I'm partial to the South. There's just nothing about the West Coast that makes me want to live there. San Diego and SF are nice places to visit but all the action is definitely on the East Coast. New York, DC, all of Florida, Boston etc. are all a $99 plane ride or day trip away. I prefer southern hospitality, real BBQ, being at the center of the college football/basketball universe, and warm caring people. When I think of California I envision ultra liberal image-centric atheists living very expensive, very plastic lives. I know that everybody's not like that of course ;-)

I'd take CA weather any day
Uh what...? CT hasn't had a blizzard since 2013 and before that, it was 2006. Chilly temps in winter yes, but not a few dozen degrees below zero... it is not Minnesota..

I'll take the statistical high quality of life in CT, MA, NY than the mediocrity of other areas..

yes, Mexico's sovereignty was run run roughshod over back in the 1840's by the illegal invaders from the East...nice to see them taking back what's theirs but more repatriations need to be provided to the Native Americans...perhaps giving them all the bridges would be a good start

Paycheck to paycheck living, few good paying jobs (Even IT workers are struggling in San Francisco), Fiscally unsustainable government, hellish traffic, crowded schools, toll roads, rude closed minded people. No thanks.
You mean places like Oregon, California, Washington, and Colorado? There's one thing in common those places have: They are ran by liberals and filled with liberals.

Texas isn't in the west, let alone on the coast.
