This is like choosing between a BMW or a Mercedes, a Lamborghini or a Ferrari, a Rolls-Royce or a Bentley. Either way its a win. I think this is more of a cultural comparison. The Bay Area which has a West Coast, laissez-faire lifestyle and religious culture, mainly white, hispanic, and East Asian populace. DC-Baltimore has an East Coast, fast-paced, Bible belt, mainly white, black, with various pockets of immigration groups. When I say Bible belt for DC-Bmore, I know they're not Bible Belt, but they have more Christian churches per capita, I'm assuming. I know other religions exist, but not at the level like the West Coast.
My personal preference is DC because of Howard University, and its East Coast. So I can visit family in NJ and in NC with relative ease. I would probably stay in NoVa. However, I'm a skyline freak and the chance to see SF is one of my dreams.
