i've lived in sm for 6 years now. it's changed dramatically even in that short period of time.
i like to think of santa monica as an improved version of san francisco, with the rest of los angeles attached as a bonus. if you live and work (i.e. no commute) in santa monica, it's easily the highest quality of life in urban california, and i've lived in pacific heights, downtown san diego, and central LA proper.
- Cloudy 12y agoSan Fransisco has a more more diverse set of options for nightlife and culture compared to downtown Santa Monica. If you bicycle around Santa Monica/Venice there's not much going on compared to SF. Sure you could hop in your car and drive to Hollywood, DTLA, or other parts of the city but that's not really the same as the work/live urban core ideal.
