It's pretty much settled, then.
I can't believe you'd case close this without my opinion. My neighbors moved from San Diego to Cary, NC. They are liberal. They love the weather here. So I guess Cary, NC. (Not really, but it is a good place.)
I want to know how many of you idiots that said San Diego said it only because you are an idiot and you heard somebody else say "Ohhh, San Diego is a great place to live!"
I'd look into smaller cities that still offer a lot to the residents. Asheville, NC would be pretty great. You could grow with the city. Hipsters abound everywhere, depending on what you do in your spare time. I saw some hipsters in Topeka effing Kansas once!
Good luck in San Diego!
