When facing a big move, many Californians often find themselves in the same pickle: San Francisco or Los Angeles?
While the decision is a difficult one for a number of reasons, there are a few questions you can ask yourself to help:
- Do you dread tourists constantly looking for the “Full House” home or being on the lookout for the Kardashians?
- Would you rather root for the Giants or the Dodgers all summer long?
- Are you looking for restaurants featuring top chefs or magical theme parks featuring Disney characters?
In addition to these superficial reasons on choosing between San Fran and LA, here are some other big differences between each California location.
San Fran
In San Francisco, not only will you breathe generally cleaner and healthier air, you will also deal with less traffic due to a well-established public transit system and much less congested freeways. Plus, if you want to get away from the city, you can easily venture out to the beautiful outdoors by visiting the wilderness in the nearby Redwood Forest. San Francisco offers a cooler climate as well, which can save you from the sultry heat and air conditioning bill in LA.
Los Angeles
While public transportation may not be as great in Los Angeles, you will find flat, easy-to-walk streets without a bunch of pesky hills. Plus, you will get more bang for your buck when it comes to rent and even day-to-day expenses. Sperling’s Best Places reports that housing is 45 percent cheaper in LA, with the overall cost of living 33 percent cheaper. With a wide selection of warm, sandy beaches where you can catch some waves and lay in the sun, too, LA offers many benefits as well.
