Is the US East Coast better than the West Coast?

New York City is a true multicultural city (possibly the only one in this country) and people there love their roots. Los Angeles is just a rootless city with Mexicans and Asians who don't integrate. It has many earthquakes, wildfires and smog too.

And Boston, despite its homogeneous image, is more diverse than Seattle. The former also has many good foods, sports, awesome hospitals, and lots of history and tourist attractions. Lots of Irish, Italian, Greek, Portuguese, Asian, Haitian, Lebanese, etc. Speaking of Seattle, it's just a damp, run down city full of grumpy white people and a shell of its former self. Only known for a has-been musical genre in the early 1990s. It's also ready for a volcanic eruption, like California is ready for a monster earthquake.

And don't start with San Francisco!

Also, people on the West Coast support a permanent confinement, even long after the pandemic....like it's their sexual kink. Gavin Newsom says this idea isn't off the table.

    Demons grow human skin (from a sample taken during abduction) and put it on so as to look like us. Demons will invite people to be healed inside their UFOs; those who go will be like zombies after. Gov't provides demons with diamonds and allows demons to abduct people. If you're being abducted, slowly pray the Jesus prayer. Don't panic. Demons use diamonds and souls to power their UFO craft. The bigger the diamond, the more it lasts. Demons have 4 UFO bases: 1)moon 2)inside fake mountain Kailash (Tibet) 3)in lake Baikal in Russia 4)in Atlantis which is underneath double ocean floor of Mariana Trench (Pacific Ocean). There are no aliens. Nobody lives on other planets. Airplanes that go down are hit by demons because they need the airspace to fight Jesus.

    Actually, many large cities in the US are multicultural and that isn't just limited to the East or West Coasts any longer. Need to get out more.

    East Coast sucks côck. It’s a shithole of never ending cities. The cities on the west coast aren’t any better but the Pacific Time Zone is superior. PS grunge was the best music ever created.

    Both the East Coast and the West Coast are extremely varied places. Technically, the East Coast stretches from the Maine-Canada border to the tip of Florida. That's an immense distance, and there are many differences between the climate, the landforms, and the people along that stretch of coastline. Generally speaking, when most people use the term "the East Coast", they're referring to the Northeast specifically, i.e.: the cities of the Mid-Atlantic Region and New England. Boston and New York are the two most important East Coast cities, followed by Philadelphia - which technically isn't on the coast, and maybe we could put Baltimore and Washington, D.C. on the list, but most people don't include the outlying areas like Upstate New York, central or western Pennsylvania, or any of the Southeast in their definition of "East Coast." 

    The West Coast goes from the California-Mexico border to the Washington State-Canada border. But let's face it, there are essentially only a few distinct regions of the West Coast - southern California (including San Diego and Los Angeles), the Bay Area and its environs (San Francisco, San Jose, etc.), Seattle and the surrounding area, and the sparsely populated area in between the Bay Area and Seattle consisting of northern California, Oregon, and the Washington State coast. Most people wouldn't lump inland areas with the West Coast, even if they're satellite cities and towns that are connected to bigger cities. 

    Going by these accepted definitions that are in common use, the East Coast is infinitely better than the West Coast in practically every way that it's possible to weight the two against each other. The East Coast has more history, more culture, more character, better food, and a four season climate. The people on the East Coast are more genuine, and there's a lot more condensed into a smaller area. The West Coast may arguably have a more temperate climate, but even that is a big generalization - Los Angeles and Seattle are nothing alike in terms of climate, it's just that neither place gets the extremes that people have to deal with in the East. There are no blizzards and it doesn't dip below freezing for weeks on end for part of the year. Aside from that, the West Coast is nowhere near as exciting or as dynamic. The cities are much more modern (for the most part, there are exceptions), and so there's much less history. The people are nowhere near as full on or as forthcoming which means that they can come off as flaky and boring and even downright fake or vacuous to others. Of course in terms of culture the West Coast is far behind. It's dismal when comparing food - the cuisine of places like New York City, Boston, and Philadelphia completely destroys the weak food scene on the West Coast which would be known for nothing but fresh fish if it wasn't for California's claim to halfway decent Mexican food. 

    There's some nice scenery on the West Coast and it's nice to be able to swim and ski in the same 24 hour period, but I wouldn't trade the more majestic scenic vistas for having to deal with everything that comes along with them. The East Coast is the oldest part of the country and preserves the character of the nation more than anyplace else. While people may see vast portions of it as the largest urban conurbation in the country and essentially just a sprawling built up mess, that's because they never bothered to learn that's just dead wrong. The beaches on Long Island, the Jersey Shore, and places farther south are just as beautiful as those along the Pacific Coast, and I would argue that the coast of Maine offers scenery more beautiful than anything the West Coast has. Everyone is bound to have his or her own criteria for comparing the two, but for me, it's the East Coast, hands down, all day, every day.

    NYC isn't a true multi-cultural city. 

    It's a segmented city.  People from different cultures don't do a lot of intermingling.

    Like most places, it depends which bit of it you go to.

    New York, New Jersey + the New England states seem to be just as bad as California, Oregon & Washington for electing politicians with ambitions that exceed their abilities and inadvertently make life more expensive for ordinary folks as a result, with Virginia possibly heading in a similar direction via Governor Black-face.

    South Carolina, Georgia, Florida + Texas appear fairly decent places to live.

    San Francisco, and parts of southern California, have many people from all over the world. It’s just as multicultural, if not even more so, than NYC. We also have nicer weather.
