Just because so many people live there? I don't want to live there, but it's objectively one of the coolest cities in the world.

Do you mean for living or visiting? Or both?

Living - Los Angeles even if you are wealthy. Traffic there is insane with ten-fifteen mile commutes taking over an hour at rush hour. And to be wealthy in L.A. means you need to have proportionately more income as housing prices are extremely high. The homeless population is out of control and the city government is doing pretty much noting to solve the crisis. Speaking of the government, there's little hope that traffic, housing prices, and the homeless problem will be solved soon as many government regulations prevent the area from adequately improving its infrastructure. Not to mention the shittastic public schools, so you need extra money for private schools. The weather may be fantastic year round but I'm not sure L.A. is worth it unless you're rich.

Visiting - Nashville. Nothing wrong with it, but it seems to be the hottest spot to go ( One Big Bachelorette Party). Hotel prices downtown are out of control and outside of Broadway, I'm not sure what it has that really separates it from other Southern cities enough to be considered one of the trendiest cities to visit right now.

I agree that you have to decide if you’re looking at visiting or living. For instance, 99% of the people in the US would rather vacation to New Orleans over Houston but that number would flip drastically if you’re talking about living in one place over the other.

Broadway blows.

The food, live music, big events, and outdoor stuff to do separate it. And the young fun population.

My favorite part about this thread is people who are saying an objectively awesome city is overrated and then admitting theyre basing that off of one visit.

"Ive been to New York and it sucks. I went for three days and went to the empire State building, Ellis island, and China Town. All I needed to see, place blows."


Retards.

To be fair, you can only get mugged walking home so many times before you start thinking “meh, this place is kind of a shithole.”
