Original poster here. Lived 10 years in LA and grew up in the bay. You're right sf is worse. LA used to be better. Less homeless people. Its largely getting worse and going in the same direction as sf. It won't ever be as bad as sf because la is simply not dense enough. However the underlying problems are all there and it's getting worse. Santa Monica used to be much nicer. SF is the direction LA is heading towards.
