Hello all! Im currently living in NYC, Im originally from Tennessee. While I DO like NY, I feel I may like LA more. While Ive never been, I do plan to visit later this year. Before I came to NYC I thought it was perfect and I would love it forever. Well, now I see the problems it has, and my own personal problems with it. So tell me honestly guys, what are LA's problems? Both the main problems of the city, and personally what you dont like about it. Please dont think Im bashing on LA, its not like Im saying "NYC is God's gift to the earth and LA sucks!" Thanks all!

buT IF YOU LIVE IN ny OR chICAGO, YOU CAN'T GO MOUNTAIN BIKING, SURFING, SKIING, PLAY BEACH VOLLEYBALL, AS EASILY PLUS THE WEATHER SUCKS IN CHICAGO 9 MONTHS OF THE YEAR AND SUCKS IN NY FOR LIKE 6 MONTHS OF THE YEAR.!!!!!!!!!!

SILVERLAKE, you can do everything you listed in NYC. We can go to the:
Opera
Museum-NYC was founded in 1624
Symphony
Fashion Shows-Probably more than LA
Industry Parties-we have actors and singers like Beyonce and Young Jeezy
Ride Subways-NYC DEFINITELY has more
Live in Skyscrapers-NYC has the most
Hoods-not something to be proud of but NYC has worse hoods(South Bronx, Bed-Stuy, Jamaica in Queens, Harlem)
Mounatain Biking-15 miles north of NYC(Hudson River Valley)
Surfing-We have surfers in NYC and a TON on Long Island and they talk normal
Skiing-15 miles north of NYC(Hudson River Valley)
Play Beach Volleyball-Volleyball's for wussies. New York's a big hockey and football state

Who cares what they're known for. NYC's known for Rap, but Atlanta is trying to take that away. NY has a TON of surfers. We have Long Island and Lake Erie and Lake Ontario get pretty wavy too. We have a lot of lakes and a lot of ocean space. Long Island may look small but stretch the coastline of it into one straight line and see how much of a coastline there is. NY is also 7th for the most water area in the country. NY's water area is 7,342.22 sq. mi. and California's water area is 7,736.23 sq. mi.

Camping is in NY. This is Letchworth State Park near Buffalo, NY, where a lot of people camp. THE GRAND CANYON OF THE EAST!!!!

And we have 2500 foot slopes in the Adirondacks. I think they're even taller. But this thread isn't about NY so I'll shut up.

Letchworth is like a 7.5 hour drive from NYC. And I know NYC isn't known for the great outdoors because it's a city with over 8 million residents.

mid town, you cant even try to compare the outdoor activities in NY to LA. you just cant. skiing in the hudson valley is not the same as boarding down a 2500 foot vertical 10,000 feet above LA. Surfing a 1 foot wave is not the same as going through a barrel at 10 feet. Camping in the mountains is not the same as a bum in central park pitching a tent, etc.. I dont know why it got to this, and i dont know why people respond to Silverlake. You dont have to respond, you can let it go.

They aren't 1 foot waves. Trust me. I've seen waves that were probaly bigger than 10 feet with some people surfing on them. They're crazy!!!!!

No, they talk normal. I'm 15 so I know a lot of people from school who surf and skateboard and my friend is a surfer and skateboarder and he talks normal. And besides, New Englanders are the ones who say watta.

New York is second in the country for geographic features. It goes from the coastal cliffs of Long Island, to the hilly Hudson River Valley, to the Catskill Mountains, north to the plataeu Albany is on, north to the Adirondack Mountains with TONS of lakes, north to Lake Champlain's lowlands, west to Thousand Islands Seaway by Lake Ontario in the St. Lawrence River, southwest to the Erie-Ontario Lowlands, to the Finger Lakes where grapes for wine are grown, to the rolling hills of western NY, to the beaches of Lake Ontario and Lake Erie, to Letchworth State Park. New York is home to some of the most scenic roads in the country. And that's a fact. New York won an award or something for the best scenic roads in the country. Take a drive along the Hudson River and go through the town of Sleepy Hollow where the movie took place in the Fall, take a drive through the Adirondacks in the Winter with snow-covered pine trees and frozen lakes, take a drive along the Long Island coast in the Summer and watch the sunset and surfers, and take a drive in western NY in Spring and go to Letchworth and the Finger Lakes. NY is an AWESOME state.

New York is second? Do you have a source for that statement? Plenty of states own New York in terms of natural beauty: California, Alaska, Hawaii, Utah, Arizona, Colorado, Montana, Oregon, South Dakota, Wyoming, New Mexico, Washington, Nevada, Texas, and so on.

California is the only state that beats NY. 15 miles north of NYC in the Hudson River Valley won an award for best scenery in the Fall. We're talking about features. NY has flatness on Long Island, coastal cliffs and beaches on Long Island, small mountains in the Hudson River Valley, the Catskill Mountains, the SNOW-CAPPED and the oldest forest in the world and a long time ago the tallest mountains in the world called the Adirondack Mountains, the Finger Lakes with nice hills in the background, the Great Lakes with nice sunsets and beaches, Niagara Falls, the rolling hills of WNY, and Thousand Islands Seaway, and thousands of lakes in the Adirondacks. Also, in WNY, there's a place that used to be underwater a long time ago, but it's not anymore, there's like 100 foot boulders with seashells stuck in them and fossils. You can still see the lines from the water on the boulders and even the plants look wierd. You can't tell me NY isn't a beautiful state because it is the most beautiful state next to California. CA is the only state I would put above NY for beauty even though NY won an award for best scenic roads.

Maine? It's nice but I wouldn't compare it to California, New York, Hawaii, or Washington.

The Hudson River Valley in NY was voted most beautiful place in the U.S. during the Fall. Also, my cousins live in southern Maine, so I'll have to take a trip up to Acadia someday. It looks really nice.
