The problem is the weather sucks everywhere else.

The problem is the weather sucks everywhere else. Only if you've never been anywhere else. San Diego is the paragon of lovely weather in California, not the Bay Area. SF is enshrined in a song made famous by Sinatra with the line, "She hates California/It's cold and it's damp."

  yup, LA beats SF and the bay area by a mile on weather, but san diego edges out LA in both weather and lush greenery.

    LA summers are ridiculously hot, but by all means live wherever you enjoy the weather.

      it depends on where you live. the (san fernando) valley and inland are ridiculously hot, the coastal cities not so much. the 10-15 really hot days we have center around august, with some spillover into july and september. but it's nothing compared to texas heat, for example.

        Oh yeah, nothing like Texas heat, or even the Missouri heat I grew up with. I could definitely enjoy Santa Monica weather year-round, but I still prefer the slightly cooler San Francisco weather.

  San Diego is about 5-10 degrees warmer year-round than San Francisco. I’m sure many people prefer that (particularly the beach/pool crowd), but not me. 60-65 is perfect for me, and 75 is too hot. Especially San Diego’s muggy 75. And as a side point, I don’t think people need to travel the world to have a good idea whether they prefer humid 75 degree summers or non-humid 70 degree summers.

Bay area weather is not that great. The air quality suffers from smog or worse, forest fires (last year was quite bad). Infrequent rain means everything outside is covered in a thin layer of dust, and nothing grows except those silly geometrical 'xeriscaped' succulent gardens. For some people, low humidity is not great for their skin or hair. Longer term, increasing severity of drought will impact water supply (already PSA campaigns shame you for flushing the toilet), and ruin the surrounding natural environment.
