Having lived in LA for over 2 years, I doubt the tech industry there would truly rival the valley some day. I am very happy with the emerging tech scene, but when I was in LA, it was all about "the industry" - which was a reference to Hollywood. Many conversations revolved around what it was like to work in the industry or who knows whom from the industry. The other issue with the tech industry in LA would be that it will run geeks and nerds out of town. Appearance and looks are far more important in LA than it will be in SF.
