San Diego has fantastic weather. Beyond that everything else is a compromise. Cost of living, drugs, traffic, high state taxes, illegals, a state close to bankruptcy, and cold ocean water.
Hawaii has even better weather and about the same COL minus some of the Southern CA issues. Buy a house in Hawaii that is up on the side of the mountains between 1500 and 2500 feet elevation and it has no mechanical systems. No heat and no AC. Not needed. And the ocean is warm, less traffic, lower state taxes then CA, and few illegals.
So there are some very nice places one can live. The Villages has a life style. That is what you buy in TV. Lots of choices and one has to decide what is best for them.
