It’s tough to beat the weather in Los Angeles. Comedian Daniel Tosh had it right; when referring to the city he said: “I love seasons. That’s why I live in a place where we skip the sh*tty ones.” The weekends in L.A. revolve around outdoor activities, and on any given Sunday you could find yourself playing beach volleyball in Santa Monica or hiking in the Malibu hills. As the entertainment capital of the world, the City of Angels attracts many beautiful, intelligent people from all parts of the country. Most are just looking for a good time in the sun and maybe a shot at fame.
There are plenty of lucrative job opportunities in Hollywood, as well as in hedge funds, legal affairs and sports. The headquarters of a variety of conglomerates are based here and with all of the money floating around the city it is an ideal setting to climb the corporate ladder. Angelenos live to network, and there is a limitless supply of restaurants, bars and clubs to conduct business after hours. You can find a happy hour somewhere around town at almost any time of day, after 12 p.m. of course.
Los Angeles is a perfect place for a professional, motivated, unattached guy to settle down for a while.
You should move to Los Angeles now because the social scene this year will be second to none. The city is arguably the live music capital of the world and home to famous venues like The Viper Room and Whisky a Go Go, where bands like The Doors got their start. 2010 will be no different, and these clubs will continue to attract the hottest new acts in town. More established groups always include L.A. in their world tours, and this year Bruce Springsteen, Eric Clapton and Flight of the Conchords will all be hitting the stage.
There’s never a dull moment in this sports epicenter. The Dodgers made two great decisions last year by picking up manager Joe Torre and signing Manny Ramirez. They will likely resign Ramirez in 2009 and reenergize the franchise. Off of his MVP Award last year, Kobe Bryant could potentially take the Lakers all the way to the finals in June -- not to mention the two indestructible college franchises, USC football and UCLA basketball.
Need a further dose of culture? The L.A. Film Festival in Westwood and Fashion Week in Downtown never disappoint. Add to the list, premier restaurant openings like Cecconi’s (Venetian fare) and Rivera (contemporary Latin) and you can’t go wrong.0 -

Wowzers, that does sound like fun, but it is certainly not the LA that I have visited (and I am one of the few Brits that like it!).
Same old question I'm afraid - how did you intend to finance football, film festivals and 'premier restaurants'?

Vibrant nightlife and healthy lifestyles
Also known as the “Magic City”, Miami is home to a very diverse population who enjoy not only the warm weather and blue skies, but also living the American Dream at its fullest. With a vibrant nightlife, world-class hospitality and an exploding entertainment industry. Social introductions are easy to make and receive here -- useful both in the dating scene and in business.
For the past few decades, Miami has become home to headquarters of major national and international corporations. It’s generally easy to relocate management-level staff and recruit qualified employees, all while having access to national and international cities via the Miami International Airport -- the third busiest airport for passengers in the United States. Miami is very much South America’s gateway to North America, and if you have any Spanish language skills you’ll be in luck both in terms of employment and socially.
Miami has the perfect climate for exercising outdoors, and you’ll see plenty of people working on their physiques on the beach. Healthy lifestyles are definitely de rigeur here, but don’t let that fool you into thinking people don’t like to party.
In the turmoil of an uncertain global economy, Miami stands strong; a temporarily suffering real-estate market allows new buyers and new residents to find amazing deals on homes and new apartments. Brand new condominiums are being transformed into rental communities, and a wave of new residents is expected to populate areas such as Miami Downtown, Brickell and Midtown in the next couple of years.
In the meantime, new high-end resorts, luxury high rises and fine dining restaurant keep opening their doors knowing that there is a financially stable portion of the population that keeps spending their dollars to maintain their lifestyles. Large expos and shows are already scheduled to come back to Miami, including Art Basel Miami Beach, the largest contemporary art fair in the world, Miami International Boat Show, the second largest boat and yacht expo in the United States, and this year the show to end all shows, the Super Bowl, will revisit the Magic City.0 -
Outlaw777, perhaps you would like to explain the point behind your posts #72 (containing two website links) and #78?
Plenty of us will have visited LA and/or Miami for ourselves (myself included) so I, for one, am not sure why someone who has visited neither is doing their level best to promote these two cities?0 -
