Ok, I can stereotype too. At least I don’t live in a shitburg white trash racist drunken Irish wife-beating town who suck Tawm Brady’s cheating dick like it cures cancer and yet have come to the mistaken conclusion that your elitist alcoholic Caucasian town is somehow better than everywhere else. You know what you call a girl from Boston with a black eye? Someone who had to be told twice. We all know where the real shithole is, somewhere near that rat-infested cat piss smelling 75 years past it’s prime dump you call Fenway Park. How was that example of stereotyping? As accurate as yours? Whoa, take it easy buddy. That's an awful lot of spewing towards Boston. It's just that I actually voted for Los Angeles. I know you're from Philly, so obviously reading and sentence comprehension isn't a strong suit of yours, but if you actually pay attention to what I wrote, I chose LA, not Boston. I'll try to type slower next time..... My reading comprehension is just fine, yours could use some work. I mean, you did say this: "I mean, there are no shitholes like Philly..."Boston trash.

Obviously Los Angeles. Aside from having better weather than all of the other 3 cities, none of the other 3 cities have anything that even comes close to Disneyland and Hollywood. I'm very curious as to how many of us here actually care about Disneyland? You don't care about the happiest place on Earth?

Boston has the MIT, the Boston Latin...and some other university I can't recall at the moment. And it has the Indian summer, while California has the drought (dry weather like now is the normal for California, not the green period from the lat 18th century to recently). Things will get funny in California, especially since they consume the scarce water resources more and more rapidly. Boston has crappy weather. LA has sunny weather and beaches. Debate ends right there. LA wins over Boston easily.

This is actually a pretty tough question. All four of these cities really do have a lot to offer, even Kansas City has great food and really nice people. I mean, there are no shitholes like Philly and Detroit clogging up the list. There is one big thing, though, which gives one city a major edge..... If you've ever been to LA on a hot summer day, and you're a man with a functioning penis, the eye candy that will surround you completely puts LA over the top on this question. Not saying they are all sweethearts, but try walking down Sunset Strip on a Saturday afternoon without getting a hard-on, I dare ya! Ok, I can stereotype too. At least I don’t live in a shitburg white trash racist drunken Irish wife-beating town who suck Tawm Brady’s cheating dick like it cures cancer and yet have come to the mistaken conclusion that your elitist alcoholic Caucasian town is somehow better than everywhere else.

As accurate as yours? That's a perfect description of Boston.

That is the same way most of us down South feel about hurricanes --- no big deal. And I get that that's your point, but it's ludicrous. No matter how you try to spin it, a snowstorm is less of a problem than a hurricane. You may not get those as often, but it's undeniably more of an issue. Ever been through a hurricane?

You may not get those as often, but it's undeniably more of an issue. Ever been through a hurricane? Yes. Hurricane sandy hit the tristate area. Lots of destruction for people. Power outages, closed roads, floods, my parents had lots of trees fall on their property and were put out of their house for about a month. They had to rent a house in the meantime, and they were lucky. And there was hurricane Irene a few years prior to that. Only two in my recent memory, and yet in every possible conceivable way they were worse and more intrusive than any of the many snow storms in my life time put together.

Hurricane Georges hit but my friends and I (very stupidly, in hindsight) went to my friend's place in Destin, which ended up getting hit significantly harder during that storm. It took us about 8 days to be able to leave Destin to get back to school. So one hurricane in 4 years that ended up not even hitting New Orleans. I wonder how many snowstorms hit new York during those 4 years. See my point? I am happy your wife loves New Orleans. And you two have fun down here. Keep coming. We love our tourists. We have more fun when sharing our good things with others. No snowstorm took him 8 days to dig out from, see our point? Snow is like rain, it's a nuisance but life goes on. A snowstorm doesn't rip your house down or make it necessary to use a boat to go down the street when the neighborhood is completely flooded. I can't believe you're comparing snow to a hurricane, this argument should be reversed. You should be laughing at us northerners for complaining about snow when your entire neighborhood could be leveled on any given day.

I assume that's the semi-finalists for this year's handegg supper bowl🤔
Can't go for Boston, that's all WASPS and plastic paddies.
Nor Kansas, they're all white trash tornado bait.
New Orleans is too close to them Cajun swamp mutants.
Suppose it'll be Los Angeles. Homeboys down Compton would be a bit of a laugh👍

You fellas have to come up with a funnier derogatory term for our sport. That one's not cutting it.

Most of the hurricanes that hit here are category 1, 2 or 3. There is no requested evacuation for 1s and 2s. And there is only a recommended evacuation for a 3, which nobody follows. In most cases, the worst thing that happens is only a short term power outage. In other words, every hurricane is not a category 4 or 5 like Sandy. Now, see my point?

No. I've never had to evacuate my home for a snowstorm. There's a snowstorm in the forecast for tonight. It will essentially not effect me at all. I will put on a coat and wear boots to work. See mine?

It's just that it's completely absurd. You're still comparing snowstorms hurricanes. No matter how you do it, it's still ridiculous. We get a few snowstorms a year, and none of them are ever as debilitating as a hurricane. Whatever equation you wanna do with that is fine for you, but hurricanes are worse than snowstorms no matter how often each occurs.

I live in Westchester county NY. About 20 mins outside of the city... depending on traffic and where I'm trying to go. I also went to school upstate where we would sometimes get pounded with tons of snow. I've seen lots of different snowstorms with lots of different ramifications. None as bad as a hurricane. I understand that hurricanes wouldn't prevent you from living in a city you love, and that you think the reaction and perception to them is overblown, and that people who don't spend time there complaining about the weather don't know the reality of what you deal with. But still... comparing dealing with a snow storm to a hurricane is ludicrous.

But still... comparing dealing with a snow storm to a hurricane is ludicrous. Thank you for understanding. This whole discussion started because Scifi said something to the effect of "I wouldn't want to party in New Orleans because they get blasted by hurricanes all the time." That is ridiculous. Like saying. "I don't want to go to California because they get hit by fires and earthquake all the time." Or, "I don't want to visit New York because it gets cold in the winter." But I still say snowstorms for anybody north of the Mason Dixon line is more of a nuisance than hurricanes on the Gulf or Atlantic coast. Yes, there is a greater risk of damage, injury or death from a category 4 or 5. But northerners spend more money, time and energy dealing with snow, ice and below freezing temperatures every year, than coastals spend on hurricanes. Hurricanes hit less often. And most are not powerful enough to cause damage.
