NYC. Circumstances will have to be pretty different (such as a prince's life in LA vs a pauper's in NYC) for me to pick LA over NYC. Except after a few weeks of winter.
I'd rather live in a city than suburb for starters!
I really like Los Angeles. It's beaches are better than New York's and more vibrant, it's winters are better, and it has fantastic Mexican food (which is non-existent in NYC), but New York just has about everything else beat.
Hands down I take The Big Apple because it's just an amazing place!
4. LA's skyline is hideous. High city-views look are much more impressive than the boring LA views. of either (1) dry canyons or (2) the ugly skyline or (3) sprawl.
5. You obviously know nothing about colleges (but by reading this, I'm not surprised). LA doesn't have top colleges. LA is a very uneducated area. Most of the top schools are around New York. There is no Ivy League universities in Los Angeles. NYC has an Ivy League College aka Columbia University. NYU is also above UCLA. Other colleges around are Yale, Princeton, Harvard, MIT, Dartmouth, Brown. UC Davis? UC San Diego? Whattt? Was that a joke? LMAO.
6. NYC is for rich people, normal people and celebrities to live..since half of them do. (who cares about them, anyway?).
7. Illegal aliens are the only things known in Los Angeles.
Look, I know this poster isn't even a member anymore but some coments simply cannot go unanswered.
4) Dry canyons are ugly? I can't imagine what you must think of the Grand Canyon I think you're jealous that Los Angeles is topographically interesting.
5) There are not Ivy League schools in Los Angeles because they are an east coast-only league, and simply having that label does not make it superior to other schools. L.A. doesn't have top colleges? Are you serious? Ever heard of CalTech (it's rated higher than Columbia)? And FYI, USC and UCLA are actually both ranked higher than NYU. Not to mention Pepperdine, Loyola Marymount, and numerous specialty and liberal arts schools. And I almost **** my pants when you tried to claim Yale, Princeton, MIT, Harvard, Dartmouth, and Brown as NYC schools.
6) L.A. also rich people, middle class, and celebrities. That post proved nothing.

Everything else is subjective of course: scenery, people, weather but when it comes to crime the stats are clearly in New York's favor. I do not need to hear a story how the stats are skewed because of..... Statistically new York is safer then LA and and other big city ion America for that matter.
