Los Angeles is the best city for living in the USA?

If yes or not, what are reasons?

In your opinion, which is the best city for living in the USA? Why?

and also, its impossible to say that XXX city is the best in America, its all personal opinions and taste, some people may say that Dallas or Chicago are the best, others may hate it.

It depends what you are looking for, and what lifestyle. People certainly come here to enjoy a big city that has good weather and beaches, and it's really the only super big city in the USA that offers that.

But I'd say you can do better as far as quality of life in the USA goes. It's a fine city, though.

No, definitely not. LA is a great city if you have money, otherwise it's a constant struggle.

It's very hard to say LA is THE BEST city in all of the US to live in. I agree that the weather is the best, but LA is so big, that certain parts are much better than others. I was born in LA (close to downtown area) & lived there until age 13, but once I was in my early 20s, I return about 3x/yr for the day. I don't care for the traffic for the most part & there's too many people. I like the Santa Monica area & maybe Pasadena & I go mainly to visit certain shopping malls: Glendale Galleria & Americana at Brand, Beverly Center & a few others.

Not to be biased, but I think I live in one of the best cities in the US. There's just enough people...hopefully the population doesn't increase. I wish it was more ethnically diverse. It's not congested with traffic, it's very safe, it's a beautiful city, & it feels fresh & upscale. I could actually live in this city for the rest of my life. Now that's saying a LOT.

I understand.

And considering the city with the best cost-benefit in California, what would it be?
