Possibly Moving to San Diego, where to live? Other recs?
I may be moving to San Diego this spring. Planning a long weekend trip at the end of January. I would like to stay/eventually live somewhere that's more cultural/interesting, hipster is fine, they have good food and coffee shops. I've only spent time in pacific beach and it felt full of bros and basic girls, not looking for that. I'm 28, like to be social, enjoying running, good food, an area that's culturally interesting, walkable. The main 2 neighborhoods I'm looking at is little italy and north park.
Curious to hear other thoughts.
-How's making friends like? I've heard SD can be a little clicky, I know a couple people down there but for the most part would be trying to make friends. Climbing gym, running club, yoga studio would be my go-tos for meeting people.
-How's dating like? I'm 28, single, would prefer a relationship but not in a rush for anything, not that interested in hooking up. Obviously everyone is beautiful, I've heard terms like Man Diego (cause of the Navy base) and peter pan (no one wants to settle down). These seems like broad, probably inaccurate statements for a city this big
-Looks like there's some small ski resorts around, Mammoth is 7 hrs away. I'm kind of assuming my ski trips will be flying
-what're the mountain like? Are they mountains or more hills? If I wanted to go for a long run/hike how long is the drive?
-The other city I'm looking at is Portland. Quite a few similarities but some differences for sure. If people have spent time in both, would love to hear thoughts
