I am living in LA for a few months for work and I have to say it is great. I used to come here for work a lot and those trips were always the same and kind of boring. Most of the time it was with fellow New Yorkers who would ***** about LA, and whine about how much better NY was.
Its just not true I have been living here in a rented house for a month and in spite of the rain it has been great. People here are far more friendly, approachable and generally much more polite, the weather is better and I see more Porsches in one day than I do in a month in NYC. The 2 bedroom house with garden and garage plus off street parking that I'm staying in costs the same as our 600sq ft 'loft' in a grimy but supposedly hip NYC neighborhood, there are great restaurants here, Real Food Daily & AOC among many others good cinemas, and lots of quality art MOCA and the Getty, and I don't think if I left the Porsche on a meter it would get keyed or kicked.
I'm seriously trying to figure out how I can get the lady to put away her NYC prejudice pack up the apt and move out here.
