Yes, New York has better everything than Los Angeles. We also have earthquakes, bad traffic, no good restaurants, and you can't jay walk. Los Angeles is a hell hole with nothing to recommend for itself.

When we moved to idaho, 10 years ago, I soon realized that what would make my life MUCH better was warmer clothes, especially a coat. It makes all the difference, even as it makes you look like Nanook from the North. But it's nice to be snug and smug.
