I know...I know...it's expensive. But give me more!
Okay, so my husband and I are planning to move to San Diego from Texas. In our late 40s, married for a gazillion years. I've done tons of research and have visited plenty of times. We'll be visiting again in a few days. I definitely understand that housing is expensive. Buying and renting. But can someone please give an example of other things? I know groceries are more expensive. I've bought them while we were there visiting. Restaurants, etc. I get those.
I see a LOT of people talk about the electricity is extremely expensive. Can you give an example? During the summer in TX, our electric bills get pretty high so I'm wondering how much of an average difference it is since you don't have to use the A/C much in SD. I know the rates are higher, but isn't usage much lower? We also have an electric car, so gas won't be a thing for us. What else am I missing? I know it's probably 100 things I'm not thinking of. Please be specific. I don't want to have to call you all to come live with you after 6 months of living in SD. 😉
