There is more to do in Midtown Manhattan than the entire Bay Area. How many times can you climb up a rock to nowhere?

I love the East Coast for many reasons but its god awful, ghastly climate is most definitely NOT one of them.

Sorry, this is not a topic most unbiased persons would award to Bridgeport.

Not especially after that hideous snow and ice storm that just blew threw there and in the exact same day San Jose was pushing 80.

Until that happens, your monotonous weather speaks of how bland and boring your climate is, makes it even worse when Californians go on and on about their weather trying to make others care about it as much as they do

Do you just enjoy having no idea what you're talking about? The only city your uneducated diatribe even remotely applies to is SF.

Why is every poster with New York in their screename on CityData such a caricature of overly boastful New Yorkers...

We can afford to be overly boastful.

So are we comparing San Jose to Midtown Manhattan or Bridgeport, CT?

Rock to nowhere? What do people not go hiking or climbing on the East Coast?

Right because people are making snowmen during winter in LA, people are driving their Bentley's through a street lining trees with the colors of autumn, because LA has pollen and blossoming flowers at the start of spring and the precipitation to match, because LA apparently has four seasons, right?

None of the big California cities can give you a perfect four season climate, go and educate yourself on your states weather, you clearly dont get out much then again being on the computer seems to be what people in the bay spend most their time doing

I will say this one time, there isnt anything wrong with SJ, it looks like a good place (and safe) to raise a family, your children will thank you one day for having a family in a peaceful place, but dont compare it to NYC metro, its leagues and bounds ahead of SJ and SF Bay
