Napa vs Los Angeles -which is better?

Anyone else feel this way? Just moved here 5 months ago and Homes are going for about $824,500 on average. The median home value here is around $824,500, which is pretty steep. I'd say it's better for families than young singles. There's a growing tech scene which is exciting.
