L.A. is a lot less expensive than Manhattan, so it suits me more. Also, winter in NYC sucks. I went to college in Colorado for a while, so I've seen normal winters. Move everyone in the city downtown. Add winter, subways, and double your rent.
Life is much sunnier now.
As I said, I am living in L.A. now, in Encino, a nicer suburb of L.A. in the San Fernando Valley. I live in a house with four friends, Lori and Tim, Joseph, and Sabrina. Life ain't bad right now. I love my room, which the ever-talented bronxelf custom painted for me. We have a good-sized backyard, too, where a little turtle pond and the jacuzzi reside.
