Yes you do seem to care if anyone likes LA b/c many times when they do, you come in and bark at them about how NYC is better in so many ways. If you didn't care then you wouldn't constantly come into threads and talk negatively about LA all the time. If you don't think LA is comparable to NY then fine, that is your opinion. But others feel differently and you need to learn how to respect other people's opinion b/c they aren't wrong, or right for that matter. Seriously stop treating your opinions as facts too b/c it makes you sound really arrogant. Stop bringing NYC into every single thread and topic of conversation that has nothing to do with NYC. Wake up and realize that people are sick of your constant cheerleading of NYC and don't really care. Realize that your opinion is ONE of about 300 MILLION and is not anymore valid or important than anyone else's here.

What you don't understand, it appears, is that your need to forever interject your city into discussions suggests that you are insecure or a troll

So when do I comment on Houston or New York, etc to merely trash talk without any data to back up my claims? This is why so many Californians are puzzled by some posters who attack LA or San Diego. Nobody even cares here what the rest of the nation thinks about California & we have the manners to not put-down other cities unless having to defend some lame\ false statements about our state. We know we live in a very exciting state but don't flaunt it. But when some yahoo gets nasty it is only natural to point out how less appealing some states are compared to California [that's reality

We can all dream, I guess. But I never sleep... Just like New York. I'm nocturnal. I live in reality. LA is not more important, more diverse, larger, or more influential than NYC overall. Deal with it.

There is a difference, I have lived in California, you haven't lived or even been to NYC or Houston. Your say what you percieve, we say what we have experienced.

I don't bring NYC into a conversation undeservedly. I base my boosterism on facts and facts only. I'm not bringing NYC into a conversation regarding mountains or natural beauty, but when it comes to urban discussions, it's nearly impossible to exclude NYC, especially while discussing America's real number one city of culture, importance, size, and influence. NYC is unbeatable. If you can accept the fact, that's when I will put an end to my "irrational" and yet truthful behavior.

It helps to at least scan previous comments before making an uninformed comment. I lived in New York & have visited Houston twice.
