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)

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.

you’ll ‘feel’ poorer if you live in halfway decent area of LA on that income. on the other hand, boston is lame.

on the other other hand, since you are weighing these two cities and seem to have zero interest or perspective on them and are stooping to asking XO, you are most likely a salary slave and streaming slob who spends 80% of your free time in front of a screen, so just do whatever is better financially. there are not livable ‘cheap’ areas in wither city so good luck with that.

I've lived in both, but think I would pick LA. Even with CA's higher taxes, $275K feels light for Boston vs $375K in LA. Plus, LA is more diverse (I don't mean in the DEI sense - it's just that is some of everything you can imagine there) than Boston. I read a book once called "Bike Riding in Los Angeles." The rider goes around LA reading people's minds and observing their lives. He remarked that LA is like an endless series of small towns because you can only see three miles through the smog. The smog part is not accurate any more, but the endless series of neighborhoods rings true. Plus, it has a dynamism that Boston seems to lack. I found LA easier to fit into as an outsider. Even today Boston seems more parochial.
