re: New York or Los Angeles?

New York : Los Angeles :: a road trip with a smartass with a beer gut and a hard hat who has recently tried out for a part in Streetcar at his community theater because his pension at his construction job allows him to work part time now that he's in his 50's : the same road trip with a bleach-blonde, fake-titted, botoxed 48-year-old who has gotten by on her looks since she was 11 and is adjusting poorly to the fact that with each passing day, fewer people want her snatch
There is no wrong answer, but give me New York.

I love both for what the are. I'd pick LA due to the quick access to beaches and mountains.

Maybe some people define 'quality of life' as being a part of a neighborhood, with top-notch entertainment, food, nightlife, parks, and overall 'things-to-do.' Not having 4 acres and 3000 sq ft in Livingston Parish for muddin', catchin' crawdads, and being bored out of your mind on weekends.
If you can afford the food, nightlife, entertainment, I agree with you. Though NYC has become a tale of two cities. A stat you don't hear advertised- 46%. That's the percentage of people in poverty in NYC. Also the average price for an apt in Manhattan-$4000/month. That's a steep price to pay for 'quality of life'.

As probably the only person here who has lived in all three (admittedly, BR only for LSU), I would unequivocally say NY.
Again, though, it depends on which parts we're talking about, as well as who you are and what you want from the place. It's far from a one-size-fits-all question.

what would you consistently do while living in a place "with stuff to do" that makes the difference/

City limits only? New York to live in Brooklyn or Manhattan
Suburbs included? LA so I could live in Santa Monica
I'm with this, id much rather live in manhattan than hollywood or downtown LA. Santa Monica isn't really a suburb of LA though, SM is it's own city, but really is just an extension of west LA/westwood that is awesome because it ends at the pacific ocean.
studio city, sherman oaks(where i live), encino and other places in the SFV are the real suburbs of LA, and great places to live. traffic/parking is a lot easier than "the city" as we call it.

Do you put Los Angeles or Sherman Oaks as your address when you are mailing a letter?

No one who lives in the Valley thinks of it as "Los Angeles", even though it's officially LA city limits. The various parts of the Valley were their own little towns for quite awhile before LA annexed the entire area, and to this day they still use those names.
As an example, non-Valley LA city zip codes are all in the 900xx format. Valley zip codes are 910xx.

I know the history, but it never seemed right with me when people said they were from Sherman Oaks/Woodland Hills/Encino/Van Nuys..etc...,California. Its very confusing...

Well, who says they're from "Santa Clarita"? They'll still be using the old names 50 years from now

Yep, they probably will be. Hopefully one day the names will get more interchangeable like New York City.

NY. Already spent 25 years in L.A.
Posted on 8/31/14 at 10:45 am to Chronic
LA hands down. NY is cool to visit but would hate to live there.
Posted on 8/31/14 at 11:05 am to Chronic
Never been to L.A., so it'll have to be default NY for me
