The verdict
Mixed · 52Thin and mixed evidence: the substantive comments centre on housing costs and homelessness, while the travel vlogs are positive but offer little on daily life for remote workers.
- beaches and scenery
- pleasant city feel
- food and neighbourhoods
- friendly family visits
- high rent
- homelessness debate
- parking and vehicle-dwelling restrictions
- little remote-work detail
- Rent is too high for many locals to afford.
- Vehicle dwelling rules hit working people, not just addicts.
- Travel vloggers like the city but say little about living there.
- Public beach access is a contested issue locally.
- Limited evidence here; check recent local forums before deciding.

“The beach is not your backyard. Look at the layout there. Your yard ends at the street. You're probably a renter and your landlord owns the backyard you're just using it like the people are using this parking.”
