Having been to LA, San Diego, and now San Francisco (limited travels in CA, I realize), I have to say I like SF the best by far. Urban, but still felt townish in some ways. Looked like you could get out away from the city, too, but still be able to visit (though I think the Bay area tends to be expensive, or if not as expensive, not where you'd wanna live).
For the west there is always the mountain states. Far less crowded, but you'll get a fair bit of winter north of New Mexico (and a decent amount in northern NM). Also way cheaper.
