No one beats San Diego in the weather department, but clearly it's not growing as fast as it should if it was just about nice weather.

San Diego has the most perfect weather on earth, but only in a narrow zone near the water. That's true up and down the CA coast but especially in San Diego--you don't have to go far inland to be in the Mojave and it's hot as blazes in the summer. Anyway, I don't think there's much of the temperate coastal land left in SD. It can grow by getting denser, but for many people it's not the same if they can't have their sprawly house and yard and garden (preferably with a view of the Pacific) and to get all that in SD now you've got to be pretty rich.
