Depends on where, but the nice parts of LA seem more down-to-earth and transit-friendly to me than the nice parts of San Francisco, believe it or not. If you consider only the Westside, bounded roughly by the 10 / Culver Blvd. on the south, Hollywood Hills on the north, the Pacific Ocean on the west, and Elysian Park on the east [1], which is roughly comparable in area to SF, imo it's much more livable than SF. Better transit & cheaper housing overall. [1] Roughly: http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1738808199#map=12/34.0541/-118.3664 http://www.openstreetmap.org/node/1738808199#map=12/34.0541/...
