The difference is New York doesn't stand based on Wall Street alone.
New York is diversification at it's finest, a true melting pot, that has multiple big things happening.
Los Angeles on the other hand if it didn't have Hollywood it would be another San Diego.
Very untrue. Los Angeles has a highly diverse economy.
It is impossible to say what Los Angeles would be if the entertainment industry did not move here. Because it did. Pretty hard to dissect that influence from the growth of Los Angeles. I think it would be more than a San Diego.
The biggest Influence is out West little kids,Been that way since California surpassed N.y as a state in the 60s.Plus California is in talks of being it's own country it's so powerful. By itself has the 7th or 8th biggest economy on earth.
And both cities & state play a huge part in the world, If New york was in Arkansas or L.A in Alabama nobody would care but Los Angeles is located in the top dog of the nation, The biggest melting pot in the America by far,Once the high speed rail is complete and Los Angeles is Connected to San Francisco to Vegas to Diego i would like to see how that influences the country.
Now let's get down to N.y.c,it's a city combined by 5 counties or boroughs to even have that population & economy, In another thread i already broke down how each N.y borough on it's own are not Alpha world cities except for Manhattan, Imagine if Los Angeles combined as multiple counties to make 1 city lol,No contest little kid, And it's not even funny how small N.y.c is compared to L.A at it's core, But let's give credit to N.y.c for being a powerhouse for years and years but now that time is over,I visit New york now and see the locals with no pride claiming Los Angeles street gangs and you seriously wanna know who has more influence lmfao foh small inferior kid....
Dumbest thing i've read in a long time.
Bangladesh has far more people than United Kingdom, Germany, France, Russia and Switzerland. Do you really think Bangladesh is more important than those countries? LOL.
Munchitup,I grew up in the Crenshaw district,King & Crenshaw to be exact ,what about you ?
Now Hollywood functions as it's own city but merged with Los Angeles in the 19th century, still has it's own city officials if im correct but point was Los Angeles is more defined as a county than what city officials draw as city borders ,When compared to N.y.c we're up against a city combined by 5 counties
( boroughs ) & it's more evenly matched when Los Angeles includes Beverly hills, Santa monica, Pasadena etc etc
Far as influence id give the edge to Los Angeles for the simple fact that Los Angeles gangs are emulated in the 5 boroughs of N.y.c plus rikers island .
