Dude, this isn't a pissing contest. In fact, it's not even a competition. It's "which do you prefer." The West Coast to me is so much more interesting and livable and enjoyable than the East.
If people only lived places according to what "wins" on an internet forum, then the West wouldn't have drawn so many people from the East. Myself and a lot of others, it seems, actually find life on the West Coast preferable to the East, and don't give a **** how "important" it is.
Also, the whole history argument is so bogus since A. America has no history compared to most other parts of the world, so the ~100 year difference between East and West is a blip on the global timeline, and B. Most people in the US live in the same suburban crap landscape whether its on the east or west or middle or wherever. The average person on the East coast doesn't live in Paul Revere's house.
you spoke about teenagers being on this forum meanwhile you sound like one yourself.
the main point of the persons post was that people on the west or people who vote the west for most of the matter do it because of weather.
Weather does not determine a cities greatness alone. FACT, and like the person above said sf weather is wack , and also a man from Oregon told me it rains nearly more then anything in Seattle
The great thing is the West Coast has everything........not just crowded old cities.....
great so the east has no scenary just crowded old cities. . Thats funny because i do security at a snowboarding store in soho and every week theirs a mountain to go up to in ny state.
As a current West Coaster, please nineties flava, give it up. The West coast can't compete on GDP with the East.
It is however preferable to many based on lifestyle, culture, and other quality of life factors. Again, that's why people live here. The weather and scenery are nice, but the thing that really makes the West great is the cultural open-ness, the creativity, the outsider-ness of the place. The East is stodgy and stale in comparison, and personally I find that boring.
to bad your idealogy of east coast is based of generalizations. Because i know for a fact nyc is more fun then anything in the west coast besides beaches.
And everyone I know on the east coast wants to move west. So what are you saying? East coast is not better than the west coast in "every category". The cities in the east are dirty and old, the people are generally not as friendly, and as has already been discussed there is much less scenery and the weather is not as nice.
please just stop talking please.
i work in all the tourist sections of nyc and meet west coasters everyday who would prefer the east over anything about west and bash their largest city(l.a) as if it were some type of Detroit.
wow showing starett city which located next to one of nyc most dangerous neighborhoods is not a good example. well actually starret city is part of one of nyc,s most dangerous area east new york.
