The West has beautiful mountains, beautiful weather, the nicest beaches, places where you get your money's worth. We don't have that here along the East Coast. The closest we have to Cali is Florida, which is DISCUSTING.

The only thing we have here that is worth keeping is New York City and that's only because of Central Park's overwhelming captivating beauty. You can buy a house in Arizona that is 4x the size of a New York State's suburban houses and ALSO have great weather and natural beauty. As long as I can take my snow with me, I am fantastic.


PS. We DEFINITELY drive like a___holes and most East Coasters ARE very rude. In few places they aren't, but in most places they are. You'll find though, that all over our country, people are not as welcoming to "transplants" or out-of-towners. People consider them nuissances and it shouldn't be that way.

Maggie&Jerry,
So much hostility in your voice when you said "wtf"! It was just a question and I only asked it in response to the post below, lighten up already:

I don't find anything pretty about dying plants because of the oppressive sun and lack of water because there are too many people.

I also don't find much pretty about shades of brown.

If sunsets are the best that this place has to offer, first of all I don't see the point in living somewhere for a sunset. Second, how often would you get to see it when all the housing here is a bunch of houses crammed in 10 feet away from each other.

How sad for you to live in such an oppressive place. Here's a clue. Not everybody in Arizona lives in whatever ghetto you live in.

Here are some non-sunset pictures for odinloki, who doesn't seem to get out of the city much and thinks everything is brown.





Of course, beauty is in the eye of the beholder. What's beautiful to me, may be brown and ugly to you. However, one should never be so arrogant as to think theirs is the sole definition of beauty.

Here's something you don't see every day.
