Austin TX is basically the west coast and feels like it, so its west coast. And please dont ever say Texas is southern its a western state we dont want that association eww
I've lived in much of the US and to me, the West Coast is the best place to live and I have no desire to return to the South where I was raised except to visit.

I heard Texas doesn't want any west coast or California influence... places like Austin. They are conservative and want to keep their cities as Texas as possible. They are anti California and anti west coast!
I've stated my opinion on this a lot here, and I'm not going to give another 2 cents, but I'm interested in what City-Data in general thinks. My perception is that the western states, and California, Oregon and Washington in particular, are viewed both by the nation's populace in general and by City-Data posters as being a sort of Shangri-La of easy living, educated and tolerant people, and good weather and economic opportunities.
Why or why not does the West Coast have a better quality of life compared to the Midwest, South and Northeastern states?
My perception is a bit different. West coast has its merits for sure. But that it's a "Shangri-La" is a stretch at best, based mostly on TV shows and false perceptions. It's not a knock, just some of these over-inflated images are just not true (like the Shangri-La image). It has its good AND bad just like any other region.
I rank quality of life for west coast areas as follows... Wisonsin (best), Minnesota, Iowa, Austin. After that, there's a huge dropoff.
LMAO ruthless
