[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]former Angelino here.  I have lived there many years and am a recent transplant to the DC area (although I was also an intern here a while ago).

I'm just going to comment on LA and DC and leave NYC out of it since I haven't actually lived there.

Of course LA is going to be more hip, since it's big industry is a creative one, namely, entertainment.  And fashion.  Etc.

DC is where real things happen, not imaginary, fake things.  People in DC are actually doing real work that will make a difference in the world (whether for good or ill).  Fashion would be an extra thing that is separate to what's happening here, while in LA, fashion is either the main focus or a tangental focus to what many people are doing.

In LA, politics and military are not an industry, so in my experience, you don't get as high of a percentage of people as knowledgable about politics and military as in DC.

If you are in love with fashion and fashionable people, you may want to consider LA.  Just know, as I have learned, that there will always be someone more fashionable than you.  No matter what.  It really can waste a lot of time in one's life, when, imo, other things are more important.  [/quote]

Thanks for the input and long, helpful response.  I know it can be annoying to be in a fashion competition with others, but at the same time I am just sick of feeling like my creative side is completely misunderstood by the majority of individuals here. I am not at all into politics or the military, I think as a consequence of having a father who worked with the government growing up.  There are things I love about DC, the surrounding countryside, the heavy intellectualism, but I just feel so creatively stifled in terms of meeting other creatively minded people.  I have been thinking about LA for a while so that might be where I try to move.  [/quote]
