If you had to choose with side of the U.S. to live on, and those were the two states to choose from, which would you choose and why? And it could be anywhere in that state.
 
Yea, and because of you West Coasters, we have a 9 PM start for Monday Night Football ... damn game isn't over until Tuesday !!! Howza bout you just miss the 1st quarter when no game has ever been 'won' so I can START watching it at 8 instead ??

Smart? Better to have the ground shake than hit by hurricanes year after year.

Seriously...hell...where I live there haven't been damages from earthquakes....even the big ones. Maybe minor stuff but nothing really. The most damage done by natural disasters around here was when I was a kid a wind storm tore off a piece of sheet metal from my grandfather's shop. It was a very old shop.
 
"All visitors are welcome to Oregon. When your stay is over, you are welcome to return to your home."

Seriously, we have no sales tax, beautiful mountains (skiing), fishing, hunting, white water rafting, and warmer winters. We have less humidity in the summer, but lots of rain in the winter (West of Cascades). On the East side it is much hotter in the summer and drier in winter. If you are looking for a metro area then your only prospect is Portland. However, many find Eugene quite wonderful. As far as beaches go, they are uncrowded, beautiful, and cold.

No, you can't pump your own gas, but who would want to? When it's cold and rainy then you can stay in a warm and dry car. Also, you don't have people smoking as they try to blow themselves up.

Away from Portland, the traffic is light for the most part.

On the downside, the K-12 has a poor student to teacher ratio. Try about 30+ to 1. The quantity of rain, freezing rain, and sometimes fog can get to you after awhile. The summer ends after Labor Day. There are about 15 days over 90 degrees for the whole summer on the West side (for those who like it warm). To the South it is much warmer.

That's about all that I can think of right now.

Go ahead - I promise not to take anything personally.


Unless you lie, in which case I'll go online and have the Post Office forward your mail to New Orleans. 😉
 
Why Pennsylvania in particular? I would probably choose Oregon over PA, but given many other upper East Coast states (NJ, MA, ME, RI, NH) I would choose to stay on the east coast.
 
I lived in Oregon for a number of years and the whole state sucks major ass.

What no-one admits to is that it rains/drips/dizzles/fog mist about 280 days in the Willamette valley which houses Eugene, Albany, Salem, and Portland. Roughly 80% of the states population.

Take that into consideration along with the drugged out stoner hippies, abundance of redneck white trash, and low paying wages as unemployement is very high. And well, thank you very much I'll find a better place to live.

Never been to PA so I wouldn't know.

QFT! I've lived in SoCal for the past 16 years. I think a candlestick fell over once during an earthquake. How many hurricanes have been through Florida during that time?
