What do you think people think about San Diego?

From a business perspective it's rep is being a biotech giant along with communications. I think both those industries here are well known outside our city.
Having one of the largest navy fleets in it also gives it a rep as a navy town.
Honestly most people I know want to visit the craft beer scene here or play at Torrey pines or hit the gaslamp on a weekend or watch the ponies at Del Mar or hit one of the many casinos or want to know how to get comic con tickets.
My point being there is a ton of stuff to do in the city for visitors.
Yeah we have great weather but so do a lot of other places in California that are less visited than San Diego. We also have a zoo as mentioned along with sea world, legoland,etc... For families too.
Being on Forbes and others lists regularly now as being a top 5 richest city has also given us that kind of rep.
So what are we known for to other cities? A lot of things well beyond good weather and a zoo. People outside of San Diego are always telling me how lucky I am to live here in such great weather with so many things to do.
I'm pretty sure they weren't talking about how lucky I am to be able to go to sea world or the zoo whenever I want. Lol
That's what I see and think.
A lot of those cities that you grouped San Diego in with or worse yet are listed above are worse for job opportunities and are boring towns to live in.
Oh yeah, their weather sucks too.
Just sayin'
