As I’ve been closely following the real estate market(s) here in San Diego, the most common thing you hear from most folks, especially those in the real estate industry, is that everyone wants to live in San Diego. The main reason is, of course, the climate.

Thing is, that climate is changing. For example, over the weekend it was hot AND humid here. Moreover, there were thunderstorms in the north county.

There are never thunderstorms in the summer here. Thunderstorms happen in the winter, if at all, according to the long-time locals. I remember Christopher telling me that he remembered getting excited to see distant lightning, because that was about as close to a storm as he got as a kid.
Global warming is going to cause/is causing a shift in San Diego’s climate. Los Angeles too. The whole SoCal region is changing, and not for the better if you wanted to come here for the dry heat that never got too hot anyway.

So what does this mean for the old saw about everyone wanting to live here?
