In terms of political values, climate, amenities, and overall aesthetic and feeling, what part of the US would be the least of a change for a western European to live in? What would be the hardest for them to get used to?

That's a broad question. It really depends - are you are talking about a Spaniard or a Swede?
That'd be my guess. But the only really meaningful answer would by western European who moved to the US and experienced different regions. Otherwise all we'll have is a bunch of stereotypes.
is without a doubt the one place in America where Americans and Europeans would feel least comfortable in.
Believe me, there's nothing there except for a cluster of about 80 homes and a gas station on U.S. 82.
Also, if you'd want to rent, you'd have to rent a mobile home (if you really, really wanted to do that).
I feel that Portland, Oregon, of all the places I know about, would be the place where an city-dwelling, white, socialist Western European would feel right at home.
Few cities in the united states are most western europeans going to really feel at home. especially if they come from clean, efficient cities with very good and clean mass transit, beautiful stone historic architecture and low crime, probably not tons of diversity and they arent used to tons of guns everywhere and alot more crime.
They would like smaller towns and cities with less crime and nice scenery but it wont have the really extensive and clean mass transit you see in western europe.

Probably New England, the upper Midwest and the Pacific Northwest. Those are places that have the same sort of communitarian values. They also have the same combination of moral permissiveness in an outwardly orderly environment that you find in Germany and Scandinavia. These areas were heavily settled by the English, Germans and Scandinavians and I think the cultural threads of northwestern Europe are still noticeably present.

I know when I lived in germany people would ask me alot about florida and california,undoubtedly about the weather and silicon valley and traveling. Alot of Europeans do very well now , the days of europeans immigrating in large numbers is over. Europeans immigrated in mass when europe was in tougher times, my ancestors came from switzerland and germany and northern europe to maryland, virginia and the carolinas when there was religious persecution and a famine in switzerland and wars. Most germans and swiss and scandinavians are doing fine now
I know norwegian air does its biggest service to fort lauderdale and miami and florida but it is primarily for vacations, or maybe find a vacation home like you would get in south of spain? I would move here from europe if I was an entrepreneur and wanted to get into tech or worked in tech or just start a business. A much better entrepreneurial and start up culture in my opinion than europe has and you can have a lot more land and bigger home here than in europe, european housing doesnt tend to have much land or big houses
best response about europeans I heard in that thread but it was alot earlier for my ancestors than the 20th century
"Most Europeans have no reason to immigrate to the u.s.a. Back in the first half of the 20th century, much of Europe was economically disadvantaged, and america presented many opportunities not available in places like Italy or Ireland. Now, most European countries offer the same opportunities as america, probably more in most countries. We still have immigrants coming from Russia, the former Yugoslavia,Bosnia,etc., but for the most part Europeans have no need or desire to come here anymore.
Instead, people move here from asia, latin america and the middle east because we still have a lot to offer them in comparison to their homelands. And that's how it should be!! There seems to be a lot of americans who feel that these new non-european immigrants have no right to be here, but really they're the ones who are un-american and shouldn't be here!!"
