I agree with you on the weather. I'm not a fan of the weather here either. I'm a city boy though and I don't like suburban environments or relying on a car. Plus I need my late-night parties/nightlife so I'm happy in NYC. NYC is the only reason I put up with it and I wouldn't wanna live anywhere else in this climate. My perfect dream City would be NYC with LA climate
Same here
As much as I love LA - I'm too much of a city girl to really like living there. I'd be content with it but will miss the city too much. Plus... it's NYC!
Warm cities or cities with good weather tend to be the most boring in warm months. Cold cities tend to have more exciting warm months.
Cold cities are ready to go nuts when it’s hot outside while in warm cities it’s the same ole same ole. That’s been my observation!
Depends on the city probably. San Diego was always more lively and fun during the summer. I'm sure cities like Houston/Dallas are slow because it's so unbearably hot there.
Those months are probably a good split for the time to live in New York City and the rest to be when you live in Los Angeles. I'd also take December in NYC if I knew I was going to be out for the next three months. It’d give LA some time for some rain to flush the streets and green things up a bit and the holiday season in New York is more interesting.
Also, good beaches are more accessible in New York City than Los Angeles. You can get to them via many different ways, there is a lot of variation among the beaches/waterfronts, and the water temperature usually feels just right in the summer.

It looks like he's talking in the sense of releasing "pent up energy." He believes that since the winters in cold weather cities are harsh, the people there are filling to the brims with energy that they can finally burst out and unleash when temperatures finally warm up. But since warm weather cities feature warm temperatures all throughout the year, there is no such defined rise and fall of energy.

No, because people in those cities know what mornings and evenings are.

Yeah I got that. I was pointing out just because a city experiences relatively warm temps year round doesn't mean there can't be a defined rise and fall of energy. Summer is San Diego's peak tourist season and you can definitely tell how much busier it is than other times of the year. Just like the energy changes in winter for Arizona and South Florida.

So dead during the day? Exactly what I was referring to.

That's fair, though I took it that he was referring more to local residents.

Except that you didn't specify that. And they're not dead during a summer day, just less activity than with mornings and evenings. In fact, you'll probably see much more activity during their summer days than with their winter days (even the mild winter days).

Don't really see why that matters. Lots of tourists in those colder weather cities in summer to so likely wasn't just talking about locals.

Didn't really think I needed to since that is when most people are active, at least in places not oppressively hot and humid like Houston.
Don't really see why that matters. Lots of tourists in those colder weather cities in summer too so likely wasn't just talking about locals.
He talks about cold cities "getting ready to go nuts" when the weather warms up. The only people doing that waiting would be the locals...

Ironically, even in the Texas cities, the greatest activity is still tends to overwhelmingly occur in June-Sept. They still do plenty of picnics, BBQs, festivities, street-balling, etc. Even oft-noted comfortable months like November don't have as much activity: https://www.nctcog.org/trans/sustdev...eport_2015.pdf

But they aren't the only ones going "nuts" during the summer either way. Again don't really see what it matters where the energy comes from whether it be locals or tourists. Are you under the impression that only tourists come from warmer weather cities or something?

Makes sense, the heat is at least consistent unlike winter where it seems to be a crap shoot and an arctic air mass can make things freezing anytime. Plus school is out like everywhere else.
