Someday I hope to leave this benighted, ugly craphole by the sea, with its hideous Victorian architecture and its nasty Dungeness crabs and its wretched lack of cold and snow and mosquitoes, and move to the Arcadian paradise that is Flint, where rivers flow with milk and honey and flying unicorns poop dollar bills that rain down gently upon the populace.
You're forgetting about Detroit and the Canadian tourists.
I try very hard to forget about Detroit... thanks for reminding me . The other 85% of the State is NOTHING like the SE corner.
I don't mind all the Canadian tourists, they are generally friendly and other than driving like Mario Andretti, there is little not to like about them.
You could honestly say most of this stuff for the east as well.
Maybe for a few of them ... but where in the east are the deserts and prairies? The Grand Canyon? The mountains ... the real mountains. Those are the things that make it awesome. Emphasis on the awe.
The west as a whole does have much better weather, the colder parts of the west have powder snow while the cold parts of the east have heavy watery snow.

I suppose I'll believe you.

Yes, I too live in a border-state and know exactly what you mean (except for the "generally friendly" part).
Diversity in california and PNW is a plus. No matter where in cali you go there are always a sizable amount of asians. even deep in the inland empire there are more asians then the typical st.louis neighbourhood.
Amazing nature-Mountains, hills, canyons, deserts, plaines, everything is to an extreme here.
People are generally friendly
I hate the western u.s sometimes because of its heat and its lack of major history. It seems like the pnly cities with any real history dating back before the 1900's are SF, seattle, denver and LA but only sf seems to have a good amount of it.

These are stunningly arrogant contentions.
The Western U.S. does indeed have interesting historical value beyond the cities you highlight, especially in addition to the history that predates the establishment of territories and statehoods.
