NYC or LA?

[DeadlyDynasty]

Which one would you prefer to live in (if you don't already live there)? Why?

[bus driver]

NY
cause it is home to the best baseball team in the league!

GO METS!

[silverblk mystix]

L.A. Best and worst of everything plus best weather.

La.

[baseline bum]

LA easily. Better weather, can hike in the mountains, swim/surf in the Pacific, two places nearby to go skiing, better access to be@ner food, hotter bitches, and still cheaper to live in than NYC. The only advantage NY has is far superior public transportation (I can't take anyone seriously who complains about traffic if they haven't spent a lot of time in LA).

[desflood]

Not LA. Never LA.

[Augie]

I've lived in both of these cities and contrary to what you would first assume, LA has much more culture than NYC. Much more to see and do. Plus the weather.

[Reck]

NYC

Never been to LA so cant say if I'd like it there or not. But considering how dry the wheather is over there, I'll pass.

ONLY drawback to LA is the awful traffic.

You like sweating like hell on humid summer days? Not following.

[CuckingFunt]

New York City is the easy answer for me, but that may be because I grew up in the LA area and already got my fill. There are a lot of things I love about it, but I never need to live there again.

New York, on the other hand, is one of my three favorite US cities (New Orleans and San Francisco are the other two) and is the only of the three I haven't lived in. I'd kill for the opportunity to finally do so at some point.

[CubanMustGo]

Neither. Not a big city person.

Even Austin is growing so much we may decide to retire elsewhere (assuming that's ever a possibility the way things are going these days).

[mrsmaalox]

Well since the original question didn't have any qualifiers like "if you were single" or "if you were rich", I'd have to go with NYC. I've been in both areas for extended periods and I think for the kind of life I lead (stay at home mom w/ 3 kids), my life in LA just wouldn't be too much different from my life in San Antonio. NYC would definitely change up family life.

[z0sa]

LA undoubtedly

[baseline bum]

Oh yeah, better beer in California too.

[Reck]

Actually yes.

I prefer summer to winter or any cold wheather for that matter.

What does summer time have to do with the rest of the seasons though?

LA

I love the west coast.

[Venti Quattro]

Ah yes, this is another issue for me.

I've always lived on the East coast. At this point in my life, I dont care nor do I want to readjust my internal clock.

Not a big city person, but having to choose one, I'd choose the City of Angels.

LA sucks unless you are wealthy, it's just another urban sprawl. NYC there is plenty to do regardless of income level

This is kind of puzzling, as there is tons of outdoor stuff to do in the LA area that doesn't cost anything other than gas money. I'll go out on a limb and say they aren't two 11,000 foot mountains to go hike within a 2 hour drive of NYC. The beaches in the area don't cost a thing (other than Bolsa Chica). You can go rock-climb on a day-trip to Joshua Tree for a lousy $20 per car admission fee, or you can do it in the San Jacinto range for free. NYC doesn't have anything close to the drive up the Angeles Crest Highway, and I'll take Griffith Park over Central Park any day.

[rascal]

NY City. More diversity. People from all over the world in New York City. Any type of woman you want you can find in NY City. Manhatten is loaded with beautiful single women outnumbering men. Also any type of cuisine you can find in NY City.

You can find all that in LA too.

Are you totally unfamiliar with the cost of living in NYC?

[Sportcamper]

NY is a fun vacation…Night life, great food, walk & take the subway…LA has mountains, beach, fishing, golf courses everywhere, Star Gazing, night baseball games…The fast pace & LA traffic does get the best of me…

A 2-hour drive isn't LA and neither is a day trip. A 2 hour drive from NYC would include Philadelphia and all of up state NY and parts of Vermont if that were the case. Plenty of beautiful national parks, lakes, and shores.

[DUNCANownsKOBE]

NYC mostly for personal reasons. I walk fast, hate being friendly with people I don't know, want a career in finance, and I like working in an intense fast paced environment. The only drawback is outragious living expenses.

Not everyone likes hiking or climbing moutains.

I have zero interest in those things.

[gameFACE]

Apples and oranges. But I have to go with NYC since I've been there. I'd rather have rush hour in a subway than on a freeway (having lived in Houston which is only a fraction of LA traffic). My personality lends itself more to NYC than LA. Hate the Yankee's, Giants and Knicks, though. LOL Knicks.

This.

There are a lot of similarities between NY & L.A.

To add to the above- cheap-cheap and exotic food all over L.A. if you like to indulge in new things, new flavors.

The women in L.A. are from all over the planet and if you like to indulge in those types of delicacies--oh my....so many flavors to try. (not saying NY does not--but I have more experience in l.a.--only a little taste of N.Y.)

17 years in l.a. and the last 12 of those I had money to boot.

L.A. wins by a mile.

What national park is 2 hours from New York? Also, how can someone complain about Los Angeles' urban sprawl in comparison to the entire I-95 corridor?

Don't worry, as LA has places for you to go suck cocks too.

LA has also a more laid-back style of living compared to New York, imo.

[IronMexican]

It's always been mt dream to live in Williamsburg, tbh.

[DeadlyDynasty]

It's always been mt dream to live in Williamsburg, tbh.

Lived there for close to a year, off Bedford Ave. Definitely your scene:lol

[ALVAREZ6]

Both cities are huge and comparable, I'd probably take NYC but only because of my east coast bias and proximity to Philly, DC, Boston.

But I would MUCH rather live in a not so massive city. DC, San Fran, San Diego, Philly, and a ton of others if it weren't for their location. I need to live near a coast. I'm sure a city like Milwaukee is a nice place to live, but no way I'm ever living in the midwest.

So what are you looking for in a city then?

Nothing in particular. Most of what I'm interested in doing I can do either here or there.

[JJ Hickson]

I wonder how many people weighing in on this subject have even been to both places. Both are great cities but L.A. is easily the better place to live. Traffic sucks but pretty much everything else is awesome.

[The_Worlds_finest]

Having spent about the same amount of time in both(about 6 hours:) ),spending traffic in both, LA all day everyday. I get my jollies from being sprawled out on the beach in the sun while listening to the sounds of the beach. I get my jollies from year round beautiful weather. The whole metroplex of LA is much better then the boroughs of NYC. What can I say. (but by no fucking means would I root for the Lakers)

p.s. medical marijuana

There are both styles available in both cities.

L.A. does have very stylish/hip lofts and/or pristine ocean views, mountain chateaus and everything in between.

But I get where NY style seems to suit you better.

[Lincoln]

LA, not as condensed and just as much to see from the beaches to the mountains to the shopping. Weather too.

Although NYC was pretty awesome the one time I visited, not sure how I'd feel about living there though.

[ididnotnothat]

NYC in a NY minute.
