brighton beach is a russian neighborhood full of russian clubs and russian restaurants. santa monica and venice beach are little tourist traps on the beach. brighton beach and coney island kick the crap out of venice and santa monica. all venice and santa monica have on it is that they're not as concrete and dirty but some people like that about ny.

Santa Monica is a separate and fairly upscale small city that's a desirable place to live with a somewhat touristy beachfront area... Venice Beach is a bohemian beach neighborhood that's been more gentrified recently and has the attraction of being built on canals. I like Coney Island and Brighton Beach for the atmosphere, but it's basically a cool old school amusement park and Russian district surrounded by housing projects. It's fun to visit but isn't really a place most people would chose to live near.

Just for clarification, its the other way around. The projects are at Coney Island and they are surrounded by nice neighborhoods - Sea Gate, Gravesend, Brighton Beach, and Manhattan Beach.
Dang iPhone issues - voted for NY but wanted to cast my vote for LA live.
In Times Square, it's a pocketed zone where you feel cornered (good spots there no doubt though.) At least at LA live you can score free parking and take advantage of many hotel pools / hottubs if you sneak in. And BTW rarely is anyone ever checking
