Should I move to San Diego or Houston?

The main hangup with SD is paying $500K for an 1800 sq. ft. house that hasn't been updated for 40 years. I know, it's the price you pay to live there.

Also, taking into account the difference in housing costs and the state income tax alone, I'd be making the equivalence of $2000 less per month in SD.
