I have been trying to decide where to live for 4 years now: L.A. or San Francisco?
I currently live in L.A. area, have a house and can live with only a part-time job as I rent out the rooms. These leaves me more time for my music (rock bands) and I can play to big audiences here in L.A., even though I'm relatively unknown still. I want more than anything to have a successful music career, but its tough. So many people & bands in L.A. make it difficult to get noticed, but it also means there's an audience almost everywhere, instead of an empty bar (which I encountered often in Seattle, where I grew up).
However, I love San Fran, and can even deal with the cold fogginess. If I wasn't a musician, I would live there. But its a smaller town, and the music scene is not as big, nor as closely followed by the fans (so I've heard). Its also quirkier, which I love but can make it difficult to do ANYthing ambitious. I've heard its harder to make it there, less opportunity than L.A.
