What is the east coast like compared to the west coast, and vice versa?

I define East Coast as washington DC to Boston, but NC and SC can be included if you want.
I define West coast and Seattle, washington down through california.

Which has more traffic? More congestion? More crowding? which has better public transportation? Which is warmer? In which area are people "nicer"? "Friendlier"?

Thanks for any input.

lol. You "define" the West Coast as literall the entire west coast but you only define the East Coast as DC to Boston? What kind of bullshit is that? It makes zero sense...

Agreed. How can you possibly leave NY, NJ, Atlanta, etc... out of the mix?

I think he meant "Northeast" rather than "East Coast." The Boston-DC megalopolis is definitely a different place than the cities of the New South...

Because it's not true. Anywhere there's standing water there's mosquitos.

Well, there are mosquitos but very very few. There are no swamps and little standing water (at least not in the southwest) so there are very few mosquitos. I hardly ever see them even during the summer.

Compared to the east they are almost non-existant here. I might get a few bites every year. Nothing compared to back east.

Yep. I was a West Coast Snob before I visited Boston and I liked it so much I moved there. The main thing I miss about California is the weather. I like short warm winters and long pleasent Springs, Summers and Falls which California has. The long cold Winters and the Short Humid Summers in N.E. are kind of tough for Californians like me to get use to but after a few years I'm finally adapting. I do like the people, the easy access to everything, the culture and especially the old style neighborhoods plus there's no greater Baseball fans than Red Sox fans!

BTW, the Earthquakes in CA are no big deal unless it's over 6.0 which are extremely rare. Anything under 6.0 is just a exciting ride!

NY and NJ are between DC and Boston

No, but they're part of the East Coast with significant influence.

one thing I have to say about the east coast is that if you're living in any major metro area, you can really do a ton without a car. I've got 2 grocery stores, 3 deli's, 2 bars and a movie theater all within walking distance to my apartment.

See, I grew up back east, upstate NY to be exact, so I know what you're talking about. Believe it or not, I've never actually been to Boston though.

The only thing I miss about the north east is the fall. That was always my favorite time of year. Indian Summer is great! :thumbsup:

I'm going on 17 years in California now. I don't think I'll ever move out of this state though. I love it here. The weather is great, the mountains are majestic, the Pacific ocean is only 10 minutes from my home and there is so much to do all year round. I've met a lot of great people and have some good friends here now. There are good people everywhere.

QFT. In California you need to have a care to do anything.Like the songs says "Nobody walks in LA"

Ok, if he meant north east, then how is "Entire West Coast vs the North East" a good comparison?

The east coast has it all. Why anyone would want to live anywhere else is a mystery.
