Los Angeles to boycott Arizona over immigration law

I definitely agree with you about the layout. However, there are several centers and neighborhood which is what give LA its character.

I also agree with you that Chicago and New York are great cities. In fact, Chicago is my favorite city in the US. The problem is, it just has so many other drawbacks.
NY is a great city as well, however, again, it lacks many of the amenities that LA offers.

I disagree with you however about the diversity. Chicago is not really that diverse. New York does compare to LA, however, LA is much more global in its diversity. There isn't a city around that offers the same cultural diversity that LA does.

Ummmm Chicago has huge Polish, Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Jewish, Mexican, black etc populations.

Los Angeles did not even make it into the top one-hundred most diverse city's in America. Chicago came in at #96.

So much for "global diversity." New Jersey ranked high on the list, but not New York city.

LA has blacks, Mexicans, whites of all kinds, Armenians, Asians, Jewish, etc. This place is pretty diverse. All of those groups that I presented are here in pretty significant numbers.

Los Angeles is the armpit of the U.S.(sorry jallman). The place is one F-ing freeway, interspersed with strip malls. I left that hellhole 5 days after my 18th birthday. F Los Angeles, it's a smoggy traffic jam, I hate that F-ing place.
 
Viva la NYC, down with crappy L.A., the city of the fallen angels. Seriously, it's impossible, how can anyone tolerate that hellhole?

Look at that. Substantial Hispanic, Blacks, and other races. That's about 70% minority. At the most, you can say they're roughly equal. At the worst LA is more diverse. Just compare percentages.

The percentages are from different sources.

As I showed LA is not even ranked in the top 100, Chicago is.

End of story.

You know how biased City Search is against LA. :lol:

Look at any diversity statistics and Chicago loses to New Jersey, but Beats LA every time.

Los Angeles sucks in every way. It's crappy. I'm glad I got out of that suffocating, smog laden, poor excuse of a city forever! It's a blight on the earth and an example of everything wrong with Western society. :doh

It's even funnier that Queens is exactly like Los Angeles, yet New York is somehow so much better.
 
GOP Convention decided to use Tampa Bay instead of Phoenix Tampa wins GOP nod to host 2012 convention - The Boston Globe

Why? Even if their decision was not based on the AZ bashing, it looks like they moved to avoid the issue. They claim they moved it to Florida because it is a swing state. Didn't the GOP have it in NYC in 2004. Isn't NYC a Dem strong hold, not a swing state?

I don't know, hmmmm?
