My wife lived in L.A. for 15 years and misses it and her friends. She knows the only way I would go back is if it was the South Bay again, so she saved up and just bought a condo there, not far from the beach on the outskirts of Redondo, so we can spend more time there. May start spending summer there when it's 100+ in Louisiana.

My wife was in Manhattan Beach earlier this year and didn't want to come back. That whole beach strip is pretty cool. I would be out there every summer at the condo.

When I lived there, I was dead center. 1 mile from the Hermosa pier and 1 mile from the Manhattan pier. Two totally different vibes and then you have Redondo which again is a different vibe. The entire South Bay is the best part of L.A. by far.

I really wanted Newport Beach this time around but that was too far away from her friends. Even this new place is a 45-minute drive to see them but that's the compromise we both made.

LA hands down. The weather there is loads better than NYC.

Both places have major issues. But if I had to choose, it would be LA without question

The weather alone puts it above NY

It's always been NYC for me but I think it's going to get worse. I still choose NYC over LA, barely.


No; to either.

I’ve lived in Los Angeles for over a decade and love it. It’s got everything. if it doesn’t have what you want, you’re not looking. The sheer volume of things to do and places to see far outweigh the negatives that everybody here seems to dwell on. Don’t even get me started on the short road trips that you can do on the weekends. Mountains, beaches, deserts, etc.

LA easily, plus quick airline proxy to Hawaiian isles, Las Vegas, Del Mar/San Diego, Carmel, Sun Valley, Big Bear Lake, Tahoe/Reno, Park City, San Fran, Vancouver, all of Colo, etc...

LA, but I'd have to live and work in a suburb. I could not deal with the 405 on a daily basis.

NYC is all city, unless you told me I could live and work on Long Island. I could do Long Island.

Notice I could not live in the city proper, it would have to be the burbs, and LA has a lot more of those to choose from.

LA, Louisiana is the best. New York has been ruined.

For real, it would be LA because you have more space and can drive.

La easily. Unless I’m unbelievably wealthy I would never want to live in nyc, and even then I’d prefer LA.
