So why exactly is NY > CA ? Im serious? Are there any good reasons at all?

^^^If you live in a certain place for a long time...then any other city you visit, and spend a week or so to get to know will probably be better than your origin city.

Your there as a tourist, staying in a luxury hotel, you eat out while your there, and hit up all the attractions of that city...I haven't been up to the empire state building nor the statue of liberty and i'm a born new yorker.

Born in and lived half my life in New York, (just moved back), and I've been to LA at least 8 times. NYC is clearly better, LA is SUPER overrated, but it's still a nice place.

I been living in NYC my whole so the hustle and bustle will eventually burn you out. Also, NYC might have more females but CA females look a lot better than these NYC hoodrats. CA>NY from a New Yorker.

Just a little useless fact about NYC ..

You can eat out everyday for the rest of your life and never eat in the same place.

culture/diversity
music scene/the arts
style/fashion


cali takes:

weather
lower rent
cleanliness (barely)

I was thinking the same lol, but I'll take the west coast over the northeast any day.

I like my 4 Seasons. I don't get people's fascination with hot weather EVERY DAY of the year.

That's why I plan to never live in Arizona. Yeup.

I actually been to a couple of cities for example Boston, Philadelphia, Jacksonville, Savannah, Baltimore, DC, Atlanta, and most of East Coast. With that said, San Diego> most of the cities I just mentioned. However, this was my first time out in the "West Coast".

A New Yorker who has actually visited and appears to have an educated opinion on the subject. Most people that post on this subject have never been to the place they are claiming to be inferior. I have been to NYC hundreds of times and I would never choose it over L.A. or SF.

 

[scshift]

From a third person perspective, both NYC and Cali are awesome. NYC is the coolest city and Cali's got the nicest weather and is literally like paradise. You can't compare the two, they're both great in their own rights.

I'd love to live in NYC and Santa Monica sometime in my life.

 

[numberr97]

Yo seriously to each their own..

Weather? I like my 4 seasons, I'm a winter guy mostly.
Sports? I like my NY sports teams
Girls? I love the sense of fashion and style the city NY girls have
Schools? You are acting like you attend all 10, big deal you got more top 100 schools
MJ/ Smoke? Don't smoke so don't really care
Business? You work at any of those Forbes 500? What are they doing for you?

We have more billionaires than you do.. We also are visited by tourists more than your state.. and?
I like what my city offers me so I live here. I love fashion week/ shows.. You have that?

 

[cedric ceballos 1995 lakers]

here's my view and i've lived in both so i'm pretty unbiased on it.

i prefer nyc over la but i could see why some would prefer la over nyc if they prefer a different change of pace


statewise tho cali > any other state

 

[westcoastsfinest]

CALIFORNIA>HUMANITY

when anyone is talking about Cali they really only care about SoCal and the Bay which combined are just a little bit bigger than the Tri-State pop.

It's obvious many of the people making statements haven't been to both areas.

at folks try to hate on Cali's "heat" like its Arizona. The average high temp in LA is 76 for the year. Just beautiful

 

[flyguy3]

easy question. Boston

 

[carver]

Dunno about yall.. but I love winter

.. I lived in CA/LA all my life and moved up to Minnesota when I was 18 and I'll never go back *kanye shrug*

 

[kix4kix]

I doubt ny is more expensive than sf

 

[rawex5]

CA over NY

NYC over any city. Not by a lot.

 

[you go boy]

good way to be objective  when you didnt even mention ca once
