ya i understand what you mean that both coasts are great. the east coast has the denseness and the american culture while the west coast has more scenery on the direct coastline.
so what are those hills/mountains in the background on NYC. i don't think i've ever seen them before. no offense but that can't really compare to Vancouver, Seattle, or LA in the winter, although Manhattan alone doesn't need anything to make the skyline beautiful
I think they are a part of the appalachain mountains, not sure though. And there is no way theses even begin to compare to mountains in LA, SD, Vancouver,ect... These are just hills, not mountains
The West for me, also. Those aren't comparable hills or mountains, but that is a wonderful picture of a city I don't even respect! Let's please keep the pics to a minimum on each post.
This thread has continued its downward spiral, how unexpected, lol.
The east coast and west coast 'repaid' Middle America for saving them from Germany and Japan during WWII by, of course, doing in "Grandma Millie" (a la Enron). The joke is on them ... the east and west coasts produce so little of cultural or economic value other than crappy Hollywood films and sham mergers/buyouts that never last. Much of my useful academic/cultural/industrial products are imported from overseas (Britain, Germany, and Japan).
The east and west coasts are two parts of the same dumbbell. Chicago must be guarded against the continual predations by NYC and LA at all costs.

Hmmmmm.
What if the United States happened to split into 3 countries: East America, West America, and Middle America. Would you think that Middle America would be the most well off? Serious question.
east coast doesn't have any hills. we're talking about hills right on the ocean. the east coast doesn't have that.
Nope but the great cities that make up the Boston-Washington megapolis are between the hills and the ocean. The East Coast has many cities close by unlike the West where they are far apart with almost nothing in between.
Mountains are overrated. My ears kept popping on my trek out West because of the elevation. It is simply too high in some parts. I don't understand why people like to live up that high. I prefer living near sea level and none of the Pacific Coastal cities are anywhere near sea level--it's just water covered mountains.
On my trip to Chicago, I couldn't wait to arrive in the flat land on the lake because the hills in OK, KS, MO, IA, and downstate IL were getting old.

Its people like this that make me embarressed sometimes about the type of people in chicago. Nothing valid to point out, except that he gives more evidence to people who say Chicago has an inferiority complex.

??? California and New York alone lost almost 50,000 citizens in World War 2. Or do you mean from an industrial standpoint? I don't know about the East Coast, but the West Coast was a hub of military industry during World War 2 (and still is). Geographically speaking, it's financially prohibitive to build things like aircraft carriers and submarines in the Midwest.
If you're talking about modern economies, I don't know where you're coming from when you say "the east and west coasts produce so little of cultural or economic value other than crappy Hollywood films and sham mergers/buyouts that never last." I know it's a repeated so often as to have become a cliche, but California is the 7th largest economy in the world. Agriculture is by far our largest industry, (twice as large as entertainment), but it would be neglectful to not include aerospace and the tech sector. Plus, New York is, well, New York. Added together, the GSP (gross state product) of New York and California is higher then the next 7 states combined (not including Texas, because, while it's technically in the middle, it's also a coastal state and in the South, which isn't usually considered Middle America).
West coast baby! Actually, both coasts are great and very different, but I would probably give the west a slight edge:
