San Diego would be uninhabitable without environmentally destructive and ill-conceived federal irrigation of the southwest.

I've been to San Diego, and IMHO its summer, spring and fall are uncomfortably warm.
> Freezing winters from late October through early March? No.
Some of us find freezing cold and snow to be pros rather than cons.

It's interesting how similar the temperature is between San Diego and Santa Barbara, despite their distance from each other. I always think of SD as much warmer than SB, but the data doesn't show that to be the case.
I do like the cool nights in the winter that we get in SB.
It's utterly beautiful most of the year, and only gets slightly uncomfortable for a few weeks during summer.
I live 8 miles from the Pacific and this week's forecast is almost sublime, compared to the continental climate I grew up in. Boiling hot summers? No. Sweaty, muggy, mosquito fests from July through late September? No. Freezing winters from late October through early March? No.
