That said, outside of Southern California, California doesn’t really have what I would call "beaches". Up here we have "coastline" and outside of a crazy heat wave, I agree, the water and weather is too damn cold to lounge on the coast.

Not sure where you were, so can’t speak to the specifics of why you might not understand why people pay a premium (or camp on the streets) to live here, but consensus says otherwise. Now if we could just stop passing some ridiculous policies that unnecessarily inflate the cost of living, that’d be great  |
not trying to get into the discussion of bay area vs rest of the world
but los angeles is better in any measurable (and immeasurable) metric than SF purely because it's not freezing cold, hoodie weather in the summer
