NYC. LA is filled with vapid people, wall to wall smog, gridlock, and sprawl.
Though, the correct answer is: neither.
I'll take living in the mountains of NC...
(less than two miles from my house)

NYC sucks...I hate living here sometimes. It's waaaaay too expensive for what you have to deal with =(.
Nah, the amount of people I don't want to see naked is far greater than the number of people I would. Lots of uggos in this world.

Maybe NYC? They both have their benefits of course.
LA has perfect weather, beaches, gorgeous parks and things to do outside of town. SF, San Diego, etc are nearby. However, it's a city full of entitled jackasses in a lot of ways. It's very expensive to live in nicer areas and owning a house in a reasonable area (at least where I'd want to live here) costs at least a million for even a tiny place (house - not condo).
NYC has great a transportation system and a better atmosphere from what I can tell the times I've been there. However it gets cold and hot as fuck there. It's also crazy expensive, more than LA.
Edit: after thinking more, I may like LA more. But SF and other areas might be even better.

New York New, York big city of dreams
And everything in New York ain't always what it seems
You might get fooled if you come from out of town
But I'm down by law, and I'm from the Dogg Pound

if you want the authentic feeling of a NYC mugging the Bronx is your best bet.. Bensonhurst & Gravesend Brooklyn > Bronx

LA is pretty scary, never been to NY but that looks kinda scary too.
Now this would actually be interesting

I lived in NYC for a couple years prior to first grade.
Returned there after high-school and stayed for 10 years.
This should qualify me as an NYC poster.
So your answer is LA-GAF?

This is a really old streotype of TheBronx that I hate, not all of The Bronx is bad.
No LA, no movie industry.
Also, Los Angeles was built over a desert. It's true. I guess that makes it an oasis.

That you thought that your joke functioned is a good example of the vapidity of that awful place. You see, you had a decent premise, but you failed in execution. Sorry.
NYC!
Oh and Phoenix as the 6th largest city in the country is total BS. It's hardly a "city".
Population: 1,445,632
Area: 517.948 sq m
And for example, Pittsburgh...
Population: 305,704
Area: 58.3 sq m
Let's look at all of Allegheny County.
Population: 1,223,348
Area: 745 sq m
Places like Phoenix and LA should be classified as sprawl not a city.

What do you have to deal with that's so bad? I wanna see how many blatantly avoidable things are on your list.
NYC - people actually use the sidewalks! what a novelty for a densely populated urban area! also, over the last 10 years we've drastically increased the amount of bike lanes and pedestrian plazas to make the city even more inviting to explore.
and for urban renewal, LA has the Los Angles River.
NYC has the Highline - http://www.thehighline.org/

"Los Angeles is full of vapid, shallow people."
Only people who have never lived in Los Angeles say this. It's idiotic, and completely untrue. Maybe the A- and B-listers out in Malibu are assholes, but by and large, normal people never deal with them. Most people here are motivated and hard-working.
I lived in NYC for nine months, and that's the city full of assholes. Holy shit. I took a few seconds in a sandwich line deciding if I wanted mayonnaise and the entire line starting screaming at me.
