Talked about other cities now talk about oneof the best. LA is the biggest city on The West Coast and 2nd largest in the country. SMog, cars, and boobie inplants are what people think of LA. It's got it's good and bad sides. From Disney to Compton, Universal to East LA, Hollywoodto the west side tell about Los Angeles.

Funny place to visit, hated living there.

you didn't even make a thread for the Bay Area

Yeah...well..people think all us Wisconsinites ever do is drink beer, eat cheese, and watch Packer games, so I guess I feel your pain.

Went through a phase where I loved it, but wouldn't want to live there now. Maybe outside of L.A. (the weather can't be beat).

Why ?

was born there, and lived there off and on throughout my life. i wouldn't mind living in certain areas, but the areas i really like are too exspensive! nice to visit though.

I used to like cities, but now I'm a country girl,
...seems I'm going more natural and deeper into the boonies now with this move ,
L.A. would seem worse than a jungle to me.

That's all people have to say about LA?

Your signature is awesome

I love L.A.!!! I'll be there again in a month

Somehow, I end up there about once a year despite not really being a fan.
I love the climate and the landscape and there are a handful of people I love dearly who live there.
I dislike the smog and dirtiness, the car culture, the expense, the pretension, the focus on looks, and on and on.

It's nice to visit on occasion, but I can't imagine living there.

Great place to visit, but I couldn't live there. Earthquakes, mudslides, brush fires & riots aren't my thang. Plus you need a car to get around. In NYC, I can go from the Bronx to Queens for two bucks.

But it's cold! I'm so sick of the shitty weather. I really think I have seasonal depression...that is why I vacation so much. So I won't kill myself.

First, I'm going to note my alzheimer's kicking in again, It's a FUN place to visit.

It's not green enough for me. It's so much greener here, though it's tons of eucalyptus trees which lend a unique shade of green to the landscape, I really notice the difference and it affects my psyche in big ways, too much concrete makes it depressing on sight. Driving the freeways really makes the difference stand out.

C'mon, it's not that bad in the Northeast. It's only cold a few months out of the year. And aside from an occasional noreaster, we don't get the crazy weather other parts of the country get. I like seasons.

uPtoWnNY said:

Yes. It. Is. This winter has been awful, so gloomy and we had like 5 or 6 snow storms. Today is going to be the best day out of the whole week...it rained yesterday and will again from Wed-Sat. I can't take it! And when you're in the city you get that whipping cold wind....no me' gusta!

CarrieLee said:

Hon, I'll take snow over the threat of earthquakes/brush fires/mudslides any day.

uPtoWnNY said:

Well I won't be living on a cliff so mudslides are out...I'll avoid the areas where the fires usually start and pray that we don't get a bad earthquake

I'm just sooooo over the cold and dreary weather. It really makes me sad.

LA just makes me appreciate San Diego all the more. Better weather, less smog, easier traffic, and you can be up in LA any time you want.

It's too concrete now. So much is paved over now.

Love it, but wouldn't want to live there.

I was there this past summer. My family and I had so much fun.

I love Huntington Beach It's my sentimentally favorite beach.

CarrieLee said:

Today, it's the high 50s in NYC, so the weather's getting better.

uPtoWnNY said:

Ya it's nice here today too...but just for today and part of tomorrow. Then rain until the weekend

uPtoWnNY said:

Dude, are you in NY? New York weather is so much milder than New England. Massachusetts weather is like death. It's freezing six months out of the year, and the ice and snow can be out of control! In NY it's warm by April. In Boston it's still cold in June some years!

Oh and then once the nice weather comes....so do the fucking allergies! My eyes are so itchy right now and I can't breathe

I have zero interest in LA.

Your opinion does not matter

LA gets a bad rap here in the Bay Area.

I was born & raised in LA (Malibu, specifically) and after living in Berkeley Oakland for 10 years, I can say it's not better or worse.

But for me, there is that Hollywood social climber thing in LA that always made me feel inadequate. I don't feel that here in SF/Oakland. I am never going to be the one who knows the great parties or dresses perfectly or has the best car, and that is really important in LA. Yes there are cool people, and yes it's a huge city with a lot to offer, but there is a sense that it's harder for me to talk to people because I don't have enough to offer in terms of style & money.

In that sense, I prefer this area to LA, but in that sense, many would prefer LA by a mile. It's sunny, people dress well, and there are great parties where you might bump into celebs.

That is what sucks about the weather finally getting better. I have had a freaking sinus headache for days.
