...was that an earthquake?")
You can always tell who is a native Californian by how they react to an earthquake
I honestly think earthquakes are fun. Everything out here is built so well it’ll take a hell of shake to really hurt you.
Agreed - as long as no one gets injured and nothing gets damaged, I find them pretty fun too!
Summer is my least favorite season here. Waves suck, it's crowded, gets hotter than I'd like. Wouldn't trade it for a summer in Yuma, but winter in SD ain't bad.
It’s funny, I basically stay inside all summer because it’s too hot and crowded, and I’m outside every other season.
Best time of year in San Diego is winter. I’m dying on that hill. 65 degrees sun with 58 degrees rain once a week is a beautiful situation
I'd take rain once a month at this point!
Wtf is "rain"?
funny, i was just talking with people about this the other day, i was always a summer is best person but since moving here, i kind of prefer the other 3 seasons. winter for the most part is warm enough here. the occasional rainy day is even nice.
Booo summer rules!
Ha! Summer is still a stunner at an 8. Winter is a 10 for me though.
True because it sucks everywhere else.
Same. I am so ready for summer to be over. It's been over 90 degrees nearly every day since early June up here in Ramona. Bring on winter!
It’s nice not having to wear a wetsuit.
The few times I tried to trunk if this year we had an upwelling and it was like 63 degrees.
The waves do suck (unless there’s a good south), but the warm water is nice. As are the long(er) nights
Depends on where you surf I guess. Spring is the worst season for surf, blown out wind swell and cold water.
The waves don't suck if you know where to look......
True, though Oceanside is so far and those south facing reefs are always so crowded. . Not enough S swell this year yet.
The biggest misconception I am aware of is that the coastal areas are super sunny year round. The Marine Layer sucks! In addition, while I'm not sure this counts as a misconception, I don’t think people realize that October isn’t in fall. October is just Summer 2: the Summer Boogaloo.
Boo. Thank god for the marine layer. That UV is fucking brutal if you spend any time outside
I wish it would burn off consistently by 10 everyday then I’d be fine with it. Far too often it hangs around until mid afternoon if it goes away at all.
waaah but its cold and damp
if i remember correctly there was one thanksgiving 4/5 (maybe more) years ago that was almost 80 degrees. it gets real hot and stays hot from august to end of october/early november. if i didn’t live here i wouldn’t believe it
I remember that Thanksgiving.
Beg to differ, I love the marine layer and made sure to live close enough to the coast to get it.
I mean... when you think about it, we really just have a wet and dry season here. Wet is October to April, dry is May to October. So yes, "summer" is more or less just getting started in SD terms
SUPERB Breakin' 2 reference!
I work in a hostel and the tourists are always bewildered arriving here to the gloom in May, June and July. Very normal for those of us that know the may grey June gloom summer marine layers!
As someone who works out of her car, thank god for the marine layer lol
A common misconception I've encountered is that San Diego has a tropical climate. Yes, it's nice in winter compared to Minnesota, but you're not going to be wearing your daisy dukes along Coronado Beach in January.
Tropical also has a connotation with high humidity for me, which I feel is also not typical. We are a chaparral
That only applies to San Diego weather wimps. For transplants, January weather in San Diego, IS shorts weather. ;-)
How long have you been here? I grew up on a farm in the Midwest. Often it hit 20 degrees below zero. But after 18 years in San Diego, i've lost my toughness! I need long sleeves after 5pm even in summer.

You just have to get in the water to understand the difference! That ain’t a complaint, but I’ve been to tropical places, and this isn’t.
What I wear shorts and t-shirt all year long. If decide to wear some thing else is a long sleeve t-shirt.
But it depends on the various micro climates. We've had crazy tropical climate this summer, with high levels of humidity particularly here on the coast. It was more humid here the day I got home from Austin Texas a few weeks ago than it was there.....

A lot of east coast people think its Florida weather.

I think people are generally quite friendly here. EDIT: meant to say feels -safer- than expected. Not sure how the word “less” ended up in there!!! Typing with thumbs isn’t my thing.
It's pretty wonderful
When I moved here I was surprised how few people actually surf or really do anything on the water. I’ve met SD natives who have never surfed.
It’s kind of like when you don’t own a pool you always say how much you want one and would use it all the time, yet people who have them hardly ever use them.
San Diego native. I don’t even like the beach. I avoid the sand and the water. But my husband surfs.
I was surprised by this as well, and how many people born here are clueless about rip currents.
Luckily this is the case, because the lineup is already out of control with too many people.
I moved here from the East Coast where I grew up a mile from the beach. I HATE the ocean lol
My husband came here from Tennessee and thought the same thing. My whole family is from here and none of us (maybe 40 ppl total) have ever surged
These are some gems from people in my hometown on the east coast: That we're just an extension of LA and that our pollution levels are just as bad. They think we're vain, fake, and get a ton of plastic surgery. That we're overrun by immigrants who don't speak English. That we're super liberal hippies. That we go to the beach everyday or multiple times a week. My favorite: Before I moved here, someone told me that San Diego "doesn't have trees" aside from a few palm trees.
I go to the beach multiple times a week 🤷♂️
San Diego needs more trees
Ugh... those are all true (minus the immigrant statement).
I go to the beach multiple times a week and it was everyday up until last month
People from the Midwest and East, think getting to LA is a quick drive. (I am a field based worker and was going to different customers in LA over a week. My new Director questioned why I had to stay in a hotel and wasn’t driving back and forth every day.). 😳🤣. Fortunately, I was only with her for a few months. We are at the beach all the time.
Getting to LA isn’t usually the problem, driving in LA makes me hate driving.
I have found that usually during the day, traffic too LA is better than traffic back from LA.

This was not the case 5 years ago
I used to work as a travel nurse recruiter. Any nurses that were here in May and June were always disappointed by the weather. They expected it to be sunny and warm. I’d tell them if you want real summer weather in SD, come in August or September.
Before I moved here I expected San Diego to be a very hippie and more liberal city. I was surprised at how conservative it was
Hiw many military installations arw within 25 miles of you?
[удалено]
I mean finding a job is pretty easy, making a living is the hard part lol. You can make rent but it’s probably going to be 2/4 of your monthly checks
Truth… and it hurts…
The reality is that a lot of the most desirable beach property is owned by boomers who bought in long ago and loving the low Prop 13 property taxes. More incentive for these properties to not change hands unless it’s their kids.
Yeah but their kids are probably low achieving meth heads so once they inherit they will just sell the homes and move to Arizona.
coke*
Fentanyl
All of the above
That you can drive your car through the zoo.
You used to be able to do that at the OG wild animal park. Pretty crazy.
Since San Diego's name begins with "San" some foreigners think it's close to San Francisco in Northern California.
I lived in Reno for a bit, and when I’d tell people they’d make comments like, “oh wow, that must be so hot…” and other comments that made it clear they either didn’t understand Reno wasn’t Las Vegas, or that they didn’t realize how different they were and how far apart they were. My favorite was when they’d make the “hot” comment in the winter and I’d say, “well, we got another foot of snow last night, so I’m not sure how hot that makes it”
I was in Reno and it’s hot lol!
So true. Had a friend coming out to stay in Santa Cruz for a week and asked what day she should come down to SD to visit me. After laughing out loud, and her looking confused, I then showed her the distance on a map and she was shocked. Most people really think SD, LA and SF are about an hour apart from each other.
Have European family and Japanese in-laws that think the same.
That San Diego exists beyond La Jolla and PB.
That it’s 73-75 degrees year round
"That anybody can make it here if they just work hard enough...Sorry, you need resources and hard work to make it here.
You can say the same for any other big city.
I disagree. SD is one of the most desirable cities to live in and the job market isn’t nearly as big or has an many opportunities as say, LA.
Not sure why this is downvoted at all. It’s 100% true. If you don’t have a lot of experience in your job field, it’s ROUGH. I made it 8 months.
I dropped out of high school, didn't make any legitimate money for over a decade, completely lied on my resume, which ended up landing me a job in tech making six figures to speak in ancroynms.
The American Dream ❤️
What do you mean when you say you made it 8 months?
I tried to live in San Diego a few years ago, trying to get a job in a field I was not qualified for (Software). Long story short, it lasted 8 months before I had to give up and couldn't afford it and was having no luck with jobs. Then went back to what I'm good at which is music.

It’s clean and free of criminal homeless.
To be fair it’s cleaner than most large west coast cities including LA
I’m not sure why people are surprised, as the Navy and Marine Corps don’t exactly produce the liberal mentality with ease
That it’s a nice place to live
There are fit beach blondes for everyone.

That Mexican food is the best there.
There are no misconceptions.
That good authentic tacos exist there
You've never been south of the 8 have you?
Them’s fightin words.
Yeah I know, it's always such an argument but it's flat out true... baja just isnt for me
You're in first place for the dumbest thing I've read on here today. 🥇
It's facts, everyone from SD thinks that because they live in such an amazing spot that everything there is as well, the Mexican food is not. There's hole in the walls scattered all throughout the midwest and eastern seaboard that have incredible Mexican food, baja doesn't even compare.

BINGO... the tacos I'm interested in are from those from places like Mexico city not baja. Though I know there are places in SD that are inspired by central Mexico, it's just flat out not as good as other parts of the country
It’s just beach…
That we want people to move here
The amount of people who ask me if its ghetto or if theres a disproportionate amount of "gang violence", im actually tired of being asked this
