I moved from London to NYC, and I've been to LA a bunch and here's my opinion.
I think New York is amazing, the more I'm here the more I see opportunity in it. I know it's 'not the place it was' but it's still an adventure and still exciting. It's hard fucking work though and the more I'm here the more I want to buy a place upstate and do that kind of thing as well as being in Brooklyn.
I love LA and think you could have a great quality of life there if you have kids, or want more space and like good weather. The only thing with LA would be that there might not be the turnover of opportunity that there is in New York (unless you work around the film / entertainment industry), but i'd imagine starting your own shop there would be amazing if you could make it pay. Of ir you wanted to do anything that requires a lot of space, it'd be the place to be.
Moving to LA is out for me as my wife wouldn;t be into it but i can imagine that unless you know a lot of people it could get quite lonely. We've got great friends in New York and I realize that good friends = good quality of life.
