Los Angeles has a much greater concentration of wealth (both in absolute numbers, and in the amount of wealth) than the DC area, and is a more expensive area in which to live.

Because it is a more educated city on average, and people here put a higher value on education, specifically prestigious education, versus LA.  [/quote]
