The answer is San Diego
Droughts. Smog. Wildfires in nearby forests. Earthquakes. 13% state income tax. Worst traffic in the country. The choice isn't clear outside of hometown bias.
Never been to LA but on some starving artist shyt I've always gotten this vibe.
Its
Its 56 degrees and raining in NYC right now stop it. Its 75 and sunny in LA right now. This case is closed. Poll speaks anyway. Must accept the verdict.

Once again, outside of hometown bias the choice is not clear.
NY easy. Ny has more black folk and better culture. L.A is trash with the most overrated women on EARTH. Hands down. Tomboys with tattoos on they face and box body Mexicans. The hottest black women in L.A ain't from L.A. They transplants.

This brings up a good point too...
Just like NY ain't all tall buildings, all of LA ain't inconvenient to live in car free. Mid-City probably the GOAT place to live in LA, you right in between everything and you can def live car free---->I know a girl originally from Spokane Washington (she black too), who I met in NC in '13 or '14. She relocated to LA a year or so later and was living in Mid-City when I saw her like 3 years ago, and she didn't have a car...
LA is a lot more packed and urban than people think it is and there are parts you can live in that having a car is not a necessity...
Haven't been to either of those cities. Off what I know about them, NO desire whatsoever to see Tokyo...
No desire to see one of the greatest cities in the world, you have to culturally recalibrate breh tokyo is the well-source of one of the greatest fixtures in global pop culture. When comparing any city to NYC you have to at least have cursory source of knowledge. I've been to la and tokyo and I'm from nyc
Wouldn't mind seeing Paris and London but could only somewhat envision living in London...
Stop talking like LA is a regional city. Its a global city consistently mentioned in the same breath as all these cities you mentioned
LA is not an alpha class city on the level of the new yorks or londons bre stop it. LA moved rook and pawn on the west coast expansion and the pacific. NYC moved rook and pawn as far as making the united states as whole a game changer to the west and europe and the world
. And stop trying to turn this into a "versus" thread, this is more about what people's preference is
Most voting for LA are the "I come from the country and nyc seems overwhelming" crowd
. Act like there aren't people who wouldn't prefer LA and NY over those foreign cities, especially people from those countries that left those countries to come to LA and NY lmao...
My argument is that people who left countries preferred nyc over la wholesale for the last past century. And still do. LA is nowhere as diverse as nyc
People are people. Someone growing up in France their whole life likely doesn't have the same view of Paris as we do over here, and Los Angeles (and NY) is considered foreign and international over there....
Most people from international cities like Paris will relate to nyc before they do plastic Hollywood LA. And most people from a Gaul countryside will still relate to new york over LA
But this thread actually validates what I always thought, the draw to LA and NY is close to 50/50. I've only lived here, on both coasts, I've met literally a ton of people in real life talk about both cities in every way imaginable and I'd never gotten this impression that there's an overall consensus favorite between the two...
Its not 50/50 most people in the world would objectively say and choose nyc over la as a city
.
the bolded is my response
this poll is a result of podunk and hating ass nikkas period
To the podunk and fly over country-
NYC does not compete with you. We are the only American city that competes with the great global cities

Born and raised in NY, but prefer LA strictly for the weather. I'm over the 3 months of summer and 9 months of winter in NY
LA of course
my sister and nephew live out in NYC and it’s cool... I just can’t be right under each other like they are
I loved the spread out space and just a few hours away to Vegas

and that has nothing to do with this topic of what we talking about which is how fine they are.I’m saying proportionally LA isn’t that great. And since it’s a commuter city that’s way more spread out than others.
Finding fine women are few and far and between, even though it’s more of them
and your not gonna see dimes compiled into one spot in NY or any denser cities either unless theres some club event or whatever the sort.
LA is like every other west coast major cities but obviously much more given its the biggest city in the region and 2nd in the nation behind NYC
but it has spots where its really dense and have spots that is sprawled and spread out to where you gotta commute. Although with LA its a bit interesting because its kinda mixed together with other elements given its such a big metropolis.
There was one spot I was at where it felt congested and Spots of LA seem packed as hell to where everywhere you turn theres something there. But at the same time it has elements of distance like some west cities have.
Being a Phoenix nikka we have that but its like this - 85% sprawl and 15% density and that 15% is only in certain parts of PHX and only one city in the metro has density like that which is Tempe
and even then our compacted areas are still kinda spaced out to where a nikka from the east might still find it to far to walk to.
other then that every bit of phx is as spacious as a Houston Rockets Play. lol
