Is New York City Greater Than Los Angeles?

1. West of Encino Says

   I would say six of one, half dozen of the other. granted, NYC has better broadway shows, pizza and Italian restaurants, and transportation. But we have better Mexican restaurants and hamburger joints.. traffic sucks in both areas, but Los Angeles has better weather in the winter.
   saying that, The sidewalks roll up by 10 pm in LA, but New York Never closes.
   to be honest Both cities are trashy. But since Ive lived here all my life …. I prefer Los Angeles, even though i got my eye on the pacific northwest, MAINLY because of the influx of illegal aliens, that are turning my city into a 3rd world sewer and ruining a once 1st rate school system to a level below Mississippi. if that sounds racist, so be it, but i’ve seen the decline over the last 2 decades.

   I’d go to NYC twelve times before I’d go to LA once.
   LA has nothing to offer compared to NYC, that’s why they call it the greatest city in the world.

   I’ve only been to LA once but live outside of NYC, first off LA is a huge sprawling city, you cant walk it. Venice Beach is polluted and overated.
   What makes NYC so great is the ability to easily navigate the city, walk around everything. Theres so much to do and see, and also 4 other boroughs .I like NYC a lot better than LA but it may just be that im used to NYC

   NYC has character/attitude that LA just doesn’t have.
   Ya’ll are to laid back.

   Just to clarify my take on the question:
   When people ask where to go, I like to add a bit of info about the place. I used to have a long list of just names, totalling about 50 places or so. It’s by choice that I list fewer places. Paris Hilton used to list about 80 or so places in here answer.
   So I don’t think NYC is greater, by any means.
   Yes, NYC is compact, but that’s the way they are. They didn’t have to develop their city with the real threat of earthquakes, according to earthquake codes. So they built UP. We in LA could not build tall building for DECADES. By law, the tallest building in LA was City Hall until the 80’s. So all those tall buildings are less than 30 years old. In the meantime, we built OUT, spreading out like a giant blob on the landscape.
   So NYC is different, but not necessarily better. For example, I hear the east was over 100 degrees this weekend and humid. Here it was in the 70’s. Perfect. Which is better now?

   I live in NYC.
   This Summer i am traveling to LA. I’ve never been to California!
   I am sooooo excited.
   So, it really depends how you look at this question. Where you’re from.

AND IS HAS HOLLYWOOD. AND THE MAYORITY IN MOVIE FILMS ARE MADE HEAR, BUT PUT THE BACKGROUND AS NYC. BUT LA RULES!!
