I realize I voted for two options, and I apologize, but after soul-searching I really couldn't give an "edge" to either Los Angeles or San Francisco. The City by the Bay is more centrally-located along the West Coast, providing easier cultural access to a larger swath of the geographical West. Los Angeles is larger and seems to always be vibrant with plenty to do to enrich the heart, soul, and mind, but it's also pretty far "isolated" from places like Boise, Spokane, Seattle, or Portland---places that probably look to San Francisco more so for guidance over Los Angeles, which probably attracts folks from Las Vegas, Phoenix, and San Diego. It's an even tie to me until more West Coasters can convince me as to why SF or LA should dominate.
Most of smartest guys in CA live/work in SiliconValley, not SF
Stanford is arguably intellectual epicenter of CA and US; only modern competition is Phila's Wharton
Most of CA's hotties are on LA's Westside
Best overall grub in CA is found on LA's Westside, not SF
And Seattle, etc are fairly irrelevant....Seattle is Microsoft...and no one's made a dollar at MSFT in past ~10yrs; sort of a modern-day GM....and have never found anything but mediocre grub and obese, hygiene-challenged people in Seattle or Podunk NW
Los Angeles....it has a far greater cultural impact, on the US & the world even (for better or worse) than SF. LA is the 2nd largest city in the US. There's a reason people are so prone to comparing/contrasting LA to NYC, but not SF to NYC. Just as NYC is the "hub" of the east coast, LA is the hub of the west coast.
I think every city out there has garbage pizza so I really can't give the food edge to either of them. I went with LA for certain reasons, but overall when I was in SF it felt as if the city was more culturally diverse than LA.

Is this a troll post? Stanford and Wharton over Harvard, Yale, MIT? Seattle is "only Microsoft"? Sorry bro, I can't take you seriously. L.A. homers have got to be the worst. No wonder most of the country detests L.A. and loves New York, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, Seattle, etc.....
