Nope, just as valid as anybody else, just those who bash the east coast or anyplace East of the Mississippi with ridiculously low numbers while giving West Coast inflated numbers. Those are the ones you should take with a grain of salt.

He's obviously jealous. He wished Downtown LA looked like Manhattan... But we all know LA can't hold a candle to NYC.

Go to Youtube and listen to some Biggie... Loads of Angelenos will come in and bash him with their insecurities and then listen to Tupac on Youtube, rarely anybody from the East Coast says anything. If only I was one of those people who could just brush people off and bask in NYC's superiority, but my mouth is too big... I'm a Yankee fanatic.

P.S. I'm putting TheMachineKnownAsSuburbia and Oilpainter back on my Ignore List, so I won't see their posts anymore... I'm on the verge of getting banned because of this ****... I'll just let TheMachine get himself banned and watch Oilpainter (aka, Milquetoast) get banned AGAIN.
