Which area in Los Angeles is better?

Which California region costs more to live in for middle class? Bay Area or Los Angeles County?

  • I don't plan on moving to either SF Bay Area or LA County for a while, not until at least I have a plan. But I was wondering for those live in either areas, which area costs more to live in? I understand that both San Francisco and Los Angeles have rich and poor areas around them. East Oakland is bad and many cities east of the 405 are bad. And I know if you want to live in Marin County or Pacific Palisades, you'll need a lot of money! Let's say you're working a decent job making 50-60K a year. In general, will it cost more to live in the San Francisco Bay Area, or Los Angeles County? From an outsider's perspective, I would think that Los Angeles would cost more. Simply because a car is an almost-necessity in the area, the cost of having one will increase the cost of living. But I could be wrong.

  • Answer:

    It's not even close. Unless you are really rich, stay away from the bay area.

Well, it depend, to live at the heart of bay area, is very very pricey, those home are old and not pretty yet still cost million. because of the location. L.A. you can find very nice home very close to downtown. But Bay area paid higher salary than L.A. even at minimum wage. even homeless get paid in bay area that speak for something. San Jose is much safer than San Francisco and cheaper home, plus they the salary is not that much of gap. In L.A. surround area is huge. If you work in downtown, idea probably live in Pasadena, since there's special freeway to go there and has a train one of few location in L.A. offer that, L.A. key is find cities that has train connection. L.A. weather is much warmer and can be hot, bay area.
