Just like in LA, if you can handle the traffic, then LA would be tolerable. 2 cents please.

To each his/her own. I think November to April here is very comfortable, and most people seem to agree.

Might want to type up your posts in MS Word and run a little spell/grammer check before posting next time. Insults go over better if they are understandable and comprehensible.

OP is from LA. Went to undergrad in LA. Have tons of family in SoCal. Hard for them folks to get used to the humidity coming from a dry climate. Just my opinion.

It depends on the individual. I know several Californians here who rave about our weather from fall to spring.

Starting this weekend, we'll be in high 70s/low 80s for the week, and it looks like it will be sunny and mostly dry for that time. So the humidity does let up every now and again. Hell, some days it's just way too dry for me.

You won't catch all that much with stale bait. You might try posting up that you want pit bulls outlawed in the current events section.

Dirty deed is a moron. I live in LA and love it but I yearn to be around Houstonians again. They exhibit a down to earth, jovial and witty character about them that is severely lacking in LA. Places like LA and NYC, for the most part are places where trends are mass marketed, where you go to make it which in this day and age means selling out. Thank god for places like Houston, Atlanta, Austin etc where art and creativity still flow without the commercial appeal sucking the life out if it. There is no establishment barking orders and such. There isn't this overly competitive vibe either.

Sure I will give it you that out in the stix its backwards but I would not call the city as inferior.
