Definitely not. It's pointless.

@John Starks, I'm speaking from my experience.

NYC - Better City, not much debate.
LA - Better metro, with some room for debate, but I'm standing behind this one.

NYC is 8 million people packed together like sardines in a can, who can make over $100,000 and still live like poverty. It's a life of standing in very long lines, all the time. And do New Yorkers do any physical activity other than walking? Like actual outdoor sports? Tennis? Golf? Baseball? Football? That's almost a luxury for New Yorkers. Open courts and spaces are everywhere in southern California.


Power and money is centered in NYC. But let's get real. That has nothing to do with you or living in NY. It's not like Donald Trump's success is somehow also your success. OR that's NY's influence on the stock market means that you as a consequence of living in NY, have influence as well. That's laughable. You won't and you will NEVER get to enjoy their money.

It's about living. And living in a house in LA among the hills is much more attractive than renting space in NYC smaller than a bathroom. No thanks.

Being rich in L.A. is better than being poor in New York. I'm neither..

But I'd rather live in an urban environment with a true city feel than another sterile suburb. Which is why downtown Los Angeles fascinates me so much. It's like the real part of L.A. Like a limb that didn't get a chance to fully develop..

You seem to be completely misinformed about NYC.

Fixed that for you.

I'm also starting to get confused whether NYC is a better fit for sardines living in a can, or rats living in a hole. To me, these species probably don't get along well, are the rats and sardines in NYC integrated and upwardly mobile?

From your posts and others, it seems that NYC somehow represent the evil villains from Captain Planet... attempting to destroy the planet, living with rats, and trying to get all your money



And LA is supposed to be diverse friendly like this, saving the planet and living in a weather paradise where everybody plays volleyball on the beach and picks up trash on the highway on weekends after doing yoga.

LA is cool, but no city in North America beats NYC.

Like I said in the NYC vs SanFran thread, I lived in NYC for 12 years, so I vote NYC.
