A. Because it’s the greatest city in the world and it’s not even close.

NY way better than London, I mean I'm a big fan of NY but you've got to be joking. London is a whole new level. Food is better in NY though 🙂

San Diego hands down. Best vibes, best weather, best views, best activities and best people. Lowest COL of the 3. I've had 6 friends move there from around around country and all of them are now the happiest I've ever seen them. I've lived in both of the other two and can't think of worse places to have to pay so much to live in.

I live in bed stuy. But to answer Huron - 5k is quite a lot for brooklyn. You can find 2 bedrooms for way less in almost every neighborhood in Brooklyn and queens and the Bronx. Excluding the really expensive neighborhoods like Williamsburg, Brooklyn heights, Fort Greene, park slope etc. My friend lives in a new building 1 bedroom in Manhattan and pays 5k. Not saying you can't pay that much in one of the new Brooklyn buildings but almost all the neighborhoods are cheaper than that.

OP I'm ready for that sunshine. I'm in my 30s so I care less about nightlife and more about space, sun and nature.

B. Lived in both A & B and each city has its pros and cons (as do all things in life). I will always love NYC, but the weather, access to any type of terrain / activity I want without getting on a plane in less than 2 hours (beaches, mountains, deserts, hiking, skiing, etc.) is what put LA on top for me. Also the diversity in industries here is something people tend to overlook. There's more to this city than M&E.

Depending what stage of life you’re in. San Diego is not great for career, and West Coast vibe is generally lazy. NYC all the way for me.

Currently living in B. Moved from A. Both are great and both have downfalls. New York is for people who love the constant city energy, enjoy socializing about current events, and being around the smartest people. Iron sharpens iron there. Downside: dirty, small, and rude people. LA has got the beach, nature and beautiful women. Downside: traffic, surprisingly very few Fortune 500 companies outside of M&E.

My wife got a job that requires us to relocate to San Diego. We have never lived there and know little about the city. We are planning to rent. We stayed in a hotel in little Italy and really loved the vibe there, but it’s too expensive for us. Are there other neighborhoods with similar vibes - restaurants, bars, lively, good for walking, clean, safe, young, diverse and accessible that are more affordable? Please share recommendations. How much should we reasonably budget to rent a 2bd/2bath?

Do NOT claim you are "colorblind" in the workplace. 1. DE&I knowledge is now a core leadership competency. Colorblind claims will earn you the reputation of being DEI-ignorant at best & racist at worst. 2. Colorblindness within the context of workplace diversity is an obvious lie. You do NOT want to be painted as an intellectually dishonest leader. 3. Colorblind claims signal that you lack the leadership skills & vocabulary to have key conversations. Ask questions here, in this safe space.
