Anyone move from NY to Cali?

xtac · 05-11-2009, 10:04 PM

Thinking about moving to cali, I need the sun and I think life would be much better overall based on just the weather. I'm at the point in my life where I could get up and go no problems.

Anyone want to share their experience.

why? cali ain't got shit on LI....besides maybe weather (if you don't like seasons)

honestly....i've been all over the country, there is NO place in the U.S. like here.

I just moved from Boston, MA to Seattle, WA. Overall, I think I made the right move. Better weather, closer to home, nice twisties and elevations, best Chinese food in Vancouver.

for one, it is the most ethnically diverse area in the United States by far.

5-10 minutes to the beach (that alone eliminates most of the country), 30 minutes to the greatest city in the world, 15 min to the mansions of north shore, 1 hr to the tranquility of hamptons...

I think Vegas has something to say about that statement...

do you have proof of that?

5-10 minutes to the beach (that alone eliminates most of the country),

the most populous cities in california are no farther than 30 minutes from the pacific and our beaches far outnumber the ones in new york (there are more coastal cities here than in new york. besides, how often can you enjoy the beach when your average high is 66 degrees? http://www.weather.com/outlook/event...tomnav_wedding)

30 minutes to the greatest city in the world,

thats your opinion

15 min to the mansions of north shore, 1 hr to the tranquility of hamptons...

we have numerous natural parks, our states scenery is immensely more diverse than new yorks and we have the pacific coast highway - one of the most renowned driving roads in the world

just saying

enjoy the Beach for what not even 2 months out of the yr?
I don't think nyc is the greatest city anymore. Have you been to other cities? not much different.
hamptons is overrated, but again 2 months out of the yr.

Most of what you say you will enjoy almost all year around somewhere hot.

I used to think ny was the shit too, but not anymore, especially if you travel around.

by the way, Queens is the most diverse county in the United States, please do yourself a favor and look it up....

one thing that we do have the Cali doesn't though, is much richer culture and history.

we have just as rich of a cultural background as you. of course you guys have longer history that us; new york became a state nearly 100 years before us

i don't see how you can say that....take L.A. for example, which is probably the more diverse of the cities in California......

it was founded much later than NYC and the amount of immigration into L.A. pales in comparison to that of NYC.

wtf? i dont beleive that, but regardless if you do get more immigrants than los angeles, that doesnt mean youre more culturally diverse than us. thats like saying because you have more oranges your orange juice tastes better

Arizona and Texas would both trump California in that department.
