For the love of God, close this n00b thread *now*.
The OP hasn't even responded. Just making bait posts for the sake of controversy.  |

Los Angeles without question.
Chicago is great, was there in late December(all I can say is WOW and BRRRR) and had a blast. But as a place to live, it just isnt for me.
Im a Californian at heart.

You are obviously trolling.

I am from the Midwest, but would rather live in LA than Chicago. Chicago is expensive. Why pay for a high cost of living if the weather is ****. Plus Chicago is a concrete jungle. I'd take LA with the canyons, ocean, beaches and mountains anyday.

nYc...why did you leave this city out?? I have lived in LA, unless it is Manhatten Beach the rest is too fake, materialistic, traffic, smog, fire and let just say fruits n nuts running around with no direction! Chicago...ahhhh...great food, great downtown, some tradition and culture left and things are still within walking distance. I would hands down say Chicago has much more class.

I like both cities. Correction...they are 2 of my favorite cities in the country (NYC is also in my top 3).
I love the beaches, weather, and scenery of LA.
But in Chicago everything is at your fingertips. I say Chicago

And LA isn't? LA is actually more expensive.
I'm sure i'll get some negative rep points for this but...
I love both cities, but I choose Chicago. Chicago isn't quite as spread out, and with Chicago, you don't need a car thanks to mass transit. Granted, you have the brutal winters, but thats the only problem I have with Chicago. I would live in either one and will be this August. They are vastly different and I can see why the Californians choose LA. However, like the other poster said, the topic is a bit ridiculous. Both cities offer so much, there's no reason to hate on either. |

Why would you get negative rep points for your opinion? The poster asked for opinions.
I MUCH prefer LA, there is no way you could get me to Chicago. I love the beach, the mountains, hiking, mountain biking, amusement parks, and you can enjoy them year round. I personally cannot imagine living in flat land without the ocean, mountains and such.
