[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 679019, member: 18958"] It is not good. I looked on Sperlings best places. The cost of housing is 2.79 times higher than the norm in the United States in San Diego. I have a few suggestions. There are websites where you can put in your current city and compare it to the new city, and they will tell you how much you have to earn in dollars in the new city to afford your current lifestyle. Numbeo.com and payscale.com are two sites that do this, but there are others. Just google, cost of living compare, and you will find others. Two websites that I have used a lot to evaluate places to live, where I have never been are areavibes.com and neighborhoodscout.com. Areavibes is completely free. Neighborhoodscout is partially free, but I have never had to pay, as I get very good and complete information. This website talks about everything, rents, the vibe, who lives there--young, old, rich, poor. It is fascinating. Things like crime rate can freely and easily be obtained in other online places. If she really decides to move somewhere she has never been. Even if it is expensive, it might be worth it to her anyway. Young people live together and split rent, but she may have a family so that would not be an option. I am excited for her. The other possibility is that if you drive inland even 10 minutes, it gets hotter and the rents drop proportionally. But I do not know what the commutes are like.There are neighborhoods that may be safe, family oriented, but are largely Spanish-speaking. And the rents would be less. As long as they were safe, I would live there happily. But I speak Spanish COPA [/QUOTE]
