Definitely fair.

They are. I have more friends in LA than I did in DC.

>>• Traffic (DC ain't great, but it ain't L.A)

I actually object to this one. I genuinely prefer the 405 to the Beltway.

Yeah, and you didn't even mention the comedy scene here. DC has little-to-no comedy scene. Source: me, when I was briefly tackling the DC comedy scene.

I have no real opinion on this either way, as I love the dining both places.

I guess, but I live on the Westside, and there's a healthy amount of green over here.

For real. I would've gone with gilly face jpg myself.

Not entirely convinced this is true, as all my single friends out here have zero trouble finding action... but I met my wife while hitting on girls in DC, so I'll defer.

>>• Good, high-paying job market

>better than LA?

Probably true, though I'm getting paid way better out in LA than I was in DC, so I'm good.

>>• Bike-friendly (if you care about that shit)
>
>fine. we getting better tho

Westside is insanely bike-friendly... all the way to Beverly Hills, honestly. I do wish it was more bike-friendly overall, though-- the hills make biking out here harder than in DC, but you also don't want to bike in the snow/rain/winter, whereas in LA it's year-round, so it's a wash, imo.
