Boston, no contest. It is a real city with great architecture and density.

I have to go with LA...and not just because I'm a Lakers fan.

The nightlife and weather put it over the top for me.

tools? really? what kind? hammers? wrenches? ya LA has a lot of nails too.

but the comparison is non existant. last i knew boston wasnt really regarded as a world class city or an international destination. not top notch at least.

but thats not even the reason there is no comparison. they are just too different.

a better comparison would be frisco and boston. and well even then SF rules boston.

but for the sake of the the playoffs and this thread i will play along.

boston is dirty and full of people with awful accents.
Los Angeles is the greatest city on earth.

LA dominates!!!

I never understand as to why people say things like "Hands down" or "no contest" like saying you cannot compare the two remotely.
There are more important things to a city then how "dense" it is.
By standards there is more to do in South Beach or the Vegas Strip then Boston.
Yet Boston is a way bigger city then Vegas.
Size is irrelevant in that case then. (It has to do with economy, tourism, not size)

Architecture...Boston wins.
Even though I would not want to live in Los Angeles.

Los Angeles is much more diverse, plus the weather.

Totally love Boston. It's a kick ass city that's easy to get around in and beautiful. LA just seemed like the same thing over and over from the interstates and wide roads. Couldn't just walk anywhere.

Architecture? Boston.
Food? Tie.
COL? Tie
Sports? Boston.
Culture? L.A.
Weather? L.A.
Housing? Boston.
Natural beauty? L.A.
Man-made beauty? Boston.
History? Boston.
Downtown? Boston.
Nightlife? L.A.
Traffic? Boston.
Crime? Boston.

Tough call, really! Boston gets the slight edge in my book, I just find it more intriguing than L.A.

I much prefer L.A.....L.A is much more Diverse and has a Greater Variety of Things to See and Do compared to Boston.

L.A also has Better Weather.
