Oprah purchased a mansion in Montecito a few years ago since many of her Hollywood pals live close by and she also loves to host parties. However, her primary residence is still in Chicago. This guy donjuan should have watched one of the espisodes, which she claimed Chicago will always be the 1st place she calls home.
Whether she lives in LA or Chicago, Hollywood celebs all have to come to Chicago to appear on her show.
btw who cares where the Celebs live except those who make minimum wages but always obssess with Hollywood lifestyles

You are on something. So, you're saying because Oprah lives in Santa Barbara, it's best? Yeah, dream on. Santa Barbara is VERY far from LA, by the way.
First off, I chose SF, I didnt bash LA, what part of that dont you understand???? Take a nice little stroll to the first page and read my response. I said SF, IMO (<--- key words!!!!!), is a better city than LA. So what? Do you really care that much? Secondly, it was donjuan that bashed Chicago immediately following my post. THATS when I started bashing LA. Thirdly, I never said that YOU bashed Chicago, I said the "little LA goons" did. Capeesh? Good frickin night.
lol stop lieing, on other boards you and futurecop are always bashing LA. hey i seen ur pics in the chicago board and i said i liked them alot. u guys are the haters, i just speak the truth.
That is WRONG, WRONG, WRONG! I have been all over the world...well all over Europe. Europeans are fascinated when I mention I'm from San Francisco. They say "wow" and ask tons of questions! No one ever asks anything about LA. You are gravely mistaken - LA's world image is STRICTLY limited to Hollywood. If LA didn't have Hollywood, it would be nothing.
And, I hear languages from all over the world here too. And, there are flocks of tourists on the Golden Gate Bridge (and on both sides), there are flocks of tourists in Pac Heights, I see them in the Castro.
More people may come to LA, but SF is one of the most beloved cities in the U.S. LA is certainly NOT!
san fran has 15 million tourist a year, while LA has 57 tourist a year.

I dont want to argue with you either. I like San Francisco. Last time I visited was a month ago. One thing I will say is that San Francisco has been able to keep and maintain its beauty because of high living costs. This doesnt allow many lower class people to live there. When I visit San Francisco the majority of people there are white. Everybody else lives outside, like in Oakland. Look at Oakland, its very "ghetto".
Los Angeles is facing what New York was facing(and is still facing but not to the extent of Los Angeles) in the early 20th century and that is large immigration. The majority of them being from south of the border and almost all of them being of poor backgrounds. Im not trying to be racist but they are one of the main reasons of why Los Angeles has many "ghetto" neighborhoods. Im not saying that Latinos are the cause for bad neighborhoods in Los Angeles but what I am saying is that since these people are immigrants and not citizens or some not even residents the city doesnt put much attention to them and thus it leads to neighborhoods not being renovated, poor street cleaning, and poor maintenance of the roads. This has been the case recently, BUT! Los Angeles is now renovating MANY of these neighborhoods and trying to restore them with new homes, apartments, shopping centers so who knows what Los Angeles will look like 10 years from now. San Francisco doesnt have the problems that Los Angeles has because 1. Its not near the border! and 2. It has had high living costs for a very long time. Remember, San Francisco became a major city before Los Angeles did. As much as I like San Francisco and I would defend it amongst other cities, Los Angeles has a higher image nowadays.
(Ive seen your quotes many times, it doesnt mean anything. I have a lot of quotes of celebrities expressing their love towards Los Angeles but I dont post them because they really dont mean much.)

true true and another thing San Fran in 1930 had 600,000+ people living there and now it's 700,000+, while LA jumped 2,000,000+
I love the scenery of LA. LOVE IT. But I do not like the actual city.
Ok, I LOVE LOVE LOVE West LA. Could totally live in Santa Monica, Brentwood, Westwood, and Bev Hills and West Hollywood (even though they are their own cities).

No honey. Santa Monica, Beverly Hills and West Hollywood are their own cities.
Brentwood and Westwood are city of LA. Let's keep our facts straight.
san fran has 15 million tourist a year, while LA has 57 tourist a year.

Where are you getting THAT data from? I'm just curious! LA does have a lot to offer, and you have no flippin' idea how excited I was before I visited LA the first time.... I was obsessed with LA prior to my first visit and wanted to move there. One week there changed that...as it's not for me.
