Uh, wrong, NY public schools are hardly any better than California schools and the colleges in California are waaaay better. As far as cultured, only a small segment in Manhattan and Westchester are "cultured". In California is are many in LA, SD, orange County and the Bay area. I don't care for California so you can say this is an unbiased opinion since I have lived multiple years in both states
Let's see, in Manhattan we have an Ivy Leage University. Do we have one in Los Angeles? No. San Diego? No. San Francisco? No.
Excuse me, but obviously there are no Ivy League University in the West Coast. It is an east coast thing. We do have Berkeley (has the most programs in the top 10 ranking than any other university on the planet), Stanford, UCSF (arguably one of the best research medical centers in the world), Cal Tech, UCLA, UCSD (Bioengineering anyone?).
LOL, I feel like I'm sitting the "special kids" classroom.
Well, ding dong. California is a MUCH larger land mass than New York City. For the second time; how can a single city compare to an entire state?
1. There is no "cultured" part of Orange County. There is no "cultured" part of San Diego. "Cultured" and "Orange County"? LOL, I just had to laugh. What do you think cultured means anyway? Juicy Couture and strip malls? Yikes. There are hardly any "cultured" parts of Los Angeles.

Well, lets see how wrong you are.
1) Do you really think that all those multimillionaires in Orange Co and SD do not have sophistication and much knowlee of the arts and fine wines etc?
Moderator cut: no need to get personal
Stanford, CalTech, UCLA, USC, Cal Berk are better than anything in NYC

I could continue on and on, but I think you get the picture. If I went on to arts, philosophy, humanities, history, poli sci, ect, we would see Berkeley in the top 10 for all of those.

2. You must be Moderator cut: unnecessary if you think USC and UCLA are better than Columbia. Stanford? Maybe... but USC, UCLA? LOL.
3. Millionaires in OC and SD? First of all, the vast majority of Orange County and San Diego is middle class. There aren't many millionaires in either of them.
Even if there were, do you think of Britney Spears is cultured? She's a multi-millionaire, right? And yes, I have been to Orange County and most of them couldn't even locate France on a map. I'm sorry, but I find it hilarious that you think knowledge of "wine and cheese" = sophisticated. Typical American. It's easy for the trailer-park types inhibiting cultural cesspools like Orange County to be "millionaires" by real estate (well, at least they were millionaires prior to Southern California's massive housing crash) so the "millionaire" stats are fairly meaningless and I wont indulge you so let's take a closer look.....
There are more billionaires on the tiny 23 sq mile island of Manhattan than there are in Los Angeles, San Diego and Orange County combined. There are more billionaires in New York City + New York City suburbs alone than San Francisco, San Diego, Orange County and Los Angeles combined.
Is there anything else I can help you with?

Anything else?
Yeah, talking about money, the mayor of New York is the 6th wealthiest person in the US and not exactly Britney Spears type of person

What's sophisticated about a city that likes Republicans as mayor? Never happens in California. New York is a lot more conservative than either Los Angeles or San Francisco.

Excuse me, who is the governor of California?

Princeton, Yale (just outside of NYC) > Stanford, Berkeley, or any other California schools.
