[quote=Anonymous]OP: San Diego is worth moving to without a second thought. 
Los Angeles is amore c omplicated decision.

If your husband is spending much of his time in westwood, you do not want to live that far out—further out than Encino and the  time from the valley to westwood can take 45 min or an hour in bad traffic—perhaps more.  Long Beach to westwood is the same thing. You might be able to afford a small place in culver city—it’s a separate school district and there are some decent elementary schools. It used to be a totally sleepy area, but has become one of the more affordable spots in W. LA so is popular with families with young kids. Speaking of schools, LAUSD is a troubled school district—there are some decent schools, and some new hybrid charter/magnet schools that are okay, but they tend to be overcrowded. 
Pasadena area is wonderful, sweet with excellent schools, but too far to commute to West LA. 
As a PP suggested the palisades is beautiful but you need 1mil.  to buy a house. Same with Santa Monica (more, even because the schools are good—a million gets you nothing in the Samo school district).

If the offer was first for san diego and now in LA, he needs to negotiate a higher base salary—even if overall COL between LA and San Diego is the same, living in W. LA is more expensive, particularly if you factor in school issues.
