Colorado
But between those two, California
Ive lived in souther california for 19 years now and I hate it, i cant wait to get out of here. sooooo expensive to live down here, the traffic, all the people, the fog, tha nasty air, its to much for me!!!!!!!!!I need to live in a small town!
I'd say neither, both are waaay too expensive and crowded. NYC can be quite crappy, have you seen that movie Escape From New York? There are lots of better places in the US.
I've been to New York and I've been to California. If I had to choose between the two, it'd be California, just for the weather and the scenery. But really, I wouldn't want to live in either place, although both are nice places to visit. The same money it takes to live in either place can allow you to live a much nicer life in the middle of the country: buy a bigger house, eat better food, more money for entertainment, drive a better car, whatever.
A friend renting a home in CA had to move out because the owner sold the house for $800k. Looking at pics of that house, it wasn't much (if any) better than houses in my neighborhood that sell for a third that price or less. In fact, that friend wants to move back from CA now, because his rent (rent!) is $1500/month, and he could BUY *two* houses here in the midwest with monthly payments that size.
California is great: from Los Angeles to San Francisco to Palm Springs to Yosemite, i love it all. Something that bugs me is that I have a lot of friends who hate Los Angeles although the only place they've gone is downtown. I wish people would realize that LA is so big that there are many diverse cities within it. Those are my two cents...
NY is home to the mecca of cutting edge culture in the US. Probably a love it or hate it lifestyle though. Fast to one is hard to another.
Cali's is nice. Lot's of sunshine, beautiful year round, and forgiving marijuanna laws. Only reasons I couldn't live there are the ridiculous gun laws in The People's Republic of Kalifornia; which are getting worse. And I prefer hurricanes to earthquakes (you can build a flood proof wind proof building, but regardless the size, if it;s sitting on the ground, it can be an EQ's bitch).
But I am guessing if you did a poll across America, most people (outside of Texas that is) will tell you Cali would be their choice. Especially if money was no object (adjusted $/std of living). I don't think many would complain too much about living in southern california if they had the means to do so comfortably.
It's just for me, Texas has it all. So huge and diverse, in terms of people, culture, climate and in geography, everything is represented- mountains, plains, deserts to subtropical climates. Mild winters in the south, but it snows in the north (though we had a white christmas not too long ago even here in houston!) and hot summers most everywhere, but in some places, summer nights get down to the 60's!
Houston, Dallas, Austin, San Antonio; texas landscapes, nasa, waterfalls, the bat caves, the alamo, the riverwalk, the schlitterbaun in new braunsfels, lots of beaches.
MUSIC: Austin has more music venues per capita than any other city in the nation.
ART: Houston Theater District second only to NY for live performances; permanent companies in professional opera, ballet, and symphony; dozens of major natural science, historical, and art museums.
SPORTS: at least two pro teams in every major sport; and college and HS football is out of CONTROL. Top 5 town for mountain biking. so many rivers. so many golf courses.
SCHOOLS: world class universities in Tx A&M, UH, and UT; elite of the elite in Rice University (highest % of merit scholars in the nation)
WOMEN: maybe not as many tanned, botoxed, whitened and tightened movie stars, but if you like down home fat bottomed girls, we have lots of 'em.
Number 6 largest ship port in the WORLD. Number 2 ranked airport (US); #1 shipping airport in the WORLD (ranked by cargo shippers). Buses and big city public transport are not that great though. You generally need wheels in TX. Though that is kind of my favorites actually- the highways. I'm glad you posted this, because thinking about it, when I get off work in the morning, I want to roll one and roll OUT. Enjoy some beautiful Texas landscapes rolling down hwy 59!
Nevada never closes, New York City's got bright lights
But there's nothing quite like texas on a Saturday Night.
I'm glad you guys love where you live too!
just a city boy, born and raised in south detroit
meh i dunno ive only ever been to LA... even tho i sang the song i wouldnt move to detroit at the moment since the mayor is a fucktard.... but i go there every year and love it :D
shoi took the midnight train going anywheeeeere
I've never been to either place, but I've allways wanted to go to NYC. CA would be cool, but it's just too damn far away. The cost of a trip to LA would cost me more to go to bermuda. By far. I'm sure both places are awesome though or so many people wouln't live there.
