The wall to the tiger pen was seven feet shorter than the national minimum for such an animal, hence the lawsuit they won.
lulz, no.
travel some. seriously.
Every 'old' city has great food. I lived in Alemeda and that was close enough for me. I've always wondered about the people who like to live in huge cities. Not the folks who were born there but, the ones who seek out the extreme urban environment. My idea of diversity is satisfied just fine with < 30,000 people. Too bad I haven't found the place yet.

There is no place like LA area in the world.

....and?
You know what I mean. No place on earth has the diversity of people, food, and nature that LA area has.
I love it here. Lots of diversity, so much good food and things to do. To me, this city has a lot of flavor and edge. It has everything that I want in a city but could do without the gheys.

Oakland or Richmond > Tenderloin anyday. I've gone to the Tenderloin plenty of times. There are a handful of shady clubs and while I do feel a bit scared walking through with 2 cameras and all my clubbing photo gear, it's never really bad in general.

SF and the Bay area might be my favorite major city in the US. NYC is another fun city, but SF has a much more active (people walk, run, bike, etc a lot of places in addition to at most a few hours drive to mountains, wine country, beaches, etc) than NYC. LA sucks. So many people, dirty, and too wrapped up in itself. I have not been to Seattle though, and I think that might stand up to SF from a cultural viewpoint. SF weather might trump all though.
Check out a pizza place called "Lanesplitters" (IIRC that's the name), and also a place that's in Saucalito called Fish resturant (it's on a pier) for lunch. Great food there as long with Thomas Keller's (head chef or owner of The French Laundry) resturant in Napa.
lol.
NYC. easily more diverse. Both have excellent food culture, no doubt--but you're going to find much more of the elite dining in NYC, and plenty of awesome hole-in-the wall places as well.
LA is certainly no joke, but nothing tops NYC. as far as food goes--nothing tops Paris, probably. Maybe Madrid...

I go to SF for a few days every couple weeks for work. I love it. Food is ridiculous. I love staying at the hotel and walking a few blocks to work. You can't walk anywhere here in Phoenix.
It is a great city.
