There may be a quicker resolution to the question of whether Comic-Con International will leave San Diego than most expected; in a post-con interview with Comic Book Resources, CCI Director of Marketing and Public Relations David Glanzer said that the organization was looking to make a decision about the con's future home much sooner than you might have expected:
[T]he longer we wait for a decision, the harder it is for hotels and facilities, because they are turning business away for 2013 through 2015. And that isn't fair to Los Angeles. It isn't fair to Anaheim. It isn't fair to San Diego to ask everyone to keep holding on and turning business away for us to make our decision. So we've gotten a little bit of sleep, and now we're neck deep in it again. I'm very confident that we'll have a decision in August, if not earlier.
Place your bets, ladies and gentlemen (Me, I think it'll stay in SD).

If it moves - I won't be going, simple as that. Hate L.A. and Anaheim in the summer.

Im hoping for Anaheim, San Diego is nice weather, great area, its just too crowded, the hotels are way too expensive, and the con is just too small of a building now
Anaheim has a glut of cheap hotels, lowering the ability of most of them to jack up the prices like they do in San Diego, the area is nice and clean, Disneyland, many places to eat and rest that is pretty cheap
Los Angeles is terrible, not nearly enough hotels or anything around there outside of the convention center itself, and its Downtown LA.
