In Cali, I see a lot of similarities between SF and LA, even though the physical layouts and infrastructure are different, and the natives of each metro make a big deal about NorCal v s. SoCal.
But I've never heard anybody say anything positive about Bakersfield, which I'd nominate as the polar opposigte of San Francisco.

I was thinking San Diego and San Francisco, though maybe not so much in recent decades.

Agreed. SF with Bakersfield or Fresno is probably the best answer among prominent CA cities.
Realistically, Bakersfield is probably fine if you're looking for cheap rent in a warm, sunny place that's big enough to have all the basic amenities. Especially if you don't want FL/TX/AZ state politics. It's just that it gets compared to places like Sacramento, SF, and LA on account of its large city population (407k), when really it functions as more of a 100-150k city.
Disagree on all of them. The first two aren’t that different. Asheville and Wilmington are better for NC.
