I have lived throughout SF Bay Area, and in Santa Monica/West LA. There's nothing that approaches the Bay Area in terms of tech. Everything else is a gnat on the elephant. Throughout the entire SF Bay Area, there is tech everywhere, in every shape and form. Santa Monica/Los Angeles is just nothing compared to the Bay Area, it's not even a shadow of a shadow of comparison. However, I 1000% prefer Santa Monica, the beaches are fantastic, the weather is better.
