@marine @PonyPanda @eris @lunarised @p @p No, I've been to New York and it's completely uninhabitable. Smells like garbage *outside* in the winter. That takes some doing.

LA is a delight. The people that say things like you have just said about my hometown (AHEM) tend to fall into one of two categories: people that have never been to Los Angeles, and people that showed up and stayed in Hollywood and then washed up in Santa Monica and then left.

It is fine with me if you keep making this insistence, though: too many shitty transplants show up and stay a few years and leave, but the problem is that they vote while they're here.
