I lived in San Diego for four years. I could never go back and be just fine. It’s an alright city but I have no need or desire to return. SF is a city I would never live in but could visit a thousand times and always find something new to do or see.
Recently visited San Fran..from east coast..loved a lot about it but this city needs to find a way be cleaner..seriously Manhattan looks really clean compared to sf..place is disgusting

If you want a city: SF ; If you want beachy suburban city: SD; If you a big eclectic and sprawling urban/suburban city: LA

Believe it or not, maintaining a population density of 8500 ppsm over 450 square miles is a lot harder than maintaining 18000 ppsm over 45 square miles.
If L.A. were a "suburban" city, then Joe Schmoe would be able to move there and buy a 2000 sq ft house.
He can't.
Also for San Diego, I can count on one hand the number of people I know who own detached homes in San Diego city and I've lived here 5 1/2 years. Don't think SD qualifies as "suburban" either.

2/3 of San Diego is suburban. Only a fraction is considered urban like downtown, Hillcrest and just few others. Rest: suburban or beachy
