Financial district was cool. Got a picture with that old house (birthplace of the first American saint) with all the towers around, and of course a shite-eating grin in front of the Trump Building.
I didn’t get to see trump building, but I got to walk the floor of the NYSE and take a pic with the gavel under the bell

You may be thinking is Santa Monica.
I wouldn't consider Seal Beach to be LA either. I was simply referring to the handful of really cool beach towns near(ish)by, but yea Santa Barabara is definitely a stretch ha.

I don’t think I could live in either, but NYC has some serious food scenes. I could spend a month in NYC just to eat.

Honestly, one of the $5 lamb gyros from a halal cart is some of the best shite I've ever had. I could eat myself to death on those things.

LA traffic is completely avoidable 90% of the time unless you’re an idiot or a tourist.
I mean if you took a job in Orange County and want to live in Glendale or something yeah your commute will be awful but that’s really on you

What do you mean by avoidable?
Are you saying, "you will encounter little to no traffic" or "it won't be as bad as taking a major thoroughfare"?
Look, I know I'm a hick. MacFarland in Tuscaloosa makes me angry, and I realize that's pretty mild in the grand scheme of thhings. But I can't give any countenance to any place that involves sitting stationary for an hour or two a day.

Southern California has more miles of freeway than most countries. There are more ways to get to where you’re going than just the obvious routes. I live in LA County and work in Orange County and I’m certainly not stuck in my car for hours a day.
All things considered, traffic in Baton Rouge was worse because you have inherently less options

I can’t stand either. Too many people and most of them are rude.

For LA its all about the weather.
For NYC(Manhattan/other high density areas) it's about convenience. Everywhere else feels like a third world country in comparison.

I'm glad we now have a Chalmette Owl in New York, the concrete jungle where dreams are made of, there's nothing you can't do...

Can't operate a smoker (I checked, no wonder the best city in the world for food has shite BBQ)
Can't fish
Can't hunt
Can't really garden
Don't get me wrong. I won't denigrate someone who really wants the urban life, but there is a whole hell of a lot you forego by living in a place like NYC.

I recently lived in DC for a couple of years, and while it may not be in the same category as LA and NYC for some it is for others.
So while in DC, there was an endless supply of things to do, people to meet, places to go, etc. and there were copious amounts young professionals who shared similar interests. I was usually “out”.
I often contrast this when I’ve stayed in other large cities that just don’t feel the same. Think Albany, Houston, Nashville, etc.
In other words, it kind of felt like college except we all had larger bank accounts. I just haven’t had that same feeling anywhere else I’ve stayed.

What’s so great about living in Los Angeles
Lots of access to mountains, beaches and other stuff. Lots of sunshine.
Very high cost of living, no rain, TRAFFIC!!!, way too many damn people.

I wouldn't say it's quite to the level of DC in this regard, but Boston definitely fits that mold as well.
