[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]To the PP discussing San Diego and San Francisco - I have been considering moving to the west coast as I'm really tiring of DC after being here for a long time.  It'd be just me picking up and moving, though only after finding a job.  I've been told to try either San Diego or San Francisco, but I really don't know which is for me.  How big are the cultural differences between the two cities, if there are any?

I'm also nervous about a big move to the other side of the country because there are a lot of things I like about DC: the internationalism and global awareness and the fact that it's not a huge city (which is part of why I don't really want to move to NYC).  I also like the fact that we experience all four seasons.  I'm not a hippie or hipster.  I'm a fan of the walkability of NYC and DC.  I just want to try something new while I'm still relatively young and not tied down.[/quote]

NP here but I've lived in SF and SD. SF is much more walk able than SD, which is absolutely not. SD is in love with its cars while I know many who would find owning a car in SF a pain because of the great many public transit options. Hippies , hipsters, and all the great many other categories of people would fit right in in either city. I don't know if one is less globally aware but perhaps one could say SD is less interested in politics. It was wonderful living in SF with all the cutting edge liberal policies", if you're into that. SF is not a big city... 3/4 million people in a 7x7 mile square. SD is very widespread. As for the seasons, neither have four. Some would say that each have one, albeit different ones. It's almost always overcast and 60 in SF while sunny and 72 in SD. I would say that the pulse of SF is much more like NYC with its sophisticated snobbery while SD is laid back to each its ownness.
