I have never been to southern california/LA, but after having been to SF, why in the world wouldn’t you live there if you lived in Calfornia? There are several reasons why I haven’t moved out to SF, but if you are out in California already, I really don’t understand why you wouldn’t live up there unless you have to be in LA for the industry.
Trips I am planning the details of, both those...
