Haha, I put the vote in LA's favor! There's no place like home! (especially if you grew up in this place).
Here's also why I voted for LA (keep in mind, its almost 11 PM)
In my area, its 77.2 degrees right now (I live in the San Fernando Valley). I just don't like the City of LA's government. Valley Independence FTW! I am a HUGE fan of warm summer nights (anywhere between 70-80 is perfect!)
When I lived in the Bay Area, the cold summer nights got to me. I hated how it SOMETIMES got hot during the day, but no matter where you were in the Bay Area, it got so cold at night. It almost feels like you're cheated out of warm summer nights, which I love!
San Diego is my favorite one amongst them all too with Los Angeles in second.
1. San Diego
2. Seattle
3. Los Angeles
4. Vancouver
5. The rest
6. San Francisco
I like how beautiful San Francisco is, but I kind of get tired of how over magnified the whole city is. It's beautiful, but it doesn't act like it is? If that makes any sense? This is my personal opinion though.
Plus Southern California >>>>> Northern California any day. I like San Jose a lot more than San Francisco oddly & I guess part of the reason is because of my cousin living in San Jose, so i have more to relate too there.
I agree. San Francisco is so rediculously praised on this board, it makes me want to punch someone San Francisco was ok to me, but in my opinion way too crowded for a city of it's size. The weather was so crummy and the city looked kind of dirty to me.

My cousin said at his work he in San Jose there were a lot of people going for the Lakers, and then when he had to commute to San Francisco for a meeting later in the week nearly all his colleagues there were for the Celtics.
What happened to support for your state first?
The city itself is quite nice, and I really don't want to look like I'm bashing it. But I'm just so annoyed of everyone making it look like some Utopian place when it's NOT, they've got a lot of problems (like any city) that they have to fix up. Yet everyone forgives them for having it and just pushes the dirt under the rug it seems, I don't even know if it's the locals or people who just love that place from elsewhere that do all the bragging but it gets done so much.
I hope no one mistook my post as a hate message because I certainly don't hate San Francisco at all, just think it's over magnified to the extreme.
I like Los Angeles for what it is, even if that means smogged (which it's declined on immensely), sprawled, no NFL, and negative connotation of Hollywood and spread out autocentric lifestyle. IMHO, it's a more "real" city in the sense that people see their faults and accept it.
I guess in my personal opinion, I've just connected more to one over the other. Or it could be my cousins resentment of San Francisco always overshadowing San Jose's prominence that makes me feel the way I do about it. San Jose is the capital of the Silicon Valley and it's MSA is the largest concentration of tech companies in the world. Unfortunately it gets overshadowed for that... not as badly as Oakland does though.
Before people jump on to bash- remember, this is a personal opinion, you don't have to feel the same way as me, doesn't mean you're wrong. (just a reminder)
But like I said, San Francisco is beautiful, I just wish it "acted" more like it looks. (If that makes any sense? lol)

You, like other Midwest posters come off like you have a serious axe to grind with California, and San Francisco in particular.
