you cant even compare chicago to the OC except for the substantial amount of people there is. The weather, people, and food, and culture are different worlds. If you have family that you need to tend too or moving for work reasons...than it really does not matter does it. but if you were planning on moving to the OC i would move more into the HB, sunset, or seal beach area. they are close to LA/LB and is in local distance to Laguna and other coastal communities.
