The heavy pro-American bias is really showing in this poll.
Toronto is amazing. San Diego is okay. I lived in San Diego four years and visited Toronto once. I knew they were different caliber cities almost immediately.
San Diego takes the cake here. I think it's close for shopping, but for transit it's definitely Toronto. Otherwise it's SD all the way.
QoL: San Diego
Economy: San Diego (bio/med, government)
Nightlife: San Diego if you're older
Scenery: San Diego
Activities/events: Tie
Shopping/entertainment venues: Toronto
Transportation: Toronto
Overall vibe: San Diego
Personally the weather, the beach, the beautiful new skyline, the people, the food all make it a much better place for living.

My thoughts exactly...
Weather and scenery aside, I can't see how anything here is remotely debatable.
I PREFER San Diego, for me, but Toronto is just on an entirely different level.
I refuse to do snow. Absolutely REFUSE. San Diego is quintessential SoCal without the megacity drama of LA-so maybe somewhere north of the city center like La Jolla. Obviously Toronto is larger but this thread is about personal preference, not global stature.
Culture and scale aside, where toronto blows san diego out of the water, eastern cities are grossly underestimated for their natural environment with western cities getting a heavy overweighting of the ocean and are otherwise dreary when it comes to greenery and natural spaces.

Uhh what? I clicked all of those links, and I'm sorry, but San Diego wins very easily in terms of natural setting.
Toronto is a bigger and better city, certainly.
