I like LA better, primarily because I like being outside and the weather in LA allows you to be outside pretty much every day. Rarely need to bundle up. If you want snow in winter you can drive 2 hours to Big Bear and ski; then if you want the desert you can drive out to Palm Springs (within 2 hours of LA), then you can end the day at the beach and surf (already got a wetsuit so I can do the ocean in winter.) You can go hiking or backpacking in the San Gabriel Mts. within an hour drive of downtown. The economy in LA is good; people don't seem so uptight as NYC. There are lots of ethnic groups in Los Angeles too; Philippinos, Indians, middle eastern countries, southeast Asians; it's not true that it's just Mexicans and some Chinese. Traffic is bad in both LA and NYC; don't kid yourself that either place has an advantage; I've been both places and they both suck. While I think NYC is a fine exciting place I just think there's more variety in LA and it's better for people who like to be outdoors.
(LA also has lots of great museums, parks, sports teams, colleges, entertainment, recreation, fashion, media...and of course better beaches)

NYC has better beaches w/in traveling distance, and warmer water in the summer, but LA has better overall weather. NYC has history and NYC has character...LA has characters...etc. NYC has the Mets, Yankees, Jets, Giants, Knicks, Nets, and the open...NYC gave LA the Dodgers.

LA...beaches, palm trees, neon, rollerblades, California cuisine, Lakers
New York...crowds, rats, pollution, bland food, Yankees
Earthquake or a tidal wave?
That said, I prefer LA.
Furthermore, the O'Malley and the Dodgers willingly moved to LA, to the disappointment of many New Yorkers.

For what ? IT industry people saturated in LA:
NY is a city with different kind of culture and business
IN LA & CA the apparel trading is dominated one with a particular business community
But in NY, it is not like that
we can give so many examples:the weather in LA is like asian climate:

Having traveled all my life, i personally like NYC better. I guess it's the rushed feeling of everything. I kinda like that feeling.

NYC it's more of a green city, more ethnically diverse, very safe considering..., it's older, it's known around the world, I live there (enough said!)
