New York Is Better Than LA
LA feels like I'm dying inside, maybe it's NYC diversity

Re: New York Is Better Than LA
The palm trees in Los Angeles are not indigenous to the region, either. See Ben Hecht for inspiration.

Re: New York Is Better Than LA
I love New York City. Been visiting every year, multiple times per year for decades. no way, LA holds a candle... except for the weather. that's a huge + for LA, if you can breathe.

Re: New York Is Better Than LA
Why doesn't Apple, Amazon or Netflix just buy up the 4 big NYC film studios?
Kaufman-Astoria, Steiner Studios, Silver Cup Studios, and Broadway Stages |

Re: New York Is Better Than LA
I might get gangbanged for saying this but LA is mostly a shithole (with a few nice pockets). The city has become unlivable for the average joe with a family. I can see the appeal if you're rich or are becoming rich working there but otherwise it's not worth what it costs. If I was that rich I'd still move somewhere else anyway. Maybe have a dinky condo there on the side for work.
I would love to see NY someday. |

Re: New York Is Better Than LA
As a native New Yorker who grew up there, but now lives out of state, and who knows the real estate market in NYC pretty well, I can say with confidence that NYC is out of the reach of most save for millionaires.
Back in 2008, my daughter rented a studio apartment in Park Slope, Brooklyn for $1650/month. Now she spends the same for a house in Los Feliz, with off-street parking and yard. |

Re: New York Is Better Than LA
It's a back house, so her landlords (the owners) live in the front house. She's been living there for around four years. Rent hasn't changed since she moved there. And though it's a small house, she has a bedroom, living room, kitchen and laundry room. And a driveway for her car.

Re: New York Is Better Than LA
Sounds like a cool set up then. Good for her.
I like poking around on the realtor.com app. Having looked at rents in Los Feliz (whether apartment or house), it appears that she got an insanely good deal. |

Re: New York Is Better Than LA
Strongly disagree. New York is even more crowded than L.A. with more people and less space.
