To the genius who called me a high school student I graduated high school 10 years ago graduated college and moved to LA in 2008. Clearly you're impressed with yourself and think your an intellectual but not intellectual enough to read properly. I didn't bother reading your post because it's irrelevant but let me ask you this if u could afford to live on three acres in the Palisades or three acres in Newton your telling me you would actually pick Newton? Honestly I think it shows different people like different things I like to golf,surf go to sports games hit the bars and clubs all year round and you seem like the type who bird watches and to the guy who now lives in Brazil I'm sure your dieing to leave Brazil and come back to Boston in the dead of January right ????
It's okay to like and prefer different things. Just because you like Los Angeles doesn't mean everyone else has to or will like it, too.

Point taken I just want to point out the whole message was actually directed at the guy who wrote the second response to my original post I only mentioned the Brazil thing as a joke you were not the one who called me a high school student. I just thought saying no one should regard my opinion because I'm a high school student when I'm not was kindve a pompous thing to say and i just gave a blunt response back. You seem like a knowledgeable person about both areas and stated your opinion in a respectful way so I just wanted to apologize if u thought that was intended for you. Look truthfully I respect the industries and academia in Boston and despite my comments about weather what I hated about growing up was the whole M******* mentality which was prevalent in the area I grew up and I always found it extremely uninviting because my family is all from the west coast and the only reason I grew up there was my dad's job. Bottom line I love it out here and would encourage every young person if they can to at some point experience LA
I grew up in Wakefield and Lynnfield which are nice areas but we were one of the few transplants and it was tough to break in to the social circles because most people had known each other there whole lives and weren't extremely interested in meeting new people

What age did you move there? Again, just curious.
I can kind of empathize with you. While I have lived in the Boston area my whole life, I moved around a lot when I was young, and I definitely ran into a lot of the friends-since-birth types. What saved me, I think, was that eventually I ended up in the city where there were a lot of transplant/immigrant kids who were more open to making new friends. It also helped that I had a lot of family in the area.
It can definitely be hard for people traveling long distances too. I have a friend who had to relocate from Boston to Houston when he was in middle school because of his fathers job, and I think he experienced some similar problems.
I moved there when I was 8 and stayed till high school graduation. I just find in general here in LA the culture is more inclusive and open to new people in fact when I first moved to my first apartment in Manhattan beach out of college everyone who lived near me made a point to be welcoming and get to know me. Growing up I had a small group of like 5 friends but now as a 28 year old it amazes me the amount of friends I've made in the 6 years I've lived here. Somewhat of a different note the same can be said for my parents who moved from Lynnfield to Scottsdale Az

I find ardent people of Northeastern cities, particularly Boston and NYC, to be obnoxious and cocky about how their cities are superior to all others in the U.S. Yeah, it's not all Bostonians that do this, but a large sum, perhaps majority does this. I've been to Boston, and it's a nice city, clean, big, and the airport is literally right next to downtown, but LA just seems to have more to offer. LA has warmer weather year round, has better restaurants (sorry Boston), is MUCH more diverse, and tends to have nicer people. Boston, has many people alike to those you'd find in New york. You know, the Nuuu Yoook type people who shout across the street, and personally, frankly, I just find that to be obnoxious.
