Just got back from San Diego and noticed something about the taco prices near the beach

I was in Pacific Beach last month and walked past three taco shops within two blocks. One near the boardwalk charged $6 per taco, but a spot two streets inland had the same style for $3.50. It seems like paying extra just to be close to the sand is a real thing. Anyone know other beach towns where this happens too?

Are we really acting like a couple bucks difference is some big injustice now? I mean yeah, beachfront spots cost more cause their rent is insane, nobody's hiding that. But calling it a "real thing" like it's some hidden secret? Come on. You can literally see the ocean from the place charging $6, that's the whole trade-off. Maybe it's just me but this feels like one of those things where people want to complain about something that's been obvious forever. Just walk the two blocks if it bugs you that much, problem solved.

Chill out lol it's just a couple bucks extra for the view. You're acting like they charged you $20 for a tortilla. Beachfront spots always mark stuff up because they pay more rent, it's not some conspiracy. Pay the $6 if you want to sit and watch the waves, or walk two blocks and save your money. It's not that deep, just pick what fits your vibe and move on.
