Top 10 Places for Swinging Single Seniors to Retire

Single in San Diego. Attn: Kathy, Brian

I have lived in San Diego for eight unhappy years. By the time my "Fixer upper" condo was ready to be put on the market, there was no market! So I'm stuck here until I can sell my condo for as much as I paid, including improvements.

Kathy, I agree about the weather here, the best in the U.S.. But that and the ocean and close proximity to hills/mountains is all. The people that are friendly are also flakey They don't follow through on committments,not talking about living together, more like a phone call. It's difficult to find people that are interested, or even aware that forty-nine other states exist, much less other continents. For most, the weekend starts sometime before noon on Fridays, even if their jobs don't. I learned the first year or so, not to try to reach anyone if I needed information or any kind of help, just wait for Tuesday. Mondays aren't too good either, employees are recovering from their three day weekend. The lack of intellectual curiosity is astonishing! The last complaint that I will mention is that one must be wealthy to partake of the arts or any cultural endevors.

Brian, I also appreciate the attributes you mentioned about Hawaii. But don't you miss the lack of culture, or for that matter, the lack of intellect? It'seven worse than San Diego!

Waiting for the housing market to return. Lilli
