In the world of technology startups, all eyes turn toward the Bay Area these days. But how does Orange County compare?

This funny infographic can help you compare and contrast San Francisco with Irvine.

Several important lifestyle metrics are considered, including population density, crime rate, costs, and more...

As Whitney Griffith, Cie employee, and SF-to-Irvine transplant puts it:

"I didn't leave my heart in San Francisco—I left my overpriced rent, my daily bus commute and my year-round view of Carl the Fog."

What are your most (or least) favorite parts about these two dynamic startup hometowns?

(Hint: The need for a "poop map" might be a relevant consideration...)

Thanks to Whitney Griffith and Alvin Fong of CIE Digital for this fun content.
