You an expert? You a cop or something? Telling me where I am from or not from. You live in a hickery irrelevant town that prides itself with a downtown called "sundance square" with murals of cows and bulls in the second rate and second fiddle city of Fort Worth and you want to tell me where I have been and where I havent?

Stick to what you know old man, youre starting to cross the line now

So along with not knowing anything about CA climates you also don't know how to read critically. Interesting

Point out where I once said that LA matches NYC. I'm beginning to think you are intoxicated.

Having nyc in your back yard just means so much more than having sf and santa cruz in your back yard. Bridgeport wins on that alone.

Yes as a matter of fact I am an expert. Cop? Not so much. I can tell you're an east coaster, its too easy to see.

Did you just say "hickery"?!?

Probably a lot of "SF"'s on the MBTI personality test, as well as type B personalities. Nothing wrong with that at all, I have many friends who prefer that kind of stuff, I'm just not one of them. All subjective I suppose, I am only opining. I do feel strongly about it however.
Well, you think a person's preference for comfortable weather makes them shallow, so perhaps you do have a problem with it.

It's cool, here in San Jose, we literally invent the technology that propels humanity forward. In New York you guys ruin the economy and decimate the middle class with your bankers and hedge fund managers.

They are not comparable because San Jose is too much larger than Bridgeport. So per capita income, etc. are meaningless. Have you looked at the per capita income in NYC?

Finance is to Bridgeport what tech is to San Jose. Understand? Or should I translate that in Hindi?

Napa and Sonoma are beautiful with the changing of the leaves, but it still isn't 4 seasons... I'd still have a hard time calling it a true autumn...it's mostly a dry/wet

Apparently inflated sense of self worth too...propelling humanity, give yourself a cupcake.

Are people incapable of actually comparing the two cities? Anybody with a brain realizes that San Jose > Bridgeport.
