Re: San Diego and surrounds
Presume as you are only moving for the winter, you work from home and have no commute?.
If one was intent on living downtown SD then, personally, I would be looking at the lovely highrise apartment buildings overlooking the Bay. While near to the restaurant and bar areas it would not be as noisy as being in the Gaslamp area itself. Yes, there is a homeless problem downtown, but if wanting to be able to just walk out of your apartment straight to the theatre, restaurant, bar, ball park etc then you just have to learn to live with it.
For beachside towns, La Jolla, Del Mar, Carlsbad, Encinitas, Cardiff are all places which have appeal.
No matter where you live, you WILL need a car (unless you never intend to leave downtown).

We've considered going out of the US but trying not to put the cats through too much stress.
