    West Coast is best coast! People are generally a lot more chill than east coast. If you’re of a particular age, just consider Tupac vs. Biggie. Their personalities sum it up nicely.

    Work-wise, business in the US will already be underway when you get to work, and starts dying down after your lunch. If you interact with people on the east coast, mornings are busier and afternoons are much quieter.

    West Coast is generally more racially/ethnically diverse, depending on where you’re comparing. It’s also a lot more liberally aligned. Conservativism hits differently too. There’s less evangelical “Jesus is my personality” types and more “get off my property and leave me alone” conservatives. It’s how legal weed was passed in CO first; conservatives joined in on the yes vote because what you do in your own home isn’t the government’s business.

    The weather is generally better, IMO. It’s drier and sunnier year-round, except for the PNW region. That means less vegetation though. The dense deciduous forests of the south/east have their own appeal, and you just won’t get that out west. The land is a lot more open and sparse.
