I've seen tons of stupid, ugly people in NYC while I lived there. I can't say much about LA, but I do know a few people who live there, who don't happen to be beautiful themselves.
The stereotypes come from the fact that beautiful people do tend to flock to LA, but it's not like LA is exclusive to beautiful people. Same with NYC, which by the way, has a lot of beautiful looking people, and equally just as many ugly people.
The bottom line is that there are smart and beautiful people everywhere. And stupid, ugly people everywhere.
I would go as far to say that the vast majority of people in general are not very attractive, even in big cities. Even as a gay guy in NYC, going out to the bars, you would still see two ugly guys for every one attractive guy. Or, the ugly guys try too hard to look beautiful when they're really not. Oh well....that's just life, right?
Looks don't typically last forever, but intellectuality does.
gosh ppl can't [obviously] joke around on here, not surprising only mr candy is capable of noticing and responding accordingly
probably a correlation in there seeing as he isn't a LA homer and doesnt take this stuff too seriously
If you didn't mean it as a troll then I apologize, but can you blame me when LA literally gets shat on in every thread? Look at the original comment from UAE50 I was responding to. "LA has no innovation", "LA isn't productive", "LA isn't important to the economy of the US", "People in LA don't work hard" blah blah blah. Utter and complete nonsense.
The bottom line is that there are smart and beautiful people everywhere. And stupid, ugly people everywhere.
Ding. Ding. Ding.
But no, this forum is obsessed with stereotypes and seeing only through those glasses. I wonder if anyone here is capable of enjoying anything anymore?
This is what I know so far. Both NYC and LA are astronomically expensive, at least compared to where I live. I would gather that if you were new to either city and had moved from somewhere smaller, cheaper, like Atlanta, Kansas City, Nashville,etc, NYC and LA would be harder to get by in.
An article from USAToday stated these cities as the hardest cities to start a business in: Best and worst cities to start a business
141. Anaheim, Calif.
142. San Jose, Calif.
143. Santa Ana, Calif.
144. Oakland, Calif.
145. Ontario, Calif.
146. Fremont, Calif.
147. Yonkers, N.Y.
148. Garden Grove, Calif.
149. Jersey City, N.J.
150. Newark, N.J.
Four of them are in the Greater LA area, three are in the NYC Tri-State region, and three are in the Bay Area. It makes me wonder about this. There is alot of venture capitalism taking place in those regions. However, those areas, according to what I've been told, are hard places to start businesses in. Those are also among the most expensive regions to live in. It makes me wonder how much has to be done just to get by in those areas. Perhaps the saying "if you can make it in New York, you can make it anywhere" could be applied to LA and the Bay Area too.

I hate to say this but...whenever I read those "hardest to start a business" lists, I really wonder what kind of businesses people actually try to start? Usually the "hardest places" tend to be the most populated places. Could it be that their markets are already saturated with stuff, making competition a lot harder?
Yeah yeah, I know about red tape and taxes, but really, what kind of businesses are people starting? Yeah, I'm sure your restaurant really is the only one in a large metro area.
Meant to post this in this thread but somehow missed and put it in the wrong New York and Los Angeles thread. Seeing how this is the thread where video games and the San Francisco Bay Area entered the conversation.
The San Francisco Bay Area is the absolute top video game development market in both the United States and the World at-large. Greater Los Angeles does very very well too, it is top 3-5 in the world.
