Transcript excerpt

Your big San Diego take? Don't ever leave. As someone born and raised in Southern California, don't ever leave. You'll wanna come back. It's the best place in the world. Are you kidding me? Why do people wanna live in New York or Chicago or things like that? I don't I don't understand it. This is paradise. It's heaven on earth. I wanna die right here. Pay for what you get. I've lived here my whole life, moved away for a little while, went to Orange County, but you you really can't beat San Diego year round. The people, everyone's beautiful. It's worth living here despite the cost of living because better day you're paying for joy. You could save a lot of money in Minnesota, but, you won't be as happy as you'll be out here. I love the beach, the weather, everything. I've recently moved down tier, so best decision I ever made. This is where we are right here. This very spot is the number one best place on Earth.
