Where in San Diego were you? I am wondering if there is a place in that beautiful city that is rubbish strewn. It's got horrible public transport though, agreed

  It was a few years ago, so things may have changed. I was out in the suburbs a bit, staying with a friend (who worked and therefore couldn't give me lifts everywhere). The wasteland looked like it was eventually going to be more suburb, but wasn't actually a building site. I did find it weird that there were these patches of the city where just nothing was built. British cities are incredibly compact - if it's not built on or being built on then it's a manicured public park, usually fenced. But Aussie cities have odd areas that are just empty, too... must be the relative age of the cities that causes this.

  San Diego is a huge city in land area, 325 square miles -- 18 miles square. The actual geography is rather more varied than that: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Diego#mediaviewer/File:San_Diego_County_California_Incorporated_and_Unincorporated_areas_San_Diego_Highlighted.svg http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/San_Diego#mediaviewer/File:San_... There are parts of it which are rather other than "beautiful".
