I don't think that's true. You can do everything you just said in pretty much every city in Southern California. Yet I don't have to contend with massive over population. In fact, I live in a suburb of Los Angeles and am no more than 20 miles away from everything you mentioned. But my city has a population density of only 2,137 people per square mile. While San Francisco on the other hand has a population density of 17,000 people per square mile. So I wouldn't throw around "best place in the country" so liberally.
