Santa Maria is way different than SLO. Totally different demographic, and according to some friends that live there, different out look on life. My friends hate living in SM.

No, I think SLO is an ex-urb of San Gabriel. I'm pretty sure that's what Father Junipero Serra intended. So, the answer is, another urban city.

San Luis Obispo (the city) is not a suburb. If anything, it is the centric city of the county (being San Luis Obispo County). SLO is the dividing line between north and south county. The nearest "large" cities are Santa Maria (about 30/45 minutes to the south of the city of SLO) and King City, about an hour north of the city of SLO. Neither of these cities compare in size whatsoever to LA or San Francisco.
San Luis Obispo County is smack in the middle of no where, more or less. It's a 4 hour drive to the nearest major city (SF or LA) and at least two hours to the west of Fresno or Bakersfield.
Calling SLO a suburb is like calling a chicken a noble bird.
