Texas??? Nothing but steers and... err... ahhhh... never mind.

No brainer. Los Angeles is the best city in the entire world.

[Star Angel 86]

Los Angeles all the way M8.:mrgreen:8):cheers:

[MdR Dave]

I've lived in both: NY 1998 until 2004, LA since. I voted LA but I think it depends on what you want.

You want great food and easy public transportation, and a part all night every night in every club, New York wins hands down.

You want a life? Move to LA. Simply more "livable".

Doesn't hurt that Los Angeles has had nearly 100 years of gorgeous people moving in to make it in Hollywood and breeding gorgeous progeny in the process, of course!

One day I am planning on moving from Las Vegas to another city and was thinking between these two cities and Miami. So this thread will help me lots! Thanks! I was also thinking of San Francisco. Its between these 4 cities!

LA
SF
NY
Miami

[blckhaze]

I will rep for nyc even though im sure we'll lose because all the girls are moving there to party, strip, and make movies.
Props to thee LA crew.

Who's want to live in a city where you ride on a train all day like some kind of sardine?

From the South Bay to the Valley
From the West Side to the East Side
Everybody's very happy
'Cause the sun is shining all the time
Looks like another perfect day

I love L.A.

LA's the place for you and you're just a short drive from your buddies in Vegas.

[theone1982]

I've never been to New York, so I'll say L.A. Plus, you can't go wrong with the weather there.

The City (and county) of Los Angeles!

[Yvonne183]

I grew up in the Bronx and lived most of my life in NYC and never been to LA, So,,, even though NYC is not the same as when I lived there, I'd still gotta vote for NYC.

If I were young and had it to do over again, I would move to New Orleans.
San Fran would be cool, too.

But there's nothing in the world like NYC!

[CORVETTEDUDE]

I believe they're both shitholes, so....DENVER!!!

[LittleGuy]

I run LA

[Stavros]

I think its pointless comparing New York to another US city because of its historical breadth and cultural importance -New York is a world city like Paris, London, etc; it would make more sense to ask Los Angeles or San Francisco as both are in California, and San Francisco is like New York: a compact, European style city. The climate in San Francisco might be a bit weird, but the topography, the urban fabric and the ease with which you can get around makes it one of my top 10 places of livable cities, whereas I would happily never set foot in LA again. To many people it means Malibu, Rodeo Drive, Hollywood (west or otherwise) and so on; I got stuck in two of the eastern 'cities' and saw nothing much apart from a warehouse, a lot of electricity pylons, and Mexican-style cantinas. The taxi drive to West Hollywood on my weekend off took nearly an hour, and when I got there I discovered the ts night in Peanuts (as it then was) ended the night before. Cue Martha: 'What a Dump!'.

LA vs NYC?
NYC by far:

NYC out of the two but neither one really

[onmyknees]

I've lived in both, and obviously both are very different but of course I'm a New Yorker, so I'm partial. It's correct that NYC is an international city in terms of finance, fashion, world affairs, politics, art, and theater....LA for entertainment, so in that regard there's no comparison. The climate thing is no contest unless you like autumn, then the 4 seasons might appeal to you. I found much to like in LA, but fuck the traffic and the freeways, and there's way too many pretentious a-holes there, ( not Wille, Dino, or Bella..LOL) but I'm sure it could be said that NYC is cold and unfriendly. But can any city match a world chamopinship team riding down the Canyon of Heros? Not likely.
Seattle is a great city as is Denver....but too may west coasters moving there !

Is this video a joke, or is it meant to be taken seriously?

Is LA really only like 6 tall buildings?

[fred41]

That LA remix of the song really sucks.

[peggygee]

New York, New York, the city so nice, they had to name it twice.

Shout out to Crooklyn. :Bowdown:

[dduptown]

I've lived in NYC and want to go back. No other city I've been in compares. Can't wait to get back in to Manhattan.

[dreamon]

surprised and disappointed in the results so far! That's ok though- just checked the weather in NYC- it's 45 degrees haha!

[south ov da border]

been to both for a while. If LA had a train system like ny they would take the cake no doubt. NY-great basketball pickup games, subway, good grub, good action, good music. L.A.-Good music, good b-ball pickup games, good grub, nice parks, and nice trans ladies. Hard to pick...

[amberskyi]

new york stand up! lol

[PomonaCA]

The world must be full of fucktards, more than ever, if riding on a god damn public TRAIN is an asset. I suppose if you are poor or an alcoholic without a drivers license then riding on a TRAIN would be a good thing. Besides, unless the retard train drops you off at your doorway, you'll be doing a lot of walking...... even when it snows! Ewww!

None of the above. Hate big city life but I like to go in and party but I always have to have an out or Ill might get into the mob effect that this is the only place to live and start shooting people because they'er differnt or I have tooooo.

[Moogleman03]

No contest.. New York is the greatest city in the world... LA is all fluff...no substance.
Nothing is as real as NYC!

[Star Angel 86]

Damn has this thread taken a turn for the worse oh yeah we're on a New York based forum go figure.
Bottom line is I love LA I'm a LA lad at heart however my next home will probably Florida being that I love a warm climate and I've done that cross country move twice I don't want to do it a third time.

If I ever have to move, it would be Las Vegas (which I was contemplating recently) or San Francisco. I hate the Giants, not the city!

San Diego would be on the list as well...

Los Angeles has been been over populated even when I lived there last in 2004.
San Diego I feel to much of crime is going through there.
I almost relocated to New Orleans because I'm familiar with the city I have relatives that have lived there for decades I used to vacation there during the Spring and Summer during the 80's and they have a lot of strip clubs through out the French Quarter my area of expertise.However that plan took a turn of events when Hurricane Katrina hit also my mom is 75 years old and needs my assistance so for the time being I'm stuck here in Northern Virginia and I'd love it here if it were't for the harsh winters.

How is LA culture-less? It's the most diverse city in America! Not to mention we have Hollywood, aka the creator of American culture as we know it.

Exactly especially since you have all walks of life relocating to warm sunny Southern California especially East Coasters taking in the Rose Parade in their frigid climate.

[Helvis2012]

It really doesn't matter in the end. Wherever someone can exist happily is a good place. I will say, however, there's a reason so many people compare other cities to New York and that reason is obvious.

Oh so now New York is educated too? I guess you aren't educated enough to enjoy lots of sunshine and drive your own vehicles down PCH. Nah, to be educated you have to travel around like some kind of rat on an underground train.

The funny thing is, you clearly have never been to New York. And the PCH? Have they rerouted it to the Valley?

Stick to your specialties--white trash and toxic waste and you'll do fine.

Yeah.....that's quite an impressive list....for LA, I suppose.

If you Google most big city's ..they have websites that will give you a decent list of museums and aquariums.

..the two cities are not really comparable...other than being big. For one...the weather is too different...the structures are different...the historical significance is different..so on. N.Y...is probably closer to Chicago than LA.

However, from what I understand...crime is much higher in LA.

I have never been to NYC, but really want to go. I was born & raised on the westside, and I don't think I would ever live outside of CA. It's just the weather my friends. We get so many peeps from the east coast who live out here now & would never even think about moving back.

I wonder how many people on this thread who voted have actually been out here to LA? Some people see it on tv, but some of us actually live it.

[T$420]

LA is the most diverse city in America? HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Wait till you get out here, little homie. You will see what's up with LA, shit, you might not go back home after your trip out here, lol

And yes, LA is fuckin diverse as hell! What is your definition of diverse? In my highschool, we had every single ethnicity you have ever seen. Whites were not the majority, we had the biggest melting pot you've ever, black, hispanic, every type of asian, indian, russian, persion, you name it. I'd say we are really diverse out here. We ain't Grand Rapids Michigan, thats for sure.
