- New York vs. Los Angeles! I’m asked a lot about the differences these two cities have to offer since I've lived in both cities now. When it comes to transportation, style, people, food, living - I'll give you the low down for both! I love NY and LA, it’s impossible to pick one over the other! This is Day 6 of 7 of my 7 day video challenge.

NY: unhealthy sociopaths
LA: healthy narcissists
Angel King this is fucking dead on.
Angel King except the narcissists I know in nyc are, by definition, unhealthy of mind!
New Yorkers are more social because we live in the city, not fucking suburbs.
You should switch the first word. 🤣 🤣 🤣
instablaster...
anyone who says LA is boring and nothing happens is full of bullshit. try living in a super small town in Alabama you whole life where the most exciting thing that happens is a high school football game and a birthday dinner.
lol only the people who live there. It still boggles my mind to hear that, especially with so much to do. Last time I was in san pedro, I was talking to someone asking them what they like to do, and they're like "there's nothing to do, I hate it here..." Like wtf?! And they lived right next to the fucking beach of all places!
lmao 😂😂😂
I think they're obviously comparing l.a. to other big cities like nyc Chicago not Alabama. no real point here
You can only go to the beach so many times...
Christian Botello LOL of course there's more than the beach to go to. There's so many attractions in LA alone.
I've spent time in both cities and in my opinion; In LA it's important to look cool. In NY it's important to be cool. And that's it in a nutshell.
berjaboy no in New York they try to look cool that's why they follow everything everyone else do
Joshua Fair you’ve never lived in either cities so yeah you’re opinion matters
@@joshuafair9009 I'm born and raised in NYC and NYC has always been a trend setting major city. Who is NYC trying to be like? Lol LA is LA. a totally different place. Which you think is better between the two is a matter of personal opinion and lifestyle you desire or prefer nothing more or less.
Girls in New York are hotter.
Yeah but at the end in LA we are more friendly. In LA you will meet people with the meanest looking faces and end up being the nicest people. Where as NYC people look mean and are mean.
I live in LA and this is pretty spot on. Mexican food is amazing. I spent most of my time just chilling with friends. Life is too short to be stressed out all the time.
Really? NY is not stressful, I mean it can be much at times but there is a lot to do in the richest, most social and diverse city in the whole of the country from zoos to parks to sports stadiums and amusements parks museums and beyond. Ny is where it's at and that's where it will always be!
@@cocotaveras8975 oh cool what amusement parks does NY have
Coco Taveras the west is the best, the East is the least, LA rules, definitely don’t want to be in NY!!
Coco Taveras let’s see you try to go to the beach, mountains and desert in one day, outdoor life is what it’s all about!!!
Excactly why i am moving there. If i get my greencard xd
After five years in NYC, we decided to move to LA too! Totally adjusting.
Every time I go to NYC I always get stressed out just by walking in the streets or ordering food you gotta do everything quickly
True, California is so relaxing and so beautiful with the mountains, and also the gorgeous weather, and stunning sunset.
+william creggett wait until you live here
Beautiful with wildfires
I want to Live in NY but want to Die in LA
TO LIVE AND DIE IN L.A
NY born and raised. you have to have THICK skin to live here. unless you're rich and can afford to have an easy job and an apartment in chelsea. but that is like 1% of new yorkers. new yorkers work hard. and we dont take BS.
carmonkey I agree, I live in Brooklyn and you have to be strong to live here.
tru
***** queens girl, born and raised!
Corey Pack that's interesting!!
I don't get it I'm from Chicago and live in Los Angeles.. Why do u have to be so "strong" to live in NYC
I live in New York and i've always wondered about LA life. All my friends are like "Theres nothing like west coast livin" All the CZcamsrs seem to flock there when they "Make it" But im like what better than getting a turkey and cheese sandwich from my bodega at 1am? I guess i'll never know until i visit
Marsha Browne yassss bless the bodegas!!!!
Marsha Browne Yes! I couldn't not have corner store!
Marsha MAN. that alone makes me miss NY. i miss my butter bagels and sausage egg and cheese bagels. my 1.75 pizza and my heros. NO OTHER STATE UNDERSTANDS. and no other state can make it :/
Marsha west coast livin... is great.
+Marsha YASS BACON EGG AND CHEESE
I'm from New York City but I LOVE the west coast, I LOVE ORANGE COUNTY CALIFORNIA. It's my dream to live in Orange County, California & I'll make it happen (god willing).
Omg I've never been to NY but when someone says LA is cheap compared to anything you know NY IS EXPENSIVE AF!
Jean Chancy I understand all of you. I live in the city of Hong Kong. Real estate prices here believe it or not is higher than NYC.
Chancy Visuals that’s why you live on Long Island.
bro LA is so cheap i get these ginormous candy bars for a quarter
@Jean Chancy Crazy thing is, I tell everyone in the South that California is hell fucking expensive. After watching this video I don't even want to know the rent in NYC is like.
@@10RBREEZY Every borough is different, but on average, you'll spend 1800-2400 for a studio, 2500-3500 for a 1 bedroom, and 3500 plus for a 2 bedroom (if you're lucky. Most 2 bedrooms are over $4000). It totally depends on the proximity to Manhattan, and the individual neighborhood as well.
I've never been to LA, but you did a great job describing NYC. I am a native New Yorker living in Manhattan and working in Brooklyn. It's all about the grind. Visitors label us as rude, but we aren't rude at all. We are just trying to get from point A to point B at lightning speed. The multi tasking, rat racing, two job having, tiny apartment living, tall building viewing, subway jumping world is......NEW YORK CITY! :-)
NoProGoPronto you're proud to have rat racing and a tiny apartment lol. God didnt intend for humans to live like that
you just dont understand the lifestyle
Both sound fantastic. I've dreamed of living in New York since I was little
Courtney Pollock you gotta be tough
I'm a New Yorker, and I always dreamed of living in LA..
+carmonkey congrats u wanna try living in the desert?
+Courtney Pollock I'm sorry you couldn't aspire to more in life.
I've been dreaming of living on mars bye
La, home of most celebrities. Also I just love the tall palm trees. It just feels like california truely.
thats a lot of Knowledge your saying
New York - Endless entertainment!
Los Angeles - Vacation feel, good vibes!
Seems like you got the best of both worlds. I was born in Detroit, and I'm now living in Georgia. I'll most likely be going to college in New York, which I think will be great for me. I'm fairly shy and can be fearful. New York will teach me how to be more shameless, bold, and how to hustle. That's what attracted me to it. I need a push!
Makaveli Moon it definitely will. NY state or NYC? the rest of new york state is much different than the city.
Makaveli Moon It will definitely push you! I became such a hard worker and learned how to be more direct, without being rude. I loved the pace and the hustle and that everyone is working their butts off. One thing that was tough was that since everyone works so hard, it can be hard to really connect and make friends. That may have just been my experience but it seemed like a lot of people were flakey because everyone is so busy. I still loved it though :)
Makaveli Moon I from Detroit and live in GA now too! Small world. And in terms of personality traits, we have that in common too. Definitely a shy and reserved type. I hope you're successful out in NY. I'm thinking of moving to LA for a similar experience. Maybe in the next couple of years. =)
Makaveli Moon I totally agree! I was born and raised in NY and came down to Ga for high school. I swear I've gotten soft. I have no hustle to me. No ambition. GA doesn't really support that. I need to leave this state!!
Good luck paying for Tuition..
What I love about this video is that you didn't bash either city. Just subscribed!
All true. I was born and raised in NYC (Bronx). I've lived in LA since 1990. I came here for grad school and ended up staying here indefinitely. I do miss home, I'm happy to go back to see my family for visits, and check out old haunts, but LA? It's home. Work is here, weather is here. I can't choose between the two, but luckily, thank God, I had the good fortune of being born and raised in one of the best cities in the world, I've been able to live my adult life here in one of the world's other best cities, and I've been able to travel back and forth between the two. It's been amazing. Equally great places in their own unique ways.
As a LA native that visited NYC, I liked the big city a lot more. Being a person that loves huge landscapes and architecture it is amazing. However after just a few days of taking public transportation there, I got the feeling that it could be a depressing place to live. As a person that likes friendly people and community, I prefer LA.
janine mp Yeah other points about nyc is great it's just social issues and dealing people is very stressful. I would prefer to be in a city where everyone is laidback and chill but unfortunately i cant leave nyc
Very true
I had the same thought when I was there. In fact it wasn’t a good experience, I don’t think I would come back there. The city is beautiful though.
Next month I’m going to be In LA to improve my English and it seems that people are more friendly and cheerful as in my country (Italy).
I don’t really get why people love NY so much
You probably stayed in Manhattan. Brooklyn or Staten Island is very chill and laid back in some parts. 😊
New York is great but Los Angeles is gorgeous!
Living for this 7 day video challenge!
Omg yasssss
i feel so spoiled with all these videos. lol.
nikkicole54321 I WAS JUST THINKING THAT! Haha
I was born in L.A when I turned 18 my mom took me to nyc i loved it so much i had my family move here i am so happy with my decision now im 26 and i still love New York and everything about it❤️
Im from Los Angeles and i do go snow boarding in L A mountains and do surfing on L. A waves , ok im going to Disneyland now for a cup of coffee see ya
+louie perez why disneyland for coffee??
+Madhops 107 Downtown Disney has a nice night scene, maybe that's his reason? I don't know, there are Starbucks all over the place :)
akanne1 what is it like the red light district there?
Madhops 107
not all all. I meant night scene as a going out at night to socialize but not necessarily with that population. Again, I don't know his real reasons for going there. I just know it is a nice spot.
akanne1 I was kidding
Loved this video! I've lived in both and totally agree with your comparisons! New York makes you tough. It teaches you to be bold, direct, professional, and hard working. LA is where some of my best friends live though, so it will always be home to me :) Great video Maya!
What I tell people is I am from NYC but live and work in California. I still have my Queens accent and proud of it.
Iam from Florida iam already direct and blunt and moving to LA
This was a great vid xx
***** lol everyone watches Shameless Maya I hear people drop her name all the time on YT. I love Chanel Boateng too!
HARLEM IS IN MANHATTAN / N.Y.C. IT'S JUST UPTOWN ....
+Alex James yes I know I lived there
Alex James I lived in NY for 24 years and never knew that lol. Damn I feel dumb
I live in Maryland, been to NYC millions of times, been to LA twice ( just came back from there 2 weeks ago on the 12th of January). It depends on what you like really. Transportation is better in NY just cause the trains go pretty much everywhere and NYC is condensed vs LA that is SO FREAKING spread out and the trains don't cover everything. NY is more fast paced, LA is more laid back. People are much nicer in LA I find. There's a lot to do in both cities, I do like the 3 hours difference when i'm in LA. Cost of living is definitely higher in Manhattan, it varies all throughout LA. Personally I would definitely pick LA over NY cause NY Is just way too fast and people move like machines over there. In LA you can go to the beach, youre surrounded by mountains everywhere, you can go hiking, got to downtown, Venice beach and all that. Its a matter of preference though.
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS
Ohhhhhh my god this video was perfect timing I'm relocating and trying to decide between New York and LA and here you come with the answer to my prayers. Thanks Mya!!!!
Thank you 😊. I love and appreciate this video because the part where you stated "learning to be in the presence and the now" is what I looking for. I mean there is Upstate NY but I'm done with the cold. I've been living in NY 30 years and I need peace.
So true about LA. We are definitely chill people! Currently wearing my maxi dress with curly hair💕✨
Black women in LA seem very confident wearing their natural hair...gotta love it.
thank you so much for this Maya! I'll be graduating college next Spring & Cali and NY have always been my top two choices on places to move after school.
Choose cali to live and ny to visit during the early fall months
I say the opposite and visit Cali only because New York does a better job preparing you for the real word.
I was leaning more towards Cali but being that I'm working towards a career in the fashion industry, New York seems like the better choice. Such a hard decision..
Brooklyndeva yes!! what a smart idea.
Kadijah Nicole NY is the PLACE for fashion. You will get an internship like its air, everyone lives breathes fashion in NYC. you never know who you'll bump into when getting a bagel! lol
Spot on! Lived in NY for 6 years and I've been in LA for almost 4 years. They are VERY different and great places to live in their own right. I would pick east coast over anything though. The people and culture is much richer there however, I do enjoy the sights the west has to offer.
One of the most awesome things about living here in the Los Angeles area is that within about an hour you could be skiing up in the mountains or riding your dirt bike in the desert or surfing at the beach . And of course the weather. I wouldn't trade it for anything .
Thanks for giving a great comparison of the two cities! I know a few Canadians here in London and they are all so friendly, and your videos feel the same vibe!
Essentially the east coast hustle is miles ahead of LA. Lived in both places and moved back east, I enjoy the hustle and no bs attitude.
To be honest i was so inspired by you! I moved back too NYC.. To work with you & also workhard to get my career on track. But feared what talent i had to offer.. But i still got to meet you & that was a check off my list of things to do.. So i thank you! & yes Maya the struggle is so real here!... In the city that don't sleep.
This video gave me as well as everybody else a good insight differences between the LA and New York City! Especially if people are traveling to either one of them. It gives them an idea on what to expect and not be surprised. Can't wait for a lot more differences between those 2 cities! Please come up with a whole lot more if you can! Thank you.
LA for life...
yaas
Pretty much NY is a place to visit and LA is the place to live
I think they're both a place to visit
+Randy Rodriguez what people forget about LA is that its pretty much third world country. So many impoverished people.
+halifaxx55 did u just call L.A. a country?
Jonathan torres Yeah, the majority of Los angeles looks like a third world country. Dilapidated, old and scruffy
Ian Christensen I suppose if that's a desirable look for them. LA has a ton of homeless folks tho, santa monica, hollywood hills, skid row, chinatown. Just because its' more spread out and can't see them as often doesn't mean they're not there. It's funny how futurama made fun of LA in one of their episodes. "lawless, disorganized and no civilization" haha
Excellent points! I am a lifelong NYer. I grew up in Brooklyn and worked in NYC for many years. Now I live in the suburbs, on Long Island. I love it here and could never live anywhere other than NY :-)
Yes I miss working around Nyers... they are not petty or trying to hold people back from being promoted...
Thank you for this video! I love how you talk and how clear and fun it all is what you say 😀 I'm a huge United States fan and I can learn from you so much valuable and genuine English 🗣 Thanks for being here & I'm so glad CZcams showed me you 🤩
Thank you for actually covering relevant topics and balancing it with anecdotes. All the other videos are people going on about their lives and barely about the cities themselves.
I live in NYC (since '95). I stayed in Cali in the late '90s for a few months. My excitement for both was based on the possibilities as a young performing artist with a lot of connections and hope. I prefer NYC because of the range of things to do and accessibility without a car. Plus I live along the water. It's beautiful. By the way, I recognize you from our Disney campaigns :)
Having been to both cities a few times, I would take L.A. hands down. New York is just too gritty and the weather sucks ass in the winter. Go to L.A. in December and take a ride up the PCH from Santa Monica through Malibu up in Calabasas then tell me you want to go back to New York.
why can't people talk about the good things about l.a. without mentioning the weather. neither city has control over the weather. if the question is what CITY is better NYC wins period even without a weather bonus.
blk sophistication the weather plays a big part on how you feel. Nothing like that first 70 degree day in NYC, but in L.A. everyday is the first day of Spring.
can't handle being real so you join the flunkies lmmfao and be fake ..soft ass
Nomi Fields I'm from Baltimore which is a pretty gritty city. You go visit L.A. in December and tell me you want to go back to Baltimore.
no I'm from there lol I'm desperate to leave soon in February it's not even about the weather seriously you don't know the downside to it all
I've lived in both cities and this was an AWESOME overview. Fantastic vid.
This is an awesome video. I really enjoyed your take on both of the cities ..
There is no place like New York, I love the energy here there is never a dull day in the city. One day you think you've seen it all, only to have a homeless man take a dump right night to you at a crosswalk. I feel like New Yorkers are more fast paced and one lane goal oriented, LA is more laid back and slow people take time to appreciate life more.
😂
I'm really sorry. You must of run into the "industry crowd" or at least wannabes. As a native So Cal I went to elementary school with Cory Feldman. At the time he was in the Bad news Bears( the t.v. Show). He was such a cocky little shit that in the 2nd grade a bunch of boys in my class dragged him to the school bathroom, dunked his head in the toilet and flushed! Most of us born here don't tolerate or have time for fake or stuck up. We really only want to know real people. I hope this might help in your view.
I agree with you. It gets me so pissed off when people get sterotypical aboUt the City. i live in The City. They are so nice there
no1 cares
Who is ''slow people''?
(GTA): Los Santos is better than Liberty City
exactly
Hell yeah
Ahhh but which one is featured in more games??..
But which one is featured in better games? :p
San Andreas is way better
Great video. I love the way you summed it up at the end. I'm LA native but thinking about moving to NY to pursue my art.
Both have so much diversity and I love it!! different food, different culture and they both give me plenty of new experiences. I was in New York when they ask me if I would like to have cuban or american coffee, didn't know what to do, i felt so pressured lol so I say " I'll take both!"
I don't live in LA or NYC, but I think I go with New York City. NYC is for me the definition of a city.
I'm sure some New Yorkers know what a "hell" NY was back in the day (late 60s/early 90s). Is some of that still there? I mean, TImes Square looks like Disneyland, I prefer the old Times Square, based on photo's from now and back in the day.
Trust me I live in it.It sucks anus.
Brandon Conner Your opinion is one of he millions who live there. Why does it sucks?
It's true that the city was very dangerous and pretty run down around the 60s,70s and 80s. However it has developed a lot and it's a very nice place to live in. I've lived here my whole life so I'm used to the hustle and bustle but I imagine it's hard to get used to.
you dumbass if you want disneyland come to LA newyork sucks ass
Lt Mojo Risin Maybe not as hell anymore but definitely still have many angry people. Still have a lot of social issues... but I think it is not as bad as in the past.
This video is honestly so helpful. I want to live in both cities during my lifetime. The issue is that I'm from Canada so I gotta get that green card!!! lol
Love this, gave me some very real insight, I used to live in LA and have been considering moving to NYC, so very very helpful TY!!
Very interesting analysis. It's nice that you focused only on the positive things about each city.
To live and Die in LA 😍🙌🏽
jordeecakes jay lol
jordeecakes jay yess!!♥
jordeecakes jay i love Earl but im a NY gal lol
K.29 earl? you mean 2pac?
I love u already
I am an Ex-NYCer but living in California for business reasons. I agree with maybe half of what this gal is saying and I do regularly visit NYC to see old friends, do business, and relatives. I have to add that NYCers if you get beyond the blunt demeanor, they tend to me much deeper as people and can make great friends. You know where you stand with NYCers if they like to don't like you whereas it is hard in California to see beyond those smiles. You have deeper and meaningful conversations from NYCers than California's namely that of Southern California. There are always good people anywhere so I am not trying to say All Californians are like that or NYCers for that matter. This joke came from my friend from San Francisco that it takes 5 southern Californians to screw on a light bulb. 1 to do it and the other 4 to enjoy the experience and that California is like a granola bar (land of the fruits nuts, and the flakes) Weather is far better out in California of course. NYCers beats the Californians in meaningful conversations and that is what we do when we hang out in NYC where as a conversation in California goes faster than a NY minute. California tends to be very emblem-oriented such as what neighborhood you live in or what car you drive. NYC isn't that way as much since it is true that many NYCers don't have cars. We jokingly refer to them as AH (air heads) but they joking refer to us as another initials denoting a part of our anatomy (sorry ..I don't cuss). LOL.
All in all, there are good and bad wherever you live and just make the best of it and adapt. Both states are victims of incompetent mayors of cities. Both are very expensive to live in as for major cities although I say NYC is more expensive and parking is super expensive except that us native NYCers just know where to park for free and how to do it and you have to be a great parallel Parker in NYC and learn to park fast and edge out the next guy wanting to race to steal your spot. Lastly, you cannot make a right turn after a full stop at a red light in the 5 boroughs of NYC as you can in most other states but you can jay walk legally since your life is in your own hands if you get run over by a car or taxi.
I miss NYC food badly (Pizzas, Chinese Food in Chinatown, Katz's Deli, etc) I actually have friends bring Katz's pastrami sandwiches on the plane coming to visit me in southern California.
I can go on and on but don't take it personally. Us NYCers and Californian friends laugh at all our differences. I got a easter card from a Calif friend with a picture of a cartoon rabbit saying "What does the easter bunny say in New York?" Open the card and it says Jerks.....everyone calls each other a jerk..........
Great video, excellent condensed work. Thank you.
Thanks for this video! super informational!
I live in Orlando, but I've been to both.
Los Angeles is really cool. Its one of the best cities there is. Up there with New Orleans, Chicago, Miami, Philadelphia, and Washington D.C
But theres nothing like New York. NY is magic, and even though I was only there for a week, it is my favorite city
Dilan Ross same! But I live just below Orlando so I get beaches, but NYC all the way
Dilan Ross If I wanted to live anywhere in America I would probably choose Orlando. I went there last year and I had a great time. I like it mainly for the theme parks and the climate though
Master Knife Orlando is pretty great! The climate can get hot as hell during Summer, but downtown is pretty cool. Disney and other theme parks are always fun if you have a friend. Its got good food, and the traffic isn't as bad as you would expect. Atlanta traffic is much worse.
Miami is definitly my favorite city here in my homestate though
I went to New orleans, and i was very disappointed. I feel you can’t enjoy a city truly unless you know some one there. It was lonely, but it was also during the winter, so maybe that’s why. Anyway in books, New Orleans is still a favorite city of mine.
I currently live in NY and wanna move to California so bad ahhhh!! This video is great thank you!
Do it, you won't regret!! 😊
Me too girl
You are 100% on point no questions asked. Lived in LA for 28Y took trips to NY. Agree 100%
LA is definitely my type of a city mostly because I won't have to spend 90% of my income on housing.
Craig F. Thompson She can just get a 2001 Hyundai Accent.
alisher1984 more like 85% lol. California is still expensive as shit
Yes you will lmao
I've sent to school in LA and NY for 9 months each. Currently commuting/working in NY. I definitely prefer LA over NY sooooooo much. Cost of living in LA is cheaper, definitely a more relaxed lifestyle, people over there be going to festivals, house parties, beaches, hiking, bonfires. I felt so much love in LA lol. I'm speaking from a 23 years old perspective who's always kinda struggling to make ends meet. With that being said, NY could possibly be the place of you have lots of money, but I still prefer LA as it's WAYYY less crowded on the transit, has the beaches nearby, absolutely great weather too. NY is currently hotter than LA these last couple days, plus the humidity and overpopulation doesn't help lol
I definitely feel connected and a sense of belonging in LA, it's my home. I felt like I've should've been raised there!
Good review, thank you! Very well structured.
Thanks for this! We're a couple from NY totally understand; face-paced hustlers. We need more insights from people that understand where we are coming from since we are looking into options in CA. Even though it's expensive there too, gotta chase what you want for youself. Great job with the editing too. Best wishes!
LA seems nice & I deff wanna visit...but there is something just so special about the energy and vibe of NYC that you can't even explain...I live in northern NJ so NYC is just a short train ride from me, I go there for MUA gigs every now and then, or to go shopping, or see a show on broadway, etc. I used to go when I was little all the time too because my mom works in the fashion square and she'd bring me to work all the time I used to love it...ah memories
I'm trying to get to LA for sure but I love NY as well!
This is so interesting. I travelled to NY and LA. You spoke my mind a 100%. This is exactly what I saw in all areas.
Im a new yorker born and raised working as an RN, it was interesting to hear your input! I hope to visit LA one day!
NYC is in the same category of Europe when it comes to fashion.
As a Jersey girl now living in SoCal I miss the East coast. NYC is the ideal city, LA is too sprawling. Doesn't feel like a real city to me. AND IT IS TOO DAMN HOT
End of rant.
Great summation. Loved the video as I look to make some sort of move soon.
I love your eye makeup!! Just WOW! That purple is glorious on your skin tone!
I want to live in L.A so so bad..and yes okay in NYC you are getting familiar about the hustle and everything but in my opinion , this city is only for Business men, rich people and celebrities
What in the what is on your eyelids?! I'm sooo loving it Ms. Maya!
Nice video. Thank you for sharing your experience!
big help! thanks maya! :-) might see ya around LA soon!
Never been to NY but with terms like "concrete jungle" being thrown around and judging from all the volatile NYers in the comment section I think I'll stick to this scenery
Matthew Ardon SAME HERE🤗
Concrete jungle is term given to certain areas of NYC not all. It's a diverse big city like any other. There's more to NYC than concrete jungles.. broaden your horizons. There are 5 borroughs with diverse areas within each.
719kai719 I prefer the wide open spaces of California!!!!!!
Less than a yr in LA is not enough to compare. It also depends where you live in LA.
- Born and Raised in LA for 30 years.
I loved how concise you were in this video. Seriously no long intro, no rambling, and you talked in such a nice way ( not saying umm alot). I subscribed! P.S. Deadass NYC is the best;)
Maya , i loved your attitude...the way u presented this video...respect..
Love this! I live in NYC but ideally would lovve to spend Winter in California!
Yes! I second this!
Falconcara There is no winter in CA. Espeically where I am from we just wear thin sweaters hahaha
Nathaly J I think that's the reason why she want to spend the winter there lol. I know that's my reason.
Nathaly J I know but your Winter is soooo much better than ours! I used to live in Australia where Winter was just like California ones. Miss that so much!

hahaha yesssss...i went to NYC to do an internship and i was so cold. my scarves from CA were a joke.
Everyone stop hating on La... A whole bunch of haters in the comment section.💀
So real! Thanks so much :)
This was so helpful. Thinking of moving to L.A. Going to check it out next week.
OMG WAS THAT MATT DALLAS FROM KYLE XY AT 2:28 ?!
It looked JUST like him!!
Brooke Anderson it is him! I saw other vlogs omg!
Yeah, she's in a movie with him. It's in her vlogs..
L.A. cheaper lol. I don't know about that.
+Marx Aur An average one bedroom apt in Manhattan usually start at $4k, whereas in LA it's $1-2k, of course it depends on location. LA isn't 'cheap', but it's cheaper than NYC.
+Devin Kyler Chance when I worked in L.A. My boss lived in Glendale which is like right next to L.A. She lived in a pretty nice apartment, that looks pretty safe.. You had to enter in a password so that the gate would open, same for the parking garage, and I think her rent was around $1,800 to $2,000.. She also has a roommate to split the cost of rent. Obviously you can't afford a place in L.A. If you're just working at McDonald's but if you have a decent job.. Then you can probably afford it.
+Devin Kyler Chance That depends where in Upper East Side a modern three bed two bath is 2.5 million or 15,000 per month
+KawaiiMochi I'm in metro Atlanta, where the COL is so much lower! I have several friends that own nearly-new homes that don't even $700 a month, with escrow! I guess I'm saying this: unless you are making really good me, why would you live in either place?

lovely way to explain , bless up maya 💯
I've only visited New York city, but I was born and raised in southern California. I think you're dead-on regarding your impression of soCal! The openness and relaxed attitudes are what I love the most. I currently live in the Upper Midwest, but someday I hope to return (of course with husband, Stephen in tow) to sunny, laid back California!
Hello Maya,
I've been wanting to ask you this question so I hope you see it! Since I know you are born in Canada, how did you make your way into the US? I am aware we need a job to be able to move to the US, but do u have any tips? advices? resources? I would love love love to see a video about this. especially since I am from Canada, and I would love to move to LA one day! thanks Maya.
I believe her father is American. If you have a Diploma, Degree or Certificate in something on the NAFTA list, you'll be able to work in the U.S. I did that, but I missed T.Dot too much to stay in Cali.
mzebony yay for the Tdot crew!!
Theres a ton of health food conscious stores and lots of great restaurants for vegans/vegetarians in Brooklyn. Lol especially the gentrified areas, like williamsburg, bushwick, fort greene, park slope, clinton hill. I always say I dont want to leave NYC, but I know that LA is where I will probably end up. In a perfect world, I would want to live in both places lol!
+Karin Nicole lol that's what I was thinking? IN LA there's a lot but many are chains; Real food daily, Native foods, so they all have multiple locations in the city, after a while its more repetitive.
Loved hearing your views in this vid. Very interesting
awesome video super spot on, I'm a Cali guy visited LA on occasion and I currently live in Brooklyn I can definitely vouch for you on all your points the hustle is REAL I definitely miss the nature from cali though good thing im visiting in a week ^__^
Born in NYC but wanna move to la
The main Thing I was worried about was the rent so that's good however I can't drive as I'm seeing impaired so lack of public transport is an issue however I have friends that can help me out but yeah Sydney's got great public transport and like la it's focused on film and TV most so in the southen area of the city so if la isit your thing try Sydney most Hollywood productions film here anyway which is handy for me but I really need to go to la if I want any major success in my career so thanks for the tips
+michael ogilvie they have Uber here so that definitely helps to get around

Great video Maya, first time on your channel. Ive been to NY but not yet LA.This vid was both Interesting and Educational haha. Thumbs Up! Xx
Good video. I love the way you highlighted the good from both cities without out dissing either one. Preferring one city does not mean you have to hate the other. Cities are supposed to be different. That's what create the uniqueness that pull us to where we want to live. Bottom line is rich people that can live anywhere choose to live in both cities and that says a lot. Thanks S.M.
Me personally I love New York City only because I have so much family there and they know everyone and anyone so it's easier for me to network and I have this one cousin that's always hooking people up with the good cheap apartments(which is rare) also I seen some heartbreaking things happen in NYC but it prepared me for the real world and it prevented me from making those mistakes. It also broke my shell and made me social and not to care what anyone thinks about me .So if anyone needs to decide I say NY FTW especially for certain careers in New York you can be anything but if you like the LA lifestyle by all means🗽
