No. It's better. The culture is better, and many that you think are homeless are actually homefree
As opposed to Sacramento where they are on meth and crawling out of the sewers
Maybe the homeless are not a relevant metric to you - but hour long standstill traffic in the capitol, despite more area and less population, is an allegory for California government itself
What I am saying is ... You encounter homeless in San Francisco or Oakland and there is much more likelihood that they are going to impart worthwhile game or wisdom - if you encounter homeless in Sacramento you can hopefully get a tetanus shot soon enough
Aside from that, people from around the country go to San Francisco to be homeless
People that are homeless in Sacramento are from there or the next town over
It's not close to the same and you can only take this position for having pride in your city. You having pride in your city means that you have an optimistic outlook and that will carry with you through every city you go to so wherever you raise your child they're going to be in good hands, but it's not Sacramento
