I don't have any advice to give on using a job offer to leverage for more cash at your current gig, but I definitely think that and extra 6K is not worth relocating to LA unless you really, really want the job or want to move.
You'll likely spend most of that just in rent and gas if you're living in LA. Plus you'd be making extra weekend trips down to SD which would also cost money. Financially I don't think it makes that much sense, but it's not always a good idea to evaluate these things just based on finances. If you WANT the job, then that's totally different.
Also, LA just pays more in general, so if you were to try to use the pay raise as a bargaining chip against your current employer they might just tell you that's the going rate in LA, but SD is different.
