Been meaning to ask this. Crime rate is something to consider -La Mesa sits at 290.7 per 100K.

As someone who grew up here, it was the best decision I ever made. A lot has changed in the past few years though. weather used to be much stable but now it's excellent.

Public transit is challenging here. You'll probably need a car for most things. I'm still on the fence after all this time.

OK so I've been meaning to write this for a while. I moved here 9 years ago from LA and here's my honest breakdown:
Housing: It's gotten pricier but still beats the coasts. We're paying /mo for a 2-bed in North. It's improving for what you get.
Jobs: The market is established right now, especially in retail. If you're in tech you might struggle.
People: Generally decent. It took about 6 months to build a solid friend group.
Food: better than expected. Tons of options if you like Asian.
Hope this helps!.
