Not really better than the Bay Area I’d say, especially in areas with a higher concentration of tech jobs. I think LA (and SD for that matter) are poor choices strictly financially speaking. But there’s more to life than spending every dollar as efficiently as possible.

Exactly, I love LA and there is no amount of money someone could pay me to move to SF. Interesting work, maybe, but SF is just nasty every time I go.

Edit: this is my personal opinion, I shouldn’t be so harsh on SF. Obviously a ton of great food and talented people there, it’s just not for me.
