title: How do I combine two lists that are unequal in length?
body: <p>I have two lists that I'm trying to combine, one is a list of cities, and another is a list of states.  </p>
  
  <p>Here's what my city list looks like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>print(combined_city_list)
  [['Los Angeles', 'Long Beach', 'Anaheim'], ['Dallas', 'Fort Worth'], ['Miami', 'Fort Lauderdale'], ['Minneapolis', 'St Paul'], ['Louisville', 'Jefferson County'], ['North Port', 'Sarasota', 'Bradenton'], ['Winston', 'Salem'], ['Santa Maria', 'Santa Barbara'], ['Crestview', 'Fort Walton Beach', 'Destin'], ['Macon', 'Bibb County'], ['Champaign', 'Urbana'], ['Lafayette', 'West Lafayette'], ['California', 'Lexington Park'], ['Pinehurst', 'Southern Pines'], ['Hermiston', 'Pendleton'], ['Wisconsin Rapids', 'Marshfield'], ['Arkansas City', 'Winfield']]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>Here's what my state list looks like:</p>
  
  <pre><code>print(combined_state_list)
  [[' CA'], [' TX'], [' FL'], [' MN'], [' KY'], [' FL'], [' NC'], [' CA'], [' FL'], [' GA'], [' IL'], [' IN'], [' MD'], [' NC'], [' OR'], [' WI'], [' KS']]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This is what I've tried:</p>
  
  <pre><code>combined_state_short = [i[0] for i in combined_state_list]
  
  combined_city_state = []
  for c, s in zip (combined_city_list, combined_state_list):
      for i in c:
          combined_city_state = str(i) + ',' + str(s)
  
  print(combined_city_state)
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I get this as the output:</p>
  
  <pre><code>Winfield,[' KS']
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>I want something like this:</p>
  
  <pre><code>['Los Angeles, CA', 'Long Beach, CA' ...]
  </code></pre>
