I’ve always felt a parallel to the differences between 90s west coast and east coast hip hop.

In NY, there is an ad scene. In LA, there isn't.

^ correct

In winter, in NYC, you're working from home because of heavy snow storms. In LA, in the winter, you're working from the beach.

I think all ad agencies in nyc are in the same area? In LA, the big agencies are in playa vista/Culver City area which is not a walkable city. So everyone’s in their bubble. I’m in LA but been remote since the pandemic so I’m not really in the scene

Definitely not all in the same area in NYC. Most agencies are now scattered between Dumbo, world trade, Hudson Square, Madison / flatiron, and a few in midtown.
