You couldn't pay me enough to live in SM. Between the traffic, the noise, the overcrowding, the homeless guys pissing on the sidewalk, the nazi parking enforcement 24/7, the getting aggressively bummed for spare change every time you turn around, no thanks. Yes there are upsides, but I'd appreciate them more if I weren't just so "done" with urban living in general.

I'd probably take Malibu, Santa Barbara, San Luis Obispo and one or two other places way before SMO.

I've worked in SMO - twice. It was enough to make me want to not go back there anytime soon except maybe a casual afternoon visit for coffee or to visit someone. Flight instructing out of KSMO was pretty fun though - interesting crowd.
