Totally agree with you. You mentioned every single detail... I don't know about others. This is Home to me. Love this "America's Finest City."
Hehehe...
Still Love driving up to LA, for the gents that can't get down here. They don't live in LA. They are schedule for work.

I have been in most parts of the world, and San Diego is clearly one of the most visually beautiful cities anywhere. LA is not. In fact, it is not even a real "city" compared to major cities around the world. Just a sprawling, traffic snarled mess with large, gang infested ghettos, separate rich folks enclaves, and no significant downtown to speak of. In general I have not found people friendly there as someone mentioned above. Certainly not as friendly as those I've been in contact with in SD. People seem happier to be living here, and that shows in their personalities and amicable natures.
As for culture, SD also has plenty to offer at venues easier to get to than those in LA. We have live theater, opera, symphony, numerous clubs, concerts by popular artists, excellent restaurants at scenic locations, and the museums/activities/and grounds of Balboa Park. And for outdoor recreation, well again no contest when you consider all that is here and more accessible than in LA.
As for hobbying, well just look at the price differential of the ladies in both cities. I'm perfectly content with the local and visiting providers available in "America's Finest City."
San Diego better by far as far as I'm concerned.
