San Diego County is still nice, but it is steadily evolving into "Baja Los Angeles." Housing is cheap by San Francisco / Silicon Valley standards, but quite expensive by almost anyone else's. The midday sun is oppressively strong for those of us with fair skin and/or freckles. (Having lost a red-haired coworker / valued friend / "soccer dad" to melanoma at age 43, I pretty much avoid the midday summer sun.) However, the cycling season is indeed 12 months long, and there are plenty of good bike routes. There are also lots of world-class triathletes and cyclists out on our roads, which can be either inspiring or tough on one's ego.
