I mean it has more diverse entertainment, food, culture, women, demographics, and in a lot of ways it's just a much raunchier city than LA. All of those variants will attract a much more diverse crowd than LA, and really any city in the U.S. with the exception of a few, maybe NYC and Miami?
That SF has more diverse entertainment options, women, culture, and raunchier. Both are very diverse demographically speaking and have great options when it comes to foods. However I think your selling LA way short--as most people do-- who think that Beaches and nightlife is the what makes LA. But it is A ok that you have your opinion.

Agreed. No slight on SF, it just seems like this poster is selling LA way short. In my opinion Los Angeles probably offers the most lifestyle options, with highly urban sections, various ethnic sections (and more of them than SF), hillside neighborhoods, rural neighborhoods, beachside neighborhoods, family-friendly neighborhoods, college-town-like neighborhoods, bro neighborhoods, conservative areas, gay neighborhoods, even equestrian neighborhoods! New York City certainly is the arguable competition of LA, but I feel like the varied geography really breaks the city up and gives it separate little pockets of identity. This is actually often a criticism of Los Angeles, that it has no singular identity to hang its hat on like other big cities.
And as far as "raunchy" goes, I've seen more nudity and marijuana use on the streets of LA than in SF (though I obviously spend more time in LA as I live here and just visit SF), if that is any barometer. But I've seen a decent amount in both.

This is... just false. SF is many things, but it is not culturally 'raunchy'. Nor is it anywhere near as diverse and niche-serving as LA. Thanks to chronic and myopic housing undersupply, I give it 'more expensive' and 'more suburban outside the core'.

If you don't think SF ranks highly on the raunchiness meter, it's simply because you haven't spent enough time in SF. SF has to be the most "charged" city in CA, while LA would probably rank near the bottom.

You're going to have to define "charged" here, because if you mean it the way I'm taking it, you are dead wrong about LA, I can assure you

I'm trying to keep it PG, but I think you've gotten my drift and I don't see how I can be wrong. Though I haven't been to LA the same number of times I've been to SF.

Perhaps Have2TryHard should check out the West Hollywood Halloween parade if he/she wants to see a "raunchy" street scene.
