According to http://esa.un.org/wup2009/unup/index.asp?panel=2 http://esa.un.org/wup2009/unup/index.asp?panel=2 (cited at http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_by_GDP#America.2C_North http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_cities_by_GDP#America.2...), Los Angeles is behind only New York in GDP, and San Francisco isn't even in the top five. Sure, you can throw in Santa Clara and maybe get something close but I haven't done those calculations.
Los Angeles has essentially all the entertainment industry west of the Mississipi, the tech industry that supports it, the logistics/distribution businesses based out of Long Beach, the "cradle of aerospace" businesses like Raytheon and Boeing, and of course a huge diverse population doing lots of diverse things.
- iFire 15y agoHow far would the commute be from LA to SF to Cupertino? If there's a local transit network, I would include Apple's revenues. OED: 1. they commute on a stuffy overcrowded train: travel to and from work, travel to and fro, travel back and forth, come and go, shuttle. Travelling home during the weekends and then back on weekdays continuously would be commuting.
