Philly ain’t really that similar to NY other than being close. It’s more like a DC/Baltimore hybrid.

Moreso this than anything.

I'd compare NYC to Jersey before I'd compare NYC to Philly

It's like Houston and Dallas

Completely different cities, completely different politics and shyt.

I mean I’m not that fond of San Diego but I would put that shyt way above Philly:mjlol:.

The question isn't about where you'd rather live it's what are they known for ?

If you stop someone on the street and ask them to tell you about San Diego what are 3 things they will say about the city that everyone knows ?

living in Philly your only immediate options are New York and Atlantic City

living in San Diego you got LA, Mexico and Vegas.

I got love for Philly. The vibe is different in Z San Diego, so it really comes down to mood and preference.

San Diego is more diverse and like LA, there are a ton of transplants.


At the end of the day, southern Cali > north east.

I've heard of Long Beach
I've heard of Malibu
I've heard of Santa Monica

Which of these is in San Diego ?

Not to mention ..

South Beach
Virginia Beach
Cape Cod
Clearwater beach
Key West
Ocean City
Atlantic City

What beach is famous in San Diego ??




Weather ? What does that even mean ?

Texas, Florida and Many cities in Cali have great weather

And Women literally live everywhere

Is that it ???

:mjlol:


It's a nice city in Cali and I'm sure it's a beautiful place to live
but it has no identity

No wonder the Chargers left

If your city doesn't have either
an NBA team or NFL team then it doesn't really exist

It’s one of the most beautiful cities in the country. It’s not for everyone to understand. It’s why Swizz Beatz and Alicia Keys call it home. There’s no one thing that makes the city vastly different than other large cities or other beach cities, it’s a number of things together that make it superior. You just have to experience it to understand it.

I always looked at those two like that. Both cities are like a smaller, less vibrant version of their larger peers to the north.

The only exception with Philly is technically it's an older city than NYC, has its own unique East Coast swag (never tried to copy NYC) and to a city lover, it can compete in its own right with most cities in America. I feel like younger people will appreciate NYC but, once you start getting older, cities like Chicago, DC and Philly start making more sense since they're more livable and less hectic but, still dope cities.
