[MoonGoodandHappy]

You have to choose between living in Paris or Los Angeles for the rest of your life, which city would you choose ?

 

Paris ? 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Los Angeles ?

 

 

 

 

 

 

Paris is so much better, i would choose Paris without any hesitation

Probably Paris. LA seems nice to visit, but I don't know about living tbh. I would feel overwhelmed ngl

[Oxy]

Where I’m living is similar to LA so a change in scenery like Paris is better. 

[Brando]

I think Paris is a no brainer here. New York or San Fran would have been a better match up 

[Trent W]

LA is ugly, so probably Paris.

 

But not too excited about Paris, never been there as a non-tourist, I’m basically just choosing it because LA sucks to live there.

[EtherealCat]

im not living in los angeles its hideous, has boring weather and i might die in an earthquake 

[LeMésTragique]

LA has no redeeming qualities, so Paris.

[DUA LIPA]

Paris 

 

i hate driving so i'd never stay in LA for longer than a month week

I've heard awful things about Paris and their people, so probably L.A.

[coolblue]

Paris because climate their is cold all year round? Besides lean hot french men everywhere 

[nadiamendell]

Paris is an actual city. LA is a bunch of suburbs slammed together with no thought or planning put into it and public transportation SUCKS. You have to drive everywhere. Traffic and pollution is awful. Easily one of my least favorite cities. The only thing it has going for it is the beaches.

 

This is a better representation of LA than the photos in the OP:

Is LA even worth visiting? I'm asking as european so take into account the time to get there. Like what is there to see??? 

I would say Paris, but tbh I only need 3 hours to get there with TGV or EC, so I don't really have to live there. It's very bussy and touristy

[Pop culture]

LA has nice weather, but you have to sit in traffic for 2 hours to go anywhere, and the NIMBYs keep on opposing the Metro expansions

[Proseductice]

Both are completely overrated. 

 

LA is overcrowded, dirty, and fake. France in general scares me as a black person. 

[GentleEarthquake]

Paris

[Jaguarqueef]

Paris, simply because Los Angelos is on a fault line in a drought prone area where water access is being poorly rationed.

 

now NYC vs Paris?? I’m taking NYC every time.

You have the beaches, the mountains and Hollywood, but expect to sit in traffic getting to any of those places. Hollywood is dirty and Hollywood Boulevard (where you'll find the Hollywood Walk of Fame) is full of addicts and people with mental health issues because the city/America has no solution so it's awful. Last time I was there there was a homeless man with his pants down around his knees with his d*ck out shouting some nonsense.  I was really disappointed in the whole experience.

Now this is a good question, nyc but the prices has to go down

[Swirl900]

I'm assuming you mean metro area? Los Angeles given my current circumstances. Westwood or Malibu would be cute. Parisians are some of the rudest people especially toward non native French speakers and it would be harder to find a job. Maybe my answer would be different if I were French.

 

Ofc as the posters above me mentioned NYC>>>>>>>>

[Johnny Jacobs]

Neither 

 

Both overrated and not it

[Troll Idle]

Paris. The people there are sexually very open

[katykater]

No hot weather, earthquake, drought, water shortage, high rent that makes earning 150k dollar per year feel poor,...

 

Paris has more liveable weather, mass transit that makes living in the suburbs without having to drive possible.

 

The biggest infrastructure project in Europe.

 

 

Adding 200km of metro lines and there will be a train every 2 or 3 minutes.

 

I have driven in Parisian traffic and they don't care about knocking a mirror of a car, pushing the other cars to make room at a parking spot,...

 

The state is shielding the people from the big risks in life like how hospital bills could bankrupt American households.

 

I would have to work on my French. I wasn't good at that in school.

[flower moon]

LA is one of the worst cities in the world

[Robert]

Wouldn’t choose either in all honestly but LA if I had to.

[Jotham]

Los Angeles definitely. I lived there during college and it's my dream to move back there someday since it's such a beautiful city with lots of things to do. People who sas it's "fake" or "overrated" just don't know the right places to go to. 

 

I've never been to Paris but I want to, but it would be very difficult for me to live there since I don't speak French.
