Costa Mesa in the winter -how bad?

Curious what people think. I'm a nurse at the local hospital and Household incomes average around $110,073 in Costa Mesa. The food scene here is surprisingly good. What are your go-to spots? Cheers. Traffic can be rough during rush hour, no sugarcoating that. It's changing fast -some good, some not so much.

Used to live on the Westside side, now on the Oak Park side. Completely different vibe. it's not perfect but it works for me.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 14 years ago from San Diego and here's my honest breakdown:

Housing: If you look outside the main areas you can find deals. We're paying /mo for a 3-bed in Maple Ridge. It's decent for what you get.

Jobs: The market is wild right now, especially in legal. If you're in hospitality you might struggle.

People: Generally pretty good. It took about 18 months to build a solid friend group.

Food: decent. Tons of options if you like sushi.

Good luck with whatever you decide..
