NYC is still a vibrant, world class city, despite its problems. I don't think the "we're the greatest so everyone can get lost and stop complaining about the dirt/smell/infrastructure" attitude is helpful though. Some humility would allow it to accommodate lessons from other cities around the world.
I get the feeling LA is not as amazing as its reputation (aka overrated), but beaches and sunshine make up for a LOT in my book. I would def visit before deciding on moving. If LA doesn't work out, I'm totally fine being a Florida girl 4 life.
But yeah I've heard many good things about San Fran and San Diego. Is love to visit at some point
I wouldn't mind buying a condo in south beach or San Diego and going there for the winters or just having a second home there period. I guess the only thing that would make me become bored of San Fran quickly is how small it is as a city.
You're right who knows maybe ill like L.A better but I guess San Diego is better at showing off the images of it's city.
But I really would love to visit rodeo drive or w.e you call it. It's looks like 5th Ave on the beach.
Yep....LA is so huge with so many different types of places....I am planning a trip to Santa Monica this summer...check out the LA forums and look through the pics at the top....I think you will be impressed

I've been to rodeo drive once. It was soo pretty and fancy. This was like when i was 15 but I used the bathroom in the chanel store and it had little mini perfumes and chanel soaps. So cute

Yea I use to work in all three channel stores in NYC. Soho, 57th street and the the boutique on Madison and 67th.
They had a dress that cost 55,000 dollars in the soho store which was stolen by a Venezuelan tourist.
I just hoped the cops didn't take this crime seriously because no dress should cost the same price as a BMW.
My parents live here, and I have no money, so I can't leave until I save and build my résumé in the meanwhile. But since I am from here, no, I can't just leave. I don't know what I am looking for on a forum. I just wanted to vent. But sorry, can't leave just yet, as I pay 0 rent here
That's understandable, but IMO asking for ideas on how to move on would help you better than ranting abt NYC. Don't get me wrong it's your account and they're your fingers you can type what you want to..but I also saw you say your family is tired of hearing you complain, maybe stop complaining & take some action..or even get out & enjoy your time left in the city before you depart. The city is only gray on gray days, as is the rest of planet earth. I posted a lovely picture of the city up by Columbia on this thread and the colors are far from gray.
Sorry to disappoint you but rodeo drive is actually far from the beach.
Never said it was on the beach smh. I was being sarcastic towards the palm trees and sunny weather. Compared to 5th ave in NYC it looks like a 5th Ave on the beach. Sorry if it wasn't clear.
