the good thing that comes from traffic is seeing weird cats doing things in their car thinking they're invisible

SF!!! You need at least a few days here for your standard tourist attractions:
1) Pier 39 - Fisherman's Wharf - Ferry Building
2) Alcatraz Island
3) Golden Gate Park (de Young, Academy of Science, Stow Lake, Japanese Tea Garden)
4) Haight & Ash
5) Mission District
5) Union Square
6) SoMA area
7) Chinatown/Little Italy
Twin Peak's
9) Broadway - Bars + Strip Clubs
After that, I'd spend 3 more days elsewhere in the Bay:
1) Napa
2) Santa Cruz
3) East Bay (Berkeley/Oakland/Alameda)

Who the **** calls Boston that?
These SoCal cats got a lot of salt for NorCal. Anyway, I'm gonna say SF. Easier to get around, plenty of things to do. Having lived in both SF and the OC (frequented LA and SD) I would say NorCal cats are a lot more laid back and don't care much. Easier to talk to, friendlier, and more likely to help out a tourist. LA and SD have horrible transportation options, and LA seems to be full of stuck up people. Everyone pretty much dresses up to do absolutely nothing, might be intimidating to ask for directions and recommendations. However, if you have a car, I would say LA because there are so many places to go outside of the city, such as Disneyland, Knotts, Six Flags, etc. Beaches are a lot nicer down in SoCal. If you don't have a car, or would like to stay in the city, definitely SF. Bring a jacket though, for sure.
And if you like burritos, I'm going with SF Mission district on this one. I mean, their burritos have their own Wikipedia page!

And those bashing SF just because of the gay community are ridiculous. Ain't like they bout to do something to you..
^^^^ In the same boat. Born and raised in Northern California, been living in Southern Cali. since '04. I agree with almost everything you are saying other than the Mexican food in So Cal can't be touched - it's much better.
Are you originally Swiss? If so, GrüeziI live in LA but I recommend SF first. I know LA has a bunch of stuff to do but I feel like SF would be more interesting to someone in CA for their first time.
I wouldn't want to live anywhere but LA but I don't consider a must see travel destination. But as a place to live

Hub of the Universe
Boston's claim to fame as “The Hub of the Universe” was the work of none other than Oliver Wendall Holmes. In 1858, Holmes referred to the Massachusetts State House Building as the “Hub of the Solar System”. Bostonians liked the sound of that so the nickname, with minor modifications, stuck. When the now defunct Filenes built their flagship store at the corner of Washington and Summer Streets, a fancy bronze marker was installed to forever give credence to the name.
If you drive, why not get a rental ...SF to L.A is about 5.5hr - 8hr via. highway 5. While down around SoCal you can hit up S.D and Vegas ...thats only if you have time to burn....I got folks from NYC who comes out to Cali alot and they usual just cop a rental and they love it. The best way to know the city is to wander around anyway IMO.

Take 1 instead. Much more scenic, but longer.
