cali vs. nyc - Zilvia.net Forums | Nissan 240SX (Silvia) and Z (Fairlady) Car Forum

turbo2nr · 01-30-2009, 08:21 AM

well i've lived in nyc for 23 years, its a great city always something to do. partys, girls, car scene ect.. but im getting tired of it, tired of the same routine, work/school/party/drive.. its seems so blah..

im also graduating. with a b.s. in automotive managment, and i'm begining to see that nyc wont have a job that i can advance in and make a career out of.

so this leads me to cali...

i know most people on this forum is form their. how is it in cali? hows the ecomony their, are jobs stable? hows the lifestyle? im sure its not as busy as ny.

the only negative thing i heard about cali. is that some people come off fake.. no offence, i just hear that they dont tell you like how it is...

stiizy · 01-30-2009, 08:24 AM

Dude you'll love Cali i can't wait to move back.......

Cali peeps are alot nicer than in nyc, but there are some fake ones. All in all, west coast atmosphere is more relaxed than the east coast. For instance, In nyc, you pass people on the street and you rarely so much as look at eachother, in cali (generalization) people are alot more freindly.

Sleepiedaze · 01-30-2009, 08:29 AM

cali especially so cal is very chill and laid back. as far as fake goes... if you hit the clubs and the night life you'll meet all the fake people.

*ManoNegra* · 01-30-2009, 08:31 AM

We're currently not accepting applications
leave your resume and we'll call you back...

I suggest taking a trip
it may not be your thing
traffic jams can be real pain, no good public transportation
takes forever to get anywhere
but on the other hand, you can wear shorts to the beach in January
job situation is like everywhere right now, not so great
as far as the phonyness, yes there's that
my experience is that is usually people that have moved to Cali
weird, seems like they need to prove something
born locals are just pretty laid back

shmiddy · 01-30-2009, 08:32 AM

never been to cali, but i would love to visit. as for me im dying in new york, born and raised and ill be buried here to

jskateborders · 01-30-2009, 08:34 AM

lol traffic jams... ^^^, must not have been to nyc. I dont think he's worried about that. Btw, in cali, you pull over for fender benders.

turbo2nr · 01-30-2009, 08:42 AM

i think i need to take a trip out there and see how it is... i dont mind the fast pace life, thats what worries me about cali, it might me a little to slow for my taste..

so job wise its not any better huh? that sucks..

hows the housing market? whats rent like for a one bedroom? what are one family houses going for out there?

im just trying to get a feel for it..

you might consider looking at northern virginia, its not as fast paced as nyc, but still pretty busy. Also, there are jobs there. Why? The major industry in NOVA is govt, so that means a majority of the pop still has good paying jobs, and can afford to spend money on local business. For example, my ex came back from school over break and just jumped in to her old job as a waitress working like 5 days a week. Not many resteraunts now can afford to just hire someone for two weeks. Thats something else to consider.

Jah1mon · 01-30-2009, 08:49 AM

I think cali has the one of the highest job loss percentages in the US with the current economic situation.

Nah i chill in Queens...

Born and Raised in the BX and lived in Westchester for a while now i'm in Jersey City.....

Dude take a trip out there for like 10 days you'll love it..

When i moved out there i only knew one person and just moved out there without even being there before..

It's dope but really different from what we're used to.

Actually nope us in Jersey have the highest unemployment rate in the Country..

shmiddy · 01-30-2009, 09:12 AM

im from queens!!! lol

Jah1mon · 01-30-2009, 09:14 AM

Unless the figures changed I was pretty sure Cali is on top 5.

States with the highest unemployment rates in December 2008:
1. Michigan, 10.6 percent
2. Rhode Island, 10 percent
3. South Carolina, 9.5 percent
4. California, 9.3 percent
5. Nevada, 9.1 percent
6. Oregon, 9 percent
7. District of Columbia, 8.8 percent
8. North Carolina, 8.7 percent
9. Indiana, 8.2 percent
10. Florida, 8.1 percent

aziankingz · 01-30-2009, 09:14 AM

west coast is definitely more relaxed.. but the economy isnt doing so well there either and i hear they are strict with car modifications..

turbo2nr · 01-30-2009, 09:22 AM

yea i hear cali car emmissions sucks but im sure they are ways to get around it just like ny..

shmiddy- have i seen you around before??

smellslikecurry · 01-30-2009, 09:24 AM

new york city is one of the greatest cities on this planet

more culture than the UN

fuck even the UN is in NYC

LeftNutOfGowd · 01-30-2009, 09:52 AM

Dorifto89 · 01-30-2009, 09:54 AM

Just don't call it "Cali" when you get there.

Bubbles · 01-30-2009, 10:00 AM

NYC is awesome, I love it.

*fliprayzin240sx* · 01-30-2009, 10:11 AM

Well your from NYC and you said Cali. California is a fucking state. If you said Socal, that might be narrowing it down a bit but still not a fucking CITY. So you need to figure out where you're thinking of going. LA, SD, SF...figure it out...

Anyways I lived in Socal and lived in NJ, dealt with east coast cats (Philly, NYC, NJ, CT, etc). I think the biggest shit I can say is, theres alot of fucking Wanksta in the east coast. You bring the east coast attitude to socal, your liable to get stabbed or shot at (no fucking joke). Dont wear Red anywhere you fucking go, dont come off as a cocky smart ass to anybody, plan for the traffic (imagine trying to go from bronx to manhattan during rush hour), go enjoy some fucking carne asada burrito and you'd be good.

But in all honesty, right now is probably the worst time to move to cali. Economy is in the shit, job availability must fucking suck and the state is fucking broke. I wouldnt move to cali at this point unless I get stationed there or if I already have a house down there to fall back on.

I did get a lot of hate though when i first met people there like who gives a fuck where ya from attitudes..

but then everyone was chill and everyone used the call me new york haha..

I want Carne Asada fries...

Damn i miss the food out there......

There are a ton of fake ass people over here but it's easy to put them in there place or call their bs
