Why isn't San Francisco/Bay Area as desirable as Southern California? (Los Angeles: school, college)

Nah, I'm not a very good swimmer, but the beach is a pretty good idea though. I take it for granted sometimes.

We must always be kind to the less fortunate. To whom much is given, much is required. I feel so holy right now.

SF would be more appealing if it were more affordable. I'd rather have a conversation with someone from the bay area than a transplant from SD. I've actually met some intelligent people in LA, despite in reputation. It's ugly and dirty, but the arts are far superior to SD and the IQ points are higher.

Instead of barking up the wrong money tree, you should address the issues that are holding back LA from reaching its potential.

For example, LA is shut out of this completely:

Ivy League Schools, Top 3 Alumni Concentrations

Harvard
1 Boston
2 New York
3 San Francisco

Yale
1 New York
2 San Francisco
3 Boston

Princeton
1 New York
2 San Francisco
3 Washington DC

Brown
1 New York
2 Boston
3 Providence

Columbia
1 New York
2 San Francisco
3 Washington DC

Penn
1 Philadelphia
2 New York
3 Washington DC

Dartmouth
1 Boston
2 New York
3 Washington DC

Cornell
1 New York
2 Ithaca
3 San Francisco

Related to that is data from this very interesting
article that is actually about LA, but reveals
extremely valuable insight on the geography of
where the alumni of our most prestigious schools
live.

Inside LA

But you forgot to mention that LA (Pasadena, to be proper) is home to the highest ranking school in the country right now: Cal Tech.

We don't need another SF vs LA thread. There is already plenty of that in the city vs city forum...

Yawns. That depends on which ranking we're talking about.

And Im not surprised that you didnt want to address the point of that comment. SF has more ivy league grads than any metro area except NY if we are looking at the combined sum of Harvard, Yale and Princeton.

SF. Not LA.
