Politics, for one thing.
Beyond that, I'm not sure it's that simple. Northern or southern, I tend to group people by the degree to which they feel they're not alive unless they're rumbling around in some vehicle. Once you get beyond SF/Oakland/Berkeley in the Northern California region, this disease is just as prevalent as it is in southern California.
All the livable cities articles state that the requirement of a livable city is good public transportation and a nice walkable downtown that's not too far removed from residential areas. I think more northern California cities fit that bill than southern California cities which are more heavily populated with strip malls.
