Hah! Someone posted this! Classic.

I think LA people think less about NYC than the other way around... LA is more about lifestyle, NYC seems to be more about career. In the finance world, the guy who has the corner window office in LA would be probably sitting in a cube by the bathroom in NYC..

In terms of museums and cultural outlets I think NYC has LA beat. I'll keep my palm trees.

The whole southern California basin makes up about 9million... that's a huge The percentages that poster listed off is way off....

But whatever...

I think a lot of LA people think that NYC'er are arrogant and that they think the NYC is the center of the universe... probably much like we think about LA... LOL....

It's flat, except vertically.

I love to visit just not to live.

I've loved NYC each time I've visited. It was exciting and interesting. Its the greatest city in the USA.

But I wouldn't want to live there. Too expensive and hectic. LA (at least my corner of LA) is just much more chill.

And we get a lot of New Yorkers that have moved to LA. They're unkind and money-motivated people, at least the ones I've met. And they are terribly aggressive drivers.

They probably meant LA proper is less than 10% instead of 1%. I guess it is even slightly more than 10%. I was about to correct them, too.

LA people should go to New York City on December 30th, the day before New Years Eve. :O
It is very crowded... like you just walk for a few minutes, and already you have to go home or you'll go nuts.

I think LA is more spacious (definitely, because New York houses 8.3 million people) but remains to be city like.

I thought I'd like NYC but when I went, it persuaded me to not move there. I also repaired a computer for a New York State Police Officer (she was there for 9-11) and she basically told me not to move there unless I'm really prepared.
I go there to visit my Mom's Co-Worker's sister, who lives there with her husband and I like visiting, but I don't know if I would like living there. I like a yard, a city that isn't too crowded to walk in, and would enjoy parks. In NYC, you don't have that, only central park (which is also a yard, because of the one area in Central Park).

There is a HUGE difference.

And people always say "Move to NYC if you want cheaper housing than LA." - which is completely false. Someone posted a thread about beach parking being $17.50. lol. In Philadelphia, that is parking for the first hour... I was staying in Philly for a few hours and if I had not parked on the street, parking would have been $50 for about 2 and a half hours.
