Well, I seriously considered LA when I was relocating from Virginia. I chose to come back to SF Bay Area for several reasons, this is home, I grew up here, I had a job waiting and I moved back into my old apartment (which is rent controlled and a fraction of what new tennants are paying).
Now, had I not had such an easy move, I'd probably be in LA now.
Who knows, if the time comes in my 5 year plan when I can't afford a condo here, LA and environs is going to look much more appealing (not to mention the appeal of the good crowd of people already there or those who soon will be)
