SF>OC? How? You like stepping in hep-c infested bum **** on the way to your car that has had its window broken? The roads in such disrepair you need a Sherman tank to navigate? The ridiculous traffic due to the overpopulation of a tiny city? Then, yeah, SF wins by a landslide.

Oh look, a NorCal/SoCal pissing match, how original

Having lived in both, I can't really say which one I like more, they both have their plusses and minuses.
