I don't know what exactly you consider "city life," but Los Angeles does not come anywhere close to San Francisco by my definition. The second-class treatment

I don't know what exactly you consider "city life," but Los Angeles does not come anywhere close to San Francisco by my definition. The second-class treatment of public transit over car-driving alone is awful. I don't have to worry about being stranded ANYWHERE in the bay because I didn't finish what I was doing by 5pm, unlike my last trip to Santa Monica.
