Los Angeles booming creative class lures new yorkers. Does this settle LA> NYC

i dont think it has anything to do with the culture rather that the culture exploded because of the amount of migrants... i think you could say across any profession or whatever indivualized grouping of people you want to describe that generally theyre moving to warmer climates.... ANYWHERE in Cali not jus LA... 

Austin Texas

Charlotte NC

Miami FL

Atlanta GA

any major city warmer than the east/midwest millenials are gone hahah we relaize life is short, not tryna be stuck in the crib because of a snowstorm

This

People move in then realize its hard so they leave unless their parents have money. Females in their 30s if they dont settle down leave because its hard to keep a man with the options out here.

I really want to see how the gentrification in Brooklyn and upcoming in the Bronx changes the city.

I have seen people talk about how much of the gentrification in NYC is an illusion. More so that they are building and or raising the prices for everythkng but nobody is moving into these new developments in large numbers because only a small number can afford them. Like hipsters living 3 deep in a studio is keeping many high dollar spots vacant along with other people being priced out the city, thus there ppl who think NYC will see a real estate bubble burst.
 
The interesting thing about this to me is that I know a lot of people that have moved from NY to LA recently.

And the LARGE majority of them are not native (born and raised) New Yorkers.

They are people that moved to NY after college and then moved on to LA.

And find LA's lifestyle suits them better. Which makes sense.

The native NYers I know that have been "priced out" of NY have gone to Miami, other cities in FL or just somewhere down south.

The cost of living in NYC and SF are INSANELY higher than LA and Chicago, its to the point where its almost comical. A 60k salary with a car note sub 400 bucks and sub 500 dollar student loan debt is doable in Chicago and LA, yet in SF and NYC you are on a shoestring budget if not just a step above low income.
 
Yep.

I think people are still caught up in the "if you can make it there, you can make it, anywhere" mystique of NY.

But if you come from a suburban area in Virginia, where you had quality square footage, then realize you have to bust your *** to share a matchbox with your old frat bro, you might not stick around for the long haul.

There were 2 people who used to work in my office in NY. Dude from Virgina. Girl from Baltimore. Got together. Had kids. Moved to LA.

I think those numbers can be a bit skewed if you take into account that some of those people moving from NY to LA may are not actually native NYers.

Meanwhile, my wife and I are native NYers. Had kids. Bought a 3 bedroom in BK. And wouldn't change a thing.

I'll still take the subway over driving every day.

And I'll respectfully disagree with food and scenery being better in LA. Different I would accept. But certainly not better.

Weather maybe, but I like the snow. "That which does not kill us......"

But it's all good. I like NY more than LA. Some people like LA more than NY. I'm in LA often and always love my time there.

What is so fascinating is how much non NYers talk (usually not in a positve fashion) about NY :lol:

Proved my point. Most move to NYC find how difficult it is and move out then it's **** NYC. It's been this way since the 90's now nothing new. Weren't new yorkers to begin with they just claim it for the "cred" or whatever. And I agree with you that dude was wilding talking about food and scenery is better in la. Na nyc architecture >>>> NYC food >>>>

Man I want to live in LA so bad. It's so saturated for pharmacists though, it's really hard to get in. Straight off NYC. Y'all can keep that cold, dirty, overpriced place. I live in Chicago now, NYC basically Chicago on steroids and dirtier.

It seems like the determining factor between one city or the other for a lot of people is whether or not you have to wear a coat :lol:

I lived in Miami for 3 years and couldn't wait to get the **** out of there. I don't think the summers are as bad in LA though.

Just not into driving every day at all. I have a car but I subway 90% of the time.

If I went anywhere else it would probably be Chicago or SF because they actually have functional public transportation.

La!

I may give you guys the "food" but scenery and climate we got y'all beat by miles. We have the mountains deserts etc. y'all have a subway a dirty river and your views or alley ways and neighbors I'm good. Give me a crib in the mountains with amazing views instead of a bum pissing in the alley

LA is where its at due to being the center of the entertainment industry

I started my own tech and design business around 2.5 years ago...answering craigslist ads and hitting up radiokorea

In just 2.5 years I have an office off of rodeo drive and another above flightclub on fairfax and rosewood along with 2 employees.

My boys from NBCK just started a mural company, already put in work with walldogs and just branched off on their own.

The industries that thrive in the city and the amount of area LA county encompasses make it the best place in the entire US for an entrepreneur 

I'm eating

Any NTer can hit me up if they are near UCLA, My company manages the payroll/security/credit card processing systems at Gypsy Cafe on Broxton near the theatres.

Free food, drinks, and hookah if you holla.

Work in a hotel fam 100% of the time ya city getting bashed by everyone sorry I get you grew up there and got accustomed to the piss in smell in the air same as I've gotten accustomed to the smog but no one loves your city but you sorry
 
See I love driving and hate taking public transportation. I grew up in Phoenix.

Not trying to sit by some of the weirdos on the train or be crammed in like sardines. Did that for a couple months. Straight off public transportation for life. Plus I hate the cold. It affects my quality of life fambs. Like I'm in a crappier mode during winter. You can't shovel sunshine. Summer 2017 I'm moving back to Phoenix (unless somehow I swing a pharmacist job in LA)

I live in LA now and can't stand the traffic. Having to spend an hour just to get to a destination that's only 20 miles away. :smh:
