NYC versus LA: Patt Morrison & WNYC's Jim O'Grady continue the debate

It’s the Big Apple versus the Big Orange, the big city bustle New York versus the allure of Los Angeles and Southern California.

Usually people argue over which city is superior, but Patt Morrison and WNYC’s Jim O’Grady decided to debate whose got it worse. From the weather and the sports teams, to the civic leadership of San Diego mayor Bob Filner and New York mayoral hopeful Anthony Weiner, Patt and Jim go head to head.
