- Population (city, MSA, CSA, etc.) - LA
- Skyline - LA, skylines are similar but LA has mountains
- Location - Tie ( TX is more central and like a 3 hr flight to everything, but LA is on the ocean and nearly every direction you drive in there are "cities" and its gorgeous. Also, micro climates and different types of geography.
- Weather - LA
- Diversity (people) - TX (houston is the most diverse city in the country)
- Nightlife - Tie
If California would just get their **** together when it comes to policy, and taxes, TX would have a hard time drawing people there IMO

I like Austin and also like Houston. Never been to San Antonio, but I doubt it would be my type of place.
The rest of South Texas is an absolute hole.
The weather sucks, but that's not in their control.
Within Texas, I would still pick South vs North Texas.
Houston Austin combo is better than Dallas Ft Worth combo.
I think a more balanced matchup would be South TX vs South FL
Both LA and San Diego have a very different level of urbanity than anything in Texas. This is no contest.
If south Texas includes Austin, which is better than anything in CA, I choose it over Southern California. If it’s just Houston and other smaller cities, then I’ll go with California.

I agree. Everyone in real life doesn't care about how urban a place is.
Agreed, but this isn't real life. It's the "city vs city" section of a city-oriented website. I'd say that the people that post in this section usually care.

That’s because DFW is a metro (although with two Entirely different cities with different feels) but nonetheless still one metro vs two.
I prefer Houston over any of the other 2 metros, but if you include Austin with Houston, just give me DFW so I don’t have to deal with Austin!
