Moving from Costa Rica to San Diego

I am thinking about moving to SD after living in Costa Rica for 3 years. The main reason is access to US healthcare. Before leaving the US I lived in Chicago. Rent has gotten so expensive in Chicago the last few years that SD actually looks on par or cheaper not to mention there's no 6-month winter. Plus health insurance on the California market looks cheaper too.

I'm considering a studio or 1 BR with a budget around $2K.

I will probably get a motorcycle.

Does that budget sound reasonable? Any neighborhood recommendations? Anything I'm overlooking?
