heymisterk Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I heard a rather pointless argument about this at a bar last week, so I thought I'd turn it into a pointless poll. But it made me think that there are pros and cons to both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rct Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Both cities blow. LA is only a couple hours from at least starting to see the beautiful parts of this country. From here, takes a couple days to do that. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gypsyseven Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I would go for New York. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heymisterk Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 I would go for New York. Me too. My aunt lives in Manhattan and I find the lifestyle pretty addicting. I love being able to walk everywhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
L5Larry Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I've have had the opportunity to spend extensive amounts of time in both these cities, and from a strictly music business and guitar playing perspective it would be New York for me. New York is still the epicenter of the jazz world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jnastynebr Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Im already in NY 2-3 days a week. If my wife didnt work in Waterford, we would have moved to Midtown months ago. LA is too LA for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I've never been to NY but it seems a little too intense for me. I could dig either, but LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Silenced Fred Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I've never been to NY but it seems a little too intense for me. I could dig either, but LA. I'd go with LA just to live near Dub I don't really like NY, but California is stupid as hell. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EVOL! Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 NYC all the way: walking, public transit, art, music, and four seasons. L.A., you can keep your suburban sprawl, having to drive everywhere, and road gridlock. god, I hate driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
awel Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 I never went to NY but went last year in California and Nevada, perhaps for the weather I will say L.A. but for musical life perhaps NY is better I don't know. how is the musical scene in NY?

Dub-T-123 Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 LAs got art and music all over the place but you're right the traffic in some areas is ridiculous. My ideas of New York are all based on Seinfeld. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

L.A., you can keep your suburban sprawl, having to drive everywhere, and road gridlock. god, I hate driving. Public transit is huge + for NY. This is 80% of the reason NY wins over LA in my book. If you live in a city of 5 million+ people, you should not have to drive. Of the countless times I have been in the big apple, I have never operated a car within the city limits of NY. Ive had to drive both times Ive been to LA, and I hate city driving. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jnastynebr Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 Of course anyone that had to suffer through last Winter in NY/New England knows that the weather is a big plus for LA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LPguitarman Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 LA: Better weather. Close to the Rich & Famous movie stars, and when California falls into the sea, I'll be one of the first to go so I won't have to suffer the Rapture... LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
heymisterk Posted May 24, 2011 Author Share Posted May 24, 2011 I love the landscape of Los Angeles, the proximity of Paso Robles - my favorite wine country, the sunshine, the ocean. I hate the traffic, the superficiality of Hollywood mentality, and the idea that I might die in a massive shifting of the earth. I love the public transportation of NYC, all the little neighborhoods and boroughs, the great food joints, and the fact that really, you are in what I consider The City of the World. I hate the fact that a dingy one bedroom apartment in Brooklyn costs more than my three-bedroom house in Ohio. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DeVeeWee Posted May 24, 2011 Share Posted May 24, 2011 If it was San Francisco or New York, my choice would be crystal clear. But LA vs NY, definitely NY! The big apple is so divers, love its park, its thousand neighbourhoods, its musea... its people! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
