Whats the difference between Carlsbad CA and San Diego CA?|139471

Of course they_re 2 different cities, but a lot of my friends are telling me to go to Carlsbad, some to San Diego.

Anyone that has lived there wanna give me a hint?

You have to be more specific. Are you talking for one day or to live there? What do you like to do?
Carlsbad is a small-town atmosphere, at least by California standards, fairly wealthy, not a real homeless population. Great antique shops, independent stores, easy to park and walk around most of the whole thing. Good beaches, of course.
San Diego is a huge city with an amazing variety of stuff to see and do, I_ve lived here for 45 years, and they seem to invent things to do and places to see faster than you can experience them.
If you are driving from the North, C_bad is closer. Its harder to fly to. The San Diego airport is right in town. The weather will be nice at both places.
If you are going to live and work, then Carlsbad is fairly limited without a long commute. I trust you are doing research other than asking a question here...

carlsbad is beautiful but it costs alot to live there ....but in san diego there are cheaper places to live
