If bashing a city is proof of jealousy, that pretty much makes L.A. is the most envied city in the United States.
By a lot.
Would you agree, Rent-A-Car?
Most of the people on this forum who constantly bash other cities from LA don't live in LA. Or at least the desirable parts of LA.
The Valley doesn't count. If you lived in the nice parts of the city you'd be cultured enough to know the things you're saying about NYC and Chicago are not true.
Most people in the world dont travel to LA in order to ride subways. They know that's not how they are going to live in LA and strangely, perhaps to the dismay of faux urbanist public transit snobs, the LA CSA will probably top 20 million people in 2020.
LA is the most envied city of this nation period, why do you think you see so many NYers bashing it? Despite it being 3000 miles away and half the size of NYC, y'all can't stop hating on us, I love it though obviously we just keep chugging along, the day LA is not hated on is when I will get worried, the funny thing is that y'all come out here you won't find Angelenos talking bad about any city, we don't feel threatened by any city funny thing is same can't be said of NYC

If you live (reasonably) well in LA, there's no better place. It is hardly overrated. The coastal location, the topography and the weather are very inspiring.

How about the attacks on LA? According to you folks on city data LA cant seem to do anything right, not even weather. The few praises the city gets is often met with backhanded insults.
I like both Chicago and NYC, even though I think that their weather is and dealing with snow is the main plot of nearly all my nightmares, I still like those cities.

Reason: language
New York has done a good job bringing down their murder rate. Chicago is heading in the right direction but needs a lot more work.
Chicago easily leads the nation in number of homicides, and year-over-year homicides increased by about 30% from last year. I don't think that's exactly "headed in the right direction".
Compared to NYC or LA, Chicago is a very dangerous city. It has many times the crime rate (and homicide rate) as NYC and LA.
