I lived in LA for 3 years, visited all over California. I've lived in NYC for 12 years now. Let me break it down for you in somewhat harsh terms. NY is continental. SF is full of nice lifestyles for wealthy white trash minds. NY sets the style for modern fashion, food, design and style itself. Everyone in NY travels all over, even the the janitors and kids working at McDonalds. In California in general you can feel the uncultured americana ignorance of the masses. People who think that living in New York means you aren't close to natural beauty are just stupid. Fire Island for example is just one of hundreds east cost beaches that pees on any beach in Los Angeles. With no roads and deer running around and shit. It's considered one of the best in the world. You take a very comfortable mass-transit train to get there. Those trains take you to cities all up and down the east coast. And there are mountains, Poconos, Upstate NY all easily accesible. It's cheap to fly in and out of NY to South America, the Carribean and Europe. Then there's the food thing. All the top chefs in the world have pretty much poo-pooed the Cali restaurant scene. Though of course with Napa valley just there, there is a lot of good food but its just not on the same par with the variety and deepness as NY. SF has some of the most incredible natural beauty in the world but if you really want to live and experience a TRULY progressive city that holds onto values of liberty and justice for all there IS NO city that will open your eyes like NY. If you want to hold on to a status quo way of thinking then move to SF. Not only cali but the rest of this country can't even hold a stick to NY for the fairness and no bs
freedom it dolls out on a daily basis. That's what makes NY really the best city in the world and that's what people who don't live here need to know. This place is about being the home of the opportunity for freedom for all. SF society looks provincial in comparison. But maybe that's what you want.
