I always see NY folks making this absurd "NY > CA" comments, but never back it up with anything. So I started to think about it.
What makes NY better?
Weather?
Sports?
Girls?
Schools?
Price?
Nightlife?
?
Businesses?
So what exactly am I missing here? You cant even use earthquakes as an excuse anymore. What makes NY better?
What makes NY better?
Weather?
Spoiler [+]
NY in the winter
LA in the winter
There are no extremes either. No blistering cold winters or unbearably hot and humid summers.

Sports?
Spoiler [+]
The Yankees and Lakers cancel each other out. Currently everything else is subpar with a few scattered championships (Giants and Giants). There are superstar players in both states as well. California has more professional teams though.
Girls?
Spoiler [+]
We dont wish they all would be New York girls.
Schools?
Spoiler [+]
Forbes top 100 colleges 2011 list has 10 California schools and 6 New York schools.
Price?
Spoiler [+]
Although there are expensive areas in both states, New York in general is more expensive to live. Cost of living in Manhattan in general dwarfs that of San Francisco or Los Angeles.
Nightlife?
Spoiler [+]
This is one area where I have no problem admitting New York wins.
Spoiler [+]
Medical marijuana is legal in California, and the pot in general is exponentially better than NY pot. Even non medical marijuana is decriminalized in California.
Businesses?
Spoiler [+]
Almost identical amount of Fortune 500 companies. New York has 56 and California has 55.
