But even South Florida gets that winter chill for a few days every winter...Hawaii never sees this. So even so, not really a comparison. And while Florida is pretty it cannot compare to Hawaii.
LOL! I read this then looked at your screen name.
There are plenty of areas in which Hawaii "can not compare" to Florida... which is why it really annoys me when people say a certain area "can not compare" or is better "hands down".
It is sad how people try to put preferences into absolute terms.

Not everywhere out West is arid...ever heard of Seattle? LEAGUES more beautigul than anything out East.
Very true, the Seattle area is very green.
And I find it amusing that everyone paints with a broad brush and says the west is so arid and ugly, that the east wins because it is green. Well the western halves of Washington, Oregon, as well as the northern 1/3rd of California are very green- every bit as green as the northeast and then some. Dense vegetation everywhere, rain forests, waterfalls everywhere, etc.
Yes! No place at all in the east even holds a candle to what can be found in places like the Seattle area.

That is true that the vegetation in those areas is pretty dense. However, any map of wooded areas will show that there is a much broader area of tree cover in the east than the west. Experience also confirms this.
I really do love most Palm Trees, but some of the really tall and lanky ones with just the one ball of green on the top are not very pretty IMO.
The ones on the East Coast, Gulf and Carribean look much nicer to me than some of those towering ones found in California and out West (although Cali has so many different kinds-most of which I do love). And there is something kind of awesome about those towering ones too-just not my preference.

True, but I was just stating that it's not true that all of the west is dry/arid as some are trying to say- that there is a considerable area in the west that is in fact lush/green/forested. In fact Washington has the only temperate rain forests in the lower 48 states.

Again, it is a matter of preference. Neither area is "leagues more beautigul" than the other. You guys out west are hilarious.
AGAIN, this thread is NOT "east vs. west, which is more beautiful?"... It just asks for people that find the east more beautiful, and because some people do, you guys out west get all offended and have to tell us how stupid we are for finding an area more beautiful than another and you guys try to "prove us wrong".
Talk about an obvious inferiority complex. *Which is hilarious given how superior you claim your area is...*
Lets try it back and see how much you like it, the Everglades are LEAGUES more beautigul than anything out west.
