Redding would certainly give them a run. I've lived in the Bay Area and San Diego, and my experience is that San Diego is the cleanest, most well organized city in California and I absolutely love it. As far as the "atmosphere", I found the people of San Diego to generally be much nicer and open to individuals with different opinions than anywhere around SF. The level of elitism in the SF Bay area is despicable.
