San Francisco or Los Angeles?

[angus]

I like San Francisco, but then I know it better.  I lived in central California, in Alameda County of which Oakland is the seat, for three years and during that time it was only about a one-hour commute, bike then raile, to Market Street.  Los Angeles I have only visited twice, and the longest visit was only four days.  From what I have observed, it is a very different scene than San Francisco.
