Poll: LA vs NYC

[Lager]

LA only has advantage with NY because of weather.

If LA was as cold as NY, this vote would be unanimous.

from a non-biased Canadian

i've been to both, and LA (SoCal) is far better. How can you not like sunny weather every day?

its not as cramped as NY, if I want a good cramped city I'll goto HK.

They are just different, but if I was picking I wouldn't think twice, New York, New York.

L.A. Not even close! I hate even the thought of living in cold and snow. :Q

In California, if you want snow in winter, we drive about thirty minutes to the local hills or a couple of hours to championship ski areas. When you're tired of being cold and wet, you drive home, and it doesn't follow you. One of the California state mottos is, "Snow is something you visit."

I'm an electronic design engineer, and when I'm focused on a project, I feel a strong energy buzz, which is OK, as long as I can use it to do good, creative work. I've spent more than enough time in NYC, and the whole place feels like it has that same energy buzz, and it isn't focused. It's just there, and it really makes me nervous.

I have friends in NYC. I enjoy myself when I'm there (preferably NOT in winter), and I'm always glad when I leave. New York takes itself far too seriously.

Do you actually like the city of LA? I'm a native Californian and while there are places in SoCal that are great LA isn't one of them!

If LA was as cold as NYC there would be no reason to got there.

Compare the cities, not the weather. When I first saw NYC from an airplane my jaw dropped. Everyone on the plane was giddy looking out the window. Since then I've been back three or four times, and I'm going again for Times Square. I've traveled around the world and no place compares.

NYC. cause I live here.

 

NYC kicks the shiz out of LA in every conceivable way. LA is just a flat wasteland full of foney, shallow people (not everyone?s like that, but enough are to make it a problem). NYC keeps it real. Every borough, every block, has its own individual style and flavor. You can live in NYC all you life and still never tap 10% of what it has to offer.

I will tell you a story. It was 8:00am Christmas morning. I was driving through Chelsea on my way to the West Side Drive to go to my parents house. I passed a gay porn video store. It was open. I said to myself, "I am glad I live in a city where if you wanted to, you can buy gay porn on Christmas morning."

You can probably do the same in LA but the point is, there are some places you can't do anything after 8:00 on a weeknight. NYC is always happening.

Try living in Boston where you can't even buy a 6 pack of Beer on Sunday!

NY is retarded in that way. Liquor stores are closed on Sundays and you can't buy beer in a convenience store or supermarket before noon.

A drive down the NJ Turnpike...

*sniff sniff* - mmmmm.. Cartaret...

*sniff sniff* - Oh, Newark! :Q

*sniff sniff* - Ah, exit 14C, we'll be at the Holland Tunnel in 5 minutes :frown:

But you are from northern CA, to let other people in on some CA attitudes people in northern CA hate, perhaps even loathe southern CA, and in particular LA. I lived in northern CA for a couple years, and everyone would ask "what do people in LA think about us?"
I would answer truthfully "They dont"

I think that Northern CA is beautiful, however allot of the people there do suck, snobish and take themselves far too seriously.

But not you Red

FYI I was Born in SoCal (Lynwood)and grew up there. My Grandparents actually lived in Compton before the White Flight from there. Of course that was more than a lifetime ago for most of you.
