I've lived in both and I feel the quality of life in Monmouth is better. Better parks. Better shopping. Better living accommodations. Based on your commute you could end up in some bigoted communities in OC. If that's not really a concern for you, OC would be more affordable. Sounds like shitty advice, but based on my experience it's pretty accurate.

I'm glad you brought this up, actually. We're not far from the city of Pittsburgh but we've got QAnon school board members and people trying to defund the library here. I'd like to avoid that crowd if I can.
