If I ever moved to the west coast, I'd probably run out of anything interesting to discuss with anyone. Scenery and weather gets old very quickly. As do sterile cities.

The contrasting bitterness and arrogance that defines seemingly every Mid-Atlantic and Northeastern city gets old, too. People are rude and spiteful but somehow that's twisted as "genuine" and preferable to mountains and sunshine. Keep living a lie if you want to.

What do you mean? When we start to get bored by the weather and scenery, we call each other from our convertibles to talk about the new menu at applebees.

Ew, so tacky. On the east coast, they communicate via carrier pigeon to discuss hot dog carts. That's like so much more history and culture, ya know?
In high school we went camping and hiking in Northern California and it was one of the most traumatizing things I've done in my life. I'll die happy if I never see the "scenic wilderness" ever again.
The people are "different" and don't dress well and lack proper east coast (NE/NE) social ettiquite, culture, tradition. Also, as someone who likes to travel, I find it too isolated. Something about that region just feels so lonely.. I wasn't suprised to read that the West had the highest suicide rate in the US.
Let's see California has faced the most severe problems imaginable everything from almost complete economic collapse,natural disasters, to run away illegal immigration,noticable infrastucture decay..yet all the while still maintains the highest number of high dollar properties and the most billionaires. That's just sex appeal.I would love to see any other state still even remain on it's knees after such damning issues....Proof that beauty as vapid as it may be still holds the upper hand.
East coast is my home,likely for life, so i had to go with it. the West coast is beautiful and San Francisco is gorgeous, but the culture is very different, and home will always be home.
Let's face it, everyone in the US lives in boring-ass suburbia. I'd rather live in boring-ass suburbia in the beautiful West (and have a chance of walking to something since the houses are much closer together out west) than boring-ass suburbia in the East.
Also, since the metros are less sprawling in the West, there's less unspoiled nature than out here. In California, I really like being able to go to places where no-one lives for miles and miles around, which was really hard when I was living in the Northeast near Boston. But that's just my personal preference, I would imagine other people like having more room and more everyday access to suburban-style nature like you get out East (small segments of forests in the back yard, stuff like that).
