I love Southern California, and General both cities! But I’m more prone to San Diego because I think it’s more of a beautiful city for one thing. And I just love the San Diego lifestyle a little bit better than the bigger city of Los Angeles. That’s just my opinion. Lol.

East Coaster here, but I lived a year in Long Beach and I have to say, the people in Long Beach were the friendliest I've ever met anywhere in LA.

[@Kingston_H_MTB]

Note: In San Diego, don’t go to more southern beaches because sometimes, the runoff from a river in Mexico pollutes the water and makes it so you can’t get in the water. This includes Coronado Beach. Sometimes they’ll be signs on the beach telling you not to get in the water. Just take note of that if you’re visiting SD.

[@Kingston_H_MTB]

Also, don’t to to Tijuana rn cuz it’s really dangerous. People that live there and come to the US for work say that they don’t go outside anymore because of the cartels.

[@jobobperry]

San Diego is my dream home, i love this city. There are over 70 public golf courses, hiking and biking everywhere and the zoo is world class. Business wise yes LA is king, but for quality-of-life SD is the place for me. You can walk from one end of the city to the other in a half hour, no one walks in LA. Plus, the LA traffic is the showstopper for me. LA is a great world class city and San Diego is heaven on earth. See you outside...

[@roberthasan6231]

Thank you for the video! LA & SD are always compared & both cities are special in their own way. I'm a born & bred resident from the Dallas/Fort Worth area in Texas & have been to all 3 major cities in California. In my honest opinion, San Diego is wayyy better (most recent trip Nov 2022). It's like a cleaner, organized LA with far more water surrounding it. People are much friendlier, far less traffic, the vibes are def more chill, & it's the quintessential California experience. Like I know LA one can get better Asian food, burgers, fine dining, & varieties of cuisine better than SD, SD has pretty good options as well but on a much smaller scale. LA just has more when it comes to music, movies, entertainment, culture, shopping, museums etc. It's what they do best. SD excels best in beaches, nature, easy going lifestyle, zoos, relaxing, sightseeing, eating the best Mexican food & drinking the best beer. San Diego def should be talked about more since San Francisco & Los Angeles get all the attention!! Best city in California! Even my girlfriend who is from the East Coast who finally visited California in February took recs from me as the first city to visit in California has to be San Diego. 😄🙌🏾

HOWEVER, San Diego is a "city" where my NY husband and I intend to raise our Toddler son, because it is a safer community for him to grow and thrive in.

[@jayyswrld2464]

NYC traffic is horrific in my opinion. It's way too many people. La seems to have bad traffic because alot of people seem to drive slow but it seems like you can switch lanes and jump in front of stoned slow drivers. NYC that's impossible. You'll be bumper to bumper 21/7

Definitely will be! ☀️

[@the_letter_b]

Great video and agree. If you're a single person that doesn't work in entertainment and aren't worried about appearing cool based on where you live, there isn't an absolute clear winner. Big pluses for LA but also bigger negatives. If you have a family and can find a good job in San Diego, then it's probably better overall. Good point about the downtowns too. San Diego's is built on a bay close to the ocean, looks a lot nicer and active. DTLA is far from the ocean, a lot of it looks and feels run down and abandoned, many just have no reason to go there and don't. As for the poll results, I think a factor could be that there are way more people in LA and many people will side with their city over another, some may have never even been to San Diego. Like polling people on New York City versus Chicago.

[@MichaelMartello]

Good point about the poll!

We just got back from a 10-day trip visiting both Los Angeles and San Diego. Our experience was the exact opposite. We found LA people to be so much more friendly and nice, and we felt like San Diego people were a bit more stuck up. Both amazing places though!

[@DryWall-wd4ei]

Both cities have become "divrse" "multiculttrl" garbage dumps. Not the California I grew up in during the 7 0s and 8 0s.

[@Thespeedrap]

Interesting I need to live in both cities to figure which one is better.

[@RAsphalt]

@DryWall... talk about stuck up! Do you really think the diversity has something to do with how clean it is? There are nice AND diverse neighborhoods in LA that are very clean! I'm sure if I go to Appalachia I can find some pretty dirty not so diverse neighborhoods.... People just love having a punching bag, the bigger the better--gets their blood flowing I guess.

[@SmashTheNumbers]

Fun video. Recently got a place in Carlsbad, CA. It takes me exactly the same amount of time to get to San Diego Airport as to get to the Southern part of Orange County (San Clemente). Between Oceanside, Encinitas, and Carlsbad, I feel like I can get to a not so crowded beach or a great food anytime and I have at least 5 good options of either I can get to in under 25 minutes. Also, there is a lot more to San Diego than the beach. There are tons of things to do inland and it is not a mass of humanity and their vehicles there. Curious what you think of Northern San Diego Country and Southern Orange County. I feel like people who live in either of those areas have the best of both worlds.

Great comparison. The Navy sent me to SD (1987-1991) and I fell in love with it. When I got out, I returned to the Midwest where I'm from originally. But SD kept calling me back, so I moved back in 2012 and plan to stay. I do agree with your comment about LA's location having better access to the rest of the state. I *loathe* driving across LA to get to places like Yosemite from SD. Angelinos spend sooo much time in their cars stuck in traffic they lose time for other activities. Not for me. While neither city has a world-class public transit system, I believe it's easier to get around in SD using the trolley (light rail) and buses.

I actually think Orange County is the best happy medium. Lots of nature, great beaches, hikes, peaceful, close to LA has all the food and entertainment but far enough from LA to escape all the craziness. Also alot closer to SD if you want to do a day trip. OC is where its at.

[@MaxFung]

OC isn’t even comparable. total suburb. none of their cities compare to either

[@hughle9617]

OC has the best Vietnamese food scene and it’s the only thing keeping me here. But grid checker board system for roads makes it so monotonous to drive and just to get on the 405 or 22 takes forever, thus to travel 2-3 miles it would take you 15 minutes in local roads bc of traffic lights. In San Diego, it would only take me 10 minutes to travel 15 miles 😂 . In LA, it took me 3 hours and 40 minutes to go 45ish miles once 😂

[@andrewusa14]

I've lived in SD for nearly 20 years and can say that SD is a great place and has nowhere near as many homeless as LA, outside of downtown San Diego. That being said SD is now the most expensive city in the entire country. I'm moving up to LA for work purposes. I'm not really a fan of California as a whole if I'm honest, but until I get where I want to be, I gotta be in this state.

Less diverse and more dangerous if you are “diverse”. Over a hundred thousand people moved out of SD in the last 1.5 years. Not all of the moveout had to do with economy, business opportunities, nor weather. It has to do with safety and survival. I’m sure I will be “downvoted”

[@calila3812]

Just a thought...:) LA is so close to Orange County which has beaches that may even rival San Diego(Laguna, Newport, HB). In my opinion, LA is the best for City Life, Orange County is the best for the beaches, and San Diego is beautiful. Overall I prefer LA...easier access!

[@MichaelMartello]

[@mookfarr]

I've lived in both counties. There are pockets of "hustle" and pockets of "laid-back" in each place. For example, people in North county San Diego would describe downtown San Diego using the same descriptors used in this video for Los Angeles. That being said, I'm definitely team San Diego.

[@gridley]

Michael's comments about Hollywood Blvd & downtown LA are not uncommon. In a way, however, both parts of LA are actually better today than they were yrs ago. Or back when some people claim that LA was a better place. Same thing is also true of NYC's Times Sq of today (more Disneyfied) versus its X-rated-porno-store past. LA's downtown is grimier than SD's downtown is, but it has more social or cultural, historic complexity than SD does. But different strokes for different folks.

I’ve now been in LA county for 11 years (El Segundo, Mar Vista, Hermosa, Westwood, Redondo, Palms/Culver). I have to say, something about LA is just different. The sports culture and overall connection with the city is hard to describe. I also like the iconic neighborhoods to hang in like Santa Monica, Manhattan Beach, Los Félix, Malibu, etc. I think when I’m in my 40s and up (32 now), SD is much more chill and likely better.

I haven’t been since Covid, but the last time I was in San Diego I was so disappointed that all of the beaches were paid parking. It used to be so beautiful and free. And the homeless situation was getting out of control. I miss California and I always thought I would end up there. I was born and grew up in Miami, and that Is no longer at all desirable to me. I just wish California would fix its politics, but right now, the whole country is in the same crisis mode. Now I live in the treasure Coast Florida, and it seems that everybody’s moving here from everywhere and although it was nice, it is becoming expensive and busy and pushy.

Besides Oahu, there is no other place I’d rather live than in San Diego county. I lived there for 31 years but 8 years ago I married a woman from the central valley and relocated there. I go back once in a while but I miss San Diego badly. My wife won’t move to San Diego county. Has her family here. Nothing in the Central Valley compares to San Diego. But nothing in San Diego compares to being close to Yosemite national park and sequoia national forest like where I am now.

Honestly i from la but ive been to San Diego a lot and i like them both and downtown San Diego is nice but the view of downtown la is nice

No contest in my opinion. San Diego is a much better. Driving in LA is a nightmare. More homeless. It does have its charm. I did grow up in the San Diego area in the 60's and it was awesome. I visit a couple times a year . Don't ever plan to go to LA again. To me, it's a nightmare. Could careless about Hollywood.

It’s the same difference with the SFO Bay Area and the Greater Sacramento Region. Just exchange Tech and Finance vs Entertainment as the Bay Area’s main industry, while Sacramento is more laid back, nature loving, farm to fork.

Interesting!!

I grew up in San Francisco and then spent most my life in Sacramento. I absolutely hated it because I saw no nature 😂 which is why now I live in San Diego, where its full of scenic areas.

What kind of nature does Sacramento have
