Los Angeles. More of a weather play than anything

Yeah, the option wasn’t “anywhere in California”. There’s a lot of California I’d rather live in than NYC.

But if the only option is shithole LA, which I despise, versus NYC, which is an awesome place, it’s an easy decision for me.

It is!

I’m from Houston. Give Houston hills and good weather and it’s LA. Same general all-pervasive grime, same sprawl, same lack of authenticity or character.

when i went to LA a few years back i did think it reminded me of Houston (in terms of the city aesthetics)

LA is nothing like Houston, minus the sprawl.

It’s the same place with different topography and weather. Endless sprawl, huge freeways packed with traffic, very grimey and dirty, downtown is underwealming relative to the population and primarily a work-only place, nothing seems authentic or organic, just strip center fakeness forever.

Your entire post that is 100% too broad.....


150k would have you living great as a single male in NYC, yet you said you would be poor

Laugh all you want. I’m hardly the first to make the comparison.

Yeah, more than one person can be wrong

Outside of sprawl, there are few similarities

NYC, absolutely...I developed a total detestation for California while stationed at Monterey...

would love three years at Fort Hamilton to wrap things up, either contract quarters on post or living in Brooklyn...from the 59th St Subway station you're less than 45 min to Times Square and less than that to Penn Station 33d St and Legends...

Houston can’t touch LA in terms of its creative/art/music scene, for one. That’s one of LA’s biggest selling points. Food scene is fantastic too. More progressive business community.

Houston is getting better but it doesn’t touch LA in so many ways

to visit, New York

to live, Los Angeles easily

I could bear a LA summer and a LA winter
could bear a NY summer, but a New York winter? Hard fricking pass

L.a.

Unless you pull 300k+ a year.

NYC best activities.
High cost of living.

Weather better l.a.

I live in L.A.
For weather alone, I'd pick L.A.
Both are expensive, crowded and have traffic. More modes of transportation in NYC. Easier to live outside of the city and commute in than dealing with the traffic in L.A. however, if you can afford a place somewhere close to the beach in L.A., you'll be happy.
NYC weather is a deal breaker though. Plus it's dirtier and stinks.
