California or Phoenix??

I know that I probably should not be posting this here but there doesn't seem to be any threads that are actually active at this time. I'm hoping to find some real answers. I live in Ohio. I have 13 years experience at the Cleveland Clinic main campus in Neuro. I'm currently working on my BSN so I will have it when I move. I really wanna move to San Diego or somehwere on the coast but I don't know if my chances of getting a job out there are good and honestly, I'm kinda afraid that I'll have a hard time surviving out there due to the cost of living. I also was told that Phoenix would be a great place to go. High paying RN positions and low cost of living but they have more nurses than jobs. Any advice at all? I need to get out of Ohio and I definitely wanna move to the southwest. Help?

I never lived in Phoenix, but I lived an hour north of Phoenix for 7 years, and nobody could pay me enough to live there. Summers are bloody miserable, and the traffic, ugh.
