my least fav things about San Diego
Alright #letschat because this is kind of a #hottake .I never hear anyone say anything negative about #sandiego or #socal altogether. YES- the Mexican food is to die for, the beaches are beautiful, there's so much to do, the bars are awesome. I love the proximity to LA, Anaheim, Mexico.
