It's funny watching people in this thread talk about food in LA being so much cheaper than in SF, because in my humble experience LA is also quite expensive compared to pretty much everywhere else in the country.
Are they talking about the city of Los Angeles or "LA"? LA can include Pomona or even San Bernardino, Riverside and OC. The prices in Silverlake are not the same as the prices in Pomona.
My local family owned tacoria now sells a $14 burrito in LA. The rest of the prices outlined in this article are also on par with LA pricing. It's hard to find a more expensive place to live the California.
LA has a low end to a lot of things that is simply missing and not an option in SF
Applebees is gonna be the same in both places but in LA you're gonna be much more able to find some categorically lower and lower priced end non-franchised place.
