I've never been to either city, don't have friends or family in either city, I have always loved the beach but recently picked up skiing and love that too, and according to rooms listed on Craigslist, San Jose is a cheaper place to find a place to live. I know little about the differences in cultures between the cities besides the stereotypes associated with them (more Asians in the bay area, more Mexicans in Long Beach). Coming from WA state, I think the transition to San Jose would be smoother, but there's benefits to going further outside my comfort zone.
I keep running into facts on either city that sway me to the other side. Right now, I'm leaning towards Long Beach but who knows where my mind will be a week from now when I have to make my decision.
