I'm not concerned with the many miles of non major-city land in this thread.
I am curious to know what general characteristics are different between each
region? What makes them "Southern" (for example) structurally and/or culturally?
Heres an example:
West Coast cities:
Generally more relaxed, liberal, younger, and white collar.
Southern cities:
Big spring break destinations, laid back, letting the good times roll, crime is always a big problem.
East Coast Cities: (Not just NYC)
Fast moving, big talkers, aggressive. A good mix of white and blue collar.
Midwestern Cities:
Plenty of blue collar jobs, but not completely blue collar. Cold, "generally" more friendly. More liberal, but a different kind of liberal than Cali.
West Coast cities: Relaxed but competitive in business & technology, great public research schools, Asian influence, cosmo, modern buildings/design, etc.
Southern cities:
Focus on charm, friendliness, family, old fashioned institutions, values/tradition.
East Coast Cities:
Fast moving, big talkers, aggressive.
Midwestern Cities:
Slower to change, not much desirability for young, progressive, educated liberal population. Not totally rust belt but plenty of it there.
Very sorry, but there are endless threads that can be found via a search here that will cover every bit of this and more, so there is no need to start another one that compares the differences in regions. Please do a search and add to the existing threads rather than create another one. Thank you.
