yea it's probably 5-10% cheaper at most. i think it's similar to DC, which i'd say is about that (if that).

the thing about LA is that it is very big and there is more than enough decent housing stock.

boston is much more limited. you're either overpaying to live in a select few, very small neighborhoods in unremarkable digs, or you are living in the suburbs.

that said, if you'd prefer to live in a nice and accessible suburb, boston might be best for that in the country (though still expensive)

Don't know much about LA, but when I'm there I always stay in Santa Monica, and this apartment is basically in the prime area of Santa Monica.

Don't know what's going on with this listing but my guess is if it was real it'd be $5,000 a month and maybe more.

It's a super nice area though and I think I'd live on $375 in LA quite happily

This is a pretty dumb way to look at things.

Do you have friends or family in either city? Are you friends or famly on the east or west coast?

It's much more difficult staying connected with people cross country...

Friends and family in and around both cities. Spouse has one very close friend in Boston and a few friends in Los Angeles; I have many friends in Los Angeles and just one in the New England area. Spouse has family near Los Angeles; I have family a few hours from Boston and Los Angeles. We both prefer four distinct seasons. But we might prefer to travel to ski over shoveling our driveway to get to a slope---simplifying it, but you get what I mean.
