  • 枫下茶话 / 美国话题 / Which location is better, Los Angeles area or Portland Oregon area? -singapura(rainy forest); 2012-6-7 {470} (#7573761@0)
    I have two offers from a Los Angeles office and another office in Portland Orgeon. Have been struggling which location is better. I like Portland area for its cooler weather, more foilage, and most importantly short distance to Vancouver BC and affordable housing. But I don't like many old residential areas in the city. I like Los Angeles for its sunny and warm weather, big Chinese community like Toronto, but it's far from Canada and expensive to buy a house here.
    • do you like cooler weather or warm weather after all? -aol(华裔旅美新加侨); 2012-6-7 (#7574807@0)
      • LA is a little too warm during mid day on sunny days, although morning time and evening time are very pleasant. After having lived in LA for 5 months, I do miss cool kind of weather in Vancouver, Canada. -singapura(rainy forest); 2012-6-8 (#7576701@0)
        • you must be living at the inland area, beach side is much better. The highest temperature in my city is actually lower than Toronto in most summer days. -aol(华裔旅美新加侨); 2012-6-8 (#7577627@0)
        • Weather is a factor but job market is more important. Although the bad weather in great-lake areas, this region still attract many EE/ME professionals and feed up the most “real” engineering jobs but other regions couldn’t. -freener(合适); 2012-6-8 (#7577802@0)
          • LZ 不是不愁工作机会么？都有Offer的前提下两个城市选一。 -aol(华裔旅美新加侨); 2012-6-8 (#7578212@0)
    • What i understand, in CA, LA is the worst city to live among the three major cities, SF, SD and LA -wu831(NA); 2012-6-7 (#7575425@0)
      • I thought La might be the best city over the world. Otherwise why the half of state population live around La. but,A lots of Americans even didn't know where portland is -freener(合适); 2012-6-7 (#7575582@0)

          • google不易，慰问一下先。 -aol(华裔旅美新加侨); 2012-6-7 (#7575923@0)
          • I lived in Vancouver and Toronto for several years each. I feel LA area and SF area are beautiful. You can do lots of things with the sunny and warm weather. That make big difference in the winter. -singapura(rainy forest); 2012-6-8 (#7576913@0)
            • 真实的生活过和只有个印象然后google一下统计数据，结论必然不同。 -aol(华裔旅美新加侨); 2012-6-8 (#7577784@0)
              • Every americans i talks with, white, Latino and black, some visit CA before, -wu831(NA); 2012-6-8 {123} (#7578276@0)
                Some born in LA and lived in LA for long time before. All of them told me SF first, then SD then LA without any hesitation.
                • 在白人眼里，LA是被亚裔老墨老黑门占领的城市；在老墨眼里，这是个帮会gangster横行的城市；在老黑眼里，这是个被警察严重种族歧视，罗泥金被暴打的城市；是牛伯伯对还是小松鼠对，还是自己过一次河就知道啦。 -aol(华裔旅美新加侨); 2012-6-8 (#7578589@0)
                  • yes, your are right, seems like that. One more thing is the bad traffic -wu831(NA); 2012-6-8 (#7578621@0)
      • 这个比较有趣，圣迭哥和LA太近，中间又是很城市化的地区，一般不太分，而统称SoCal。这么说就象说安省三大城市多伦多，密西沙加，渥太华里多伦多较差似的。其实密巿和多市生活，气候都是很接近的，不知比较从何而来。 -aol(华裔旅美新加侨); 2012-6-7 (#7575816@0)
      • There are basically only SF and LA. San Diego is kind of extension of LA. If you are saying LA is the worst, you are really saying LA is not as good as SF. But LA and SF are both so large, each area has beautiful places and rough places. -singapura(rainy forest); 2012-6-8 {1} (#7576700@0)

    • 看你具體在LA哪個city。區別是很大的。 -kevin_ge(Kevin); 2012-6-7 (#7575583@0)
      • I know what you mean. I have been living here for the last 5 months, although I just received permenant stafff offer just now. I work and live in Pasadena area. Pasadena area is a very neat area. Most places in LA area are nice, except maybe city of LA. -singapura(rainy forest); 2012-6-8 (#7576702@0)
        • Pasadena is a very good city. You may have your kids study in CIT later. -kevin_ge(Kevin); 2012-6-8 (#7576723@0)
    • Just to conclude my own topic. I have made final decision to stay in Los Angeles area where I have been living for the last 5 months. Overall the entire Los Angeles area is a very beautiful garden city. I live in Arcadia. -singapura(rainy forest); 2012-6-13 (#7590418@0)
