A lot of people don’t kno how diffrent la is from the Bay Area

[O.T.I.S.]

Idk shyt about Cali ima. Midwest guy but everything I’ve ever seen about San Diego made me want to move there. A little more low key than the bay/LA not as many ppl. Have a couple friends who live there and the pictures they post make it look dope.

San Diego is one of my favorite cities I've ever lived in... It's like being in Hawaii with more black/spanish people. Variety is awesome, women are beautiful, weather is perfect, and food is amazing damn near everywhere you go

Sacramento is basically like the SFV region of LA. Lotta people don't even realize a good portion of the SFV is actually LA city neighborhoods, but I digress...

I have fam in Pacoima and Van Nuys and those areas always reminded me of Sac with the layout, build, architecture, banging. You could even say Sac looks like Pasadena....Sac has a more suburban nature than most of the city of LA, so you can get the vibe that you're in an outer LA neighborhood or suburb...

Sac uses a lot of Bay slang and takes a lot of cultural influence from the Bay...but Sac also has it's own culture and is the center of the Central Valley, which has 5 million people in it's own right. My city crazy underrated...

You tripping too, there is way, way, way more of a black presence and culture in LA...

@Ashley Banks you from Oakland?



You're tripping again, way more opportunities for blacks in LA than the Bay, period. Nobody black has the Bay as a top option unless they have relatives there. And you named the racist ass tech industry lmao, they are widely recognized for marginalizing the opportunities blacks in tech have----->so the black tech talent instead gets filtered to the East Coast and the South, whereas otherwise The Bay could entice them...

Your thread has a great premise but you forgot to mention how racist The Bay is, it's just glossed over in comparison to LA...

I recall meeting a Filipino woman from the Bay who said she was surprised at how diverse the google office in Manhattan was.

Yea breh folks dont be knowing

I heard the weed in the Bay is better...and most of the top notch growers/strains come from up north in the Bay/Emerald triangle.

Well since im a city guy I always knew NorCal and SoCAl were completely different places.

One thing that I think about that reminds me that both are different are bridges.

Lots of bridges in the bay.

Not many that I know of in LA.

From someone from the bay, I’ll say that the bay is changing for the worst, but there’s still pockets of Bay Area culture around there if you grew up there and know people/spots. The hustlers mindset is big here, and we party animals. Bay Area people always make parties hype because we actually dance and don’t mean mug on the wall.

For LA, it’s very superficial. People are fake with you, and do things for rep/clout/etc. but don’t get it twisted, there’s a bunch of real ones there, especially in the hood, but they still be on some boujie shyt, and will live beyond their means to keep up with the trends. Go to the affluent areas are located, and it’s a bunch of fake people who are rich, or at least keeping up the look of being rich. Traffic is trash, weather is amazing, and women are high maintenance, but bad as fukk. That’s expected because of Hollywood.

If you could put Bay Area people in the so cal setting, it would be the best place to live.

P.S. - (All of this is just from my personal experiences, so excuse me for typing in absolutes)

Yeah, it's kind of an anti-hollywood mentality up here in the bay. Everybody's just trying to stack and stay out the way unless it's some shyt worth getting into (which there often is). Our events are more for socializing rather than outright showing out though.

The Tech scene in Silicon Valley and The Bay at large is segregated as fukk and disproportionately limited for blacks compared to virtually any other ethnicity that breeds tech talent...

I heard the weed in the Bay is better...and most of the top notch growers/strains come from up north in the Bay/Emerald triangle.

NorCal weed is better but SoCal have its spots, Orange County for sure produces some good shyt...

Quiet as kept alota the best weed in NorCal comes from The Valley....and for a fact alota the big pushers OT to other states be Sacramento nikkas...

I think the average person doesn't distinguish the regions in Cali, but there's a decent amount of people who know the cultural differences at least minimally. But it's like out West, the average person hears "East Coast" and it's all the same to them, too. There is no difference between Philly, DMV, Boston, etc. And you guys up North do that too lol, to the South. New Yorkers stay using "South" in the fashion that everywhere in the South is the same lmao...

I also surprisingly have found a good amount of people on the eastern seaboard who are at least minimally familiar with Sacramento. It doesn't have the recognizance that SD, LA, or The Bay have, but it's right after that. Lotta people are somewhat familiar with the city...when I've met people who aren't as familiar and they asked me about how big Sac is, I tell them it's basically like Pittsburgh or Charlotte, from a size standpoint, placed in California. If it were in almost any other state besides Cali, Sac would be a lot more recognized, it's not a small city (relatively speaking)...

That’s another thing I recognize about Cali that a lot of people do not.

Lots of their cities are actually pretty large population wise just like Texas.

The bay got some racist idk if tech more racist here than down south.

The fundamental diff between bay and la is weather and transportation.

Weather better in la but transportation better here.

Most blacks are leaving both for las vegas.

The rent is too high

 

[invalid]

The bay's social conscious tip is one of its most under appreciated aspects imo

What factors contributed to this in the Bay that were apparently absent in LA?

Probably because people tend to migrate to LA more for selfish reasons like advancing their acting career, vs those that migrated to the bay did moreso for the culture that we're known for (initially). I think the broader sense of community put the battery in folks backs to really try our hands at making a change in the world. Now people just come here for the weed or tech boom and don't give af about any of our rich history of disruption and disdain for the system.

I'm tempted to take a week of leave and drive to san francisco. I heard that the city is built like the ones in the north east, where everthing are close by and congested. But its expensive af. And it's a 8 hr drive from san diego/oceanside ...
