LA vs. NYC: Which is Better?
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 16 ก.ย. 2018
- It's great to be back in Los Angeles, California! I'm here for a long layover -- visiting friends, and applying for a 6-month multiple entry visa to Thailand (fingers crossed I get it!)
Anyways, L.A. is the second biggest city in the U.S. and it represents the entire West Coast. Whenever I'm here, I cannot help but compare it to America's biggest city, New York, which represents the East Coast.
While both LA & NYC are big, cosmopolitan and diverse -- they are different in just about every way possible. Find out why in this video.
I'd love to get your thoughts - Which do you enjoy better - LA or NYC? Do you agree or disagree with my points? Comment below!

You know a city is successful when it has tons of free loaders. There not homeless there free loaders that use the city as there walls.
@@trollrat2828 Most of the people migrate there for the free money from rich people. They come from the outside of the city where its harder to get free handouts.
As a non American tourist, NY for me. It really felt like I arrived to America. The culture the smell the music the food the history.... it is more unique.
have u been to LA as well??

Lmao in New York u gotta pay for oxygen
There’s more smog in LA from all those cars. We have less pollution and more people in the city while you have less people with more pollution.
LOLL
XD
There is no oxygen, in NYC you constantly smell food lol
This joke makes more sense now
LA was created in 1786,but it only became popular in 1900s.
Zap rap It was actually founded September 4 1781
Younger than Sydney where I from but grew faster and better
Zap Rap perhaps if it grew much more rapidly before the 1900s LA would be more like NYC considering it would’ve been planned much denser since there were no cars
Here's my anecdote:
My friend lived in NYC for 5 years. He had very modest success as an entrepreneur, making close to 6 figures. He also had below average credit. During his time in Manhattan, the best living situation he could achieve was a rundown studio apartment shared with another person who was often out of town. Prior to that, he suffered through places with rat infestations, small apartments with multiple roommates, and due to his less than stellar credit, he often paid over 10k just to move into places. He was impressed and motivated by the skyscrapers, culture, wealth and women, but he often described his quality of life as "shit."
Since moving to LA, he got a really nice one bedroom apartment in West Hollywood (prime area); living alone. He did this with the same income and credit. He describes the move as "an upgrade." He's still surrounded by wealth, culture, and beautiful women, but no skyscrapers. The lackluster architecture doesn't bother him because he loves LA's weather and the landscape (hiking in the hills/canyons, and going to the beach). He swears he's never going back to NYC, though he appreciates going through the challenge of living there.
True story
Quality of life can be better in LA.
The mistake ppl often make in ny is they live in Manhattan. That's the first mistake😂
Thanks for sharing
Why tf would they choose Manhattan? 😂😂

Drew was spot on. NY a place to visit. L A is where you should live.
love your channel , keep up the good work
Great summary !!
There are about 800 different languages spoken and represented in New York you just can’t beat the history. Also, NY is way more than just Manhattan! Step into Brooklyn or Queens and you’ll find some of the most diverse neighborhoods in the world all within a few blocks of each other. Yeah New Yorkers are stereotypically seen as “cold” and “impatient” but they just know how to make it in one of the busiest and toughest places in the world. When they do need to though they come together like nobody else can. The city after 9/11 truly healed itself because of the people and the NY spirit. It’s a city incomparable to any other love NY so much.
NY all day
Come on.
Stop soliciting.
NYC is great if you're a humorless top school graduate hyper-competitive workaholic or rich kid. Sure, a wide variety of people live there, but if you're a middleclass transplant, your social options are more those types of people, not the recent immigrants from China that live all the way out in Flushing or various other recent immigrant ethnic groups in Queens. It's not convenient going out that way. In day to day life as someone working there in a full time job, you are surrounded by the very serious, career/status obsessed yuppies and almost everything seems oriented towards them in Manhattan until you go north of the UES.
Thats my girl.

Well first time visiting the US myself in April this year, I took Boston, MA over those two. Feels more American and you gotta love the city that first rebelled.
Agreed!
Boston is the best.
Fuck boston
I am from L.A but boston is the best city in the US
It is better to live LA because it has many things and relax.keep going brother never stop this job many people will get information about every country in whole world but I am in somaliland hargaisa you came hargaisa and I watched every video you posted.
Zamiir Omer new york is better. There are definitely a shit load of opportunities here. In LA everything is about influencing and making money. You will not find happiness nor real friends. You wont even find someone with a real face since everybody seems to get things done there. In Ny the demeanor is real the aura of people is natural.
Is sundrenced huge and tempting
Longer videos please Drew!
Both are awesome!
New York..
New York is a place only certain people can truly enjoy, including me
No matter what, we will always support u Drew Brinsky
La forever, love your videos mann keep it up
Cant choose between them, love both 😖
NYC ofc!
I've been to both cities. And as a tourist: In NYC, ANYWHERE IS ACCESSIBLE since everything is either walkable or a metro away from your destination. And in LA, FUN IS CATERED IN ALL AGES since amusement parks and beaches are everywhere.
Short videos is the good one for saving time
I want to live in Los Angeles. Hopefully my dream comes true.
work hard and let God lead the way.
Me too man
@@alibarazi286 As an American with immigrant parents, I highly recommend you to move somewhere else than the US...

@@hazyviews999 y though ?
Elite_ Aditya where do I even start lmao. The highest taxes in America are in Cali, the sidewalks of MAJOr cities like San Fran have human shit littered all over them. The homeless population is through the roof and it looks like Venezuela. Except for the million dollar home neighborhoods. Those are fine. But if you’re not in a gated community count the days before some scumbag pussy steals your car radio or smashes your houses windows out. Should I go on?
@@hazyviews999 shut up Chinese.get out from here
So honest review
Finally a more interesting topic like
I live in LA and i love my city but i like NYC better. i feel so alive when i'm there which sadly isn't often.
I love four seasons! NYC please get me from this hellhole :( but LA is really much beautiful and worthy to live in. Not crowded and that sunset is very captivating
omg 2 years ago everyonr was saying how come you just have like 2000 K vieuwers, and now look how far you have come💪😃.
happy for You, love your channel.
This is like a compare and contrast presentation for school
Well I was born in NJ I grew in NYC my parents went to LA in 1996 I wasn't born yet they lived in NY for 20 years I love NYC. New York City is better One World Trade Center, the tallest building in America The Empire State, the most famous building in the world Times Square, the world’s most visited tourist attraction The Chrysler Building, an icon from the 1900s World Trade Center
Empire State Building
Rockefeller Center
Times Square
Central Park
Charging Bull
Wall Street
Chrysler Building
Unisphere
Brooklyn Bridge
Subway and Trains
I see..bt it is freaking expensive!!
You know you dont have to live in nyc to go there right??
Don’t see any mountain and beach on that list 😂😂😂
Drew i am from india , i love your videos , they are very interesting , but can you make a video on your budjet,the amount you have spent till date and the most expensive country in your opinion waiting for your reply , reply as soon as possible
I think your style is perfect. I like the scripted videos. They are very informative and fun to watch. Keep up the good work. I don’t think you should change your style of videos at all.
Hi drew this comment is to tell you that you are the best youtuber ever and to be honest you are actually great and positive ....
Although both L.A. and N.Y.C. both are very diverse, New York represents more groups. New York is that place where busy business people stay, whereas L.A. is where retired and laid back people stay.
LA has way more to do. And if you include everything built off of it from Orange County, Ventura, Riverside and San Bernardino Counties, there are endless things to do. I was raised at the foothills of Big Bear mountain before they developed the houses, so it was fun being a Chaparral Kid roaming the Orange Groves doing desert things and then having the Mountains 30 minutes a away and the beach about an Hour away.
When I visited New York, I definitely didn't want to stay too long.
What are you on? LA is boring and not even a real city
@@Noobmaster-kf1hb did you get plowed in la or what? Lol
I watched your video to learn English. Thanks for this!
I love both! Even if i've never been there before! I'm just a local teenage freelance actor in singapore, but i'll say L.A.
I like places with seasons so I think I'd prefer NY
Drew do you read our advice or not!? Longer videos please.
Maz Islam of course he doesn't read our advice and than complains about it
leave him alone. He just uploaded 2 videos within an hour. Is that not enough. Be grateful and stop being an arrogant pleb 😒

U are so amazing. I don't know why are u not getting views
I love your video. It's an interesting video. I've been to NYC and LA once. Both of them are cool cities. I think NYC is a modern city. And LA is an Art city. After watching, probably I'll visit both of them again.
Even a small town of usa is best from my whole country

Ugh i feel you life is hard in developing countries
@@attacktitan703 in some of them yes
New York is fun for visiting and Los Angeles is great for living.
I lived in LA for years. Lots of cool things to do there.
I have been to both and I have to say I can’t pick! I live near New York City so I go there often and I have only been to LA once but both places are so cool!
As a native New Yorker it's hard for me to even consider LA a city

Keep vlogging. Say hi Drew 😁👋
Each city has a different atmosphere and you made it clear with a perfect comparison. I agree with you, I would visit NYC as a visitor and LAX for living. I have been to the big cities for doing business some 20 years ago, but now have a plan to visit US to visit the cities with background on the music such as Rock n Roll and Jazz. New Orleans is a must and if possible during the next Jazz festival in March 2019. I'm free and would be able to travel anytime anywhere now. I'm now living in Seoul. Enjoy watching your video very much.
You must love living with homeless
I think New York is a better city for people who love modern and convenient life, and Los Angeles is better for people who wanna have a more laid back and relaxed life.
1:37 is that rasist?
They both have there cons and pros it’s nearly impossible-to know which ones better it’s all opinion.
Hello Drew. Everybody wanting longer videos. But i like shorter videos. Have a great day.
Hey friend, I really enjoy your videos and how you live by the goal of spreading the knowledge of foreign places to others. You are definitely one of the most passionate and genuine content creators I have seen.
May i make a suggestion? Instead of making 2-4 minute shortish videos how about you make more vlog like videos around 10 minutes long? Less of the script and more of your genuine experiences in these countries, I would gladly sit down for 10ish 15ish minutes to just enjoy you videos. But I’m not saying to get rid of the shorter videos necessarily. I would love to see your personal interactions and experiences in other countries. For example you can include segments that don’t have a heavy script and are more easy going. Like conversations your found interesting and different, I would have enjoyed listening to that taxi/uber driver comparing and contrasting the U.S. with his home country a little bit more. I would enjoy you walking around a market, looking at exotic goods you can’t get anywhere else, bartering, how you interact with other and how they interact with each other and the general atmosphere of the market. You can record your experience visiting temples and shrines (I know some places do t allow recording tho) rather than just listing their names. You can interview locals and observe how life is different in different countries. You can record your time visiting natural spots such as coves, mountains and springs. I’m sure you have had a plethora of experiences while visiting different countries.
Hey, I’ve been to both and I live in Canada and nyc gets boring and the people are rude but la is nice and very laid back and I luv it so my choice is (drumroll) L.A!!! 👌🏻
Explain how nyc is boring, because its obviously not

Los Angeles because it has many people from different cultures and it’s awesome to meet different people
Toby Johns You know that New York is the most diverse city in the world right?
people are shit in new York tho
NY is 100x more diverse than LA. Over there you only see Mexicans and Salvadorians representing Latinos, meanwhile in NY you have one of every Latino. You barely find anyone from the Caribbean in LA either since the islands are too far from Cali. In NY you find Dominicans, Puerto Ricans, Jamaicans, Haitians and more people from almost all the islands
Pedro Salazar but they are always in a rush. They are mean and selfish. I live in New York
Nah we the most diverse but the only “problem” with NY we are to BLUNT we don’t really gaf about others opinion
Thanks for the update , my family and I considering moving to California next year. We had enough of NYC lol paying $1800 rent each month for 2 bedrooms and other expenses separately. Well NY will be missed hopefully Cali is the place this time😁
Oh yea the awesome tent metropolis’s so laid back and conscious about health LA 😌
Are you back in the U.S. now you keep on making videos about it
Yes he is
I lived in both cities but nyc all the way
You are very inspiring keep doing what your doing. And also would you pick Toronto or Vancouver
I love you man !! West is the best
@Kyrie Irving ohh you need to stop I been to Boston and that’s was one sad city all the girls are covered up in long coats just Las Vegas it’s self would take out east cost on how much it would be
NY is much better by far. Anybody who says LA is better is either a foreigner or an american that havent been to either and just assumes LA is better bc celebrities and hollywood
I think it's a draw honestly. I could rant about the negatives and positives of both and in the end, neither comes out the clear winner to me. But wondering why you personally like NYC more. I live there and have been to LA and can't confidently agree with that.
depends on what you value. I absolutely love NY more, but there's a certain grind to it that wears away at you after ~1-2 years or so, especially if you're poor. it's easier to be poor in LA, but there's just more beauty, excitement, vibrancy to new york. people are smarter in NYC, more attractive in LA (although tons of attractive people in NY as well, and you'll probably see them more often because everyone is just in their cars all the time in LA). LA just seems like a place to live, make some money, enjoy a chill life, whereas NYC is somewhere that people go because they have strong passions and motivation to do something cool.
exactly and LA doesn't wholly represent the west coast I would say it should be SF vs nyc since there both dense and hall better architecture
I live in La and have only been in New York one time lol
LA is better
I love L.A but never visited. Love from Pakistan❤
