California has LA, the Bay Area (San Francisco/San Jose/Silicon Valley/Stanford/Wine Country), and San Diego. These three (along with many smaller ones) are among the most influential/populous/prosperous regions in the nation. Though they individually don't match up to NYC, combined they offer more than NYC and the rest of New York State. Does that make more sense now?

So, tell us - have you ever been outside of your comfort zone, or are you just not interested in a place if there are a dearth of native New Yorkers around to keep you above water?

I think I know the answer.........

It's pretty obvious to anyone who has spent a lot of time on City Data that Texas gets discussed way more than Cali or New York.

I'm not sure why. It does have more people than New York though and judging by the number of posters you get from Houston, Dallas, Fort Worth and Austin you would think it had more people than Cali.

I guess City Data is just a very popular site with Texans. North Carolina has a huge number of posters as well but most of them stay on their State forum where as a lot of Texan posters post on the General U.S. and City vs. City forums as well.

Honestly, it's not many active Texan's that frequent the General US section. I've noticed lots of newbies popping up out of nowhere for all states, especially when it comes to city vs. city

Texas is discussed more because it is brought up more. Lots of the threads that include TX in the title weren't even created by Texans.

It seems like there are a lot of New Yorkers and Floridians as well. As for Californians, norcal folk seem to outnumber Angelenos. Actually, it seems like there's a much smaller number of LA posters than would be expected (unless you make the argument that LA public schools are so shoddy that the kids never quite figure out how to use the interwebz).

Yes I have been to FL, Chicago, Georgia, but nothing compares like NY, and many other places more.. However I believe this thread was created to bash NY, because I have already asked Why NY is the most talked about in CD...

Everybody is arguing about California and New York. All I can say is that they are both great states and the best thing is that they are not located in the south.
