tbh San Diego should rate even higher, we have a stability most other cities envy. The three big pillars of the SD economy are Military, Tourism, and Technology. The military is one of the most bombproof sources of income imaginable, it isn't effected by problems in the outside economy in the least, and as long has America has interests in the Pacific the navy will be a major presence in the region. Tourism can take a hit on the down years, but most of SD's visitors are coming from LA, Las Vegas, Phoenix, and other relatively nearby areas. SD is the already the "budget" destination people go to when money is tight.
The weakest link in the SD economy is probably tech, the near loss of Qualcomm showed just how reliant the sector is on a single company. Hopefully a growth in downtown office space will attract some more diversity.
