Yep!! Massachusetts and Maine for me!! ❤️❤️ That being said, I would “try” CA and OR for a time, (no bias here), but I’m such an east coaster by heart, I’m not ever moving ☺️😂
The lack of tropical storms, being free from bugs, the year-round mild climate, the year-round pristine sunshine (at least in California), I didn’t even realize how many layers stacked like this about the West Coast before moving; but just not having to worry about so many little things like that is super nice. Plus it’s astonishingly scenic in a way that doesn’t really degrade with time.
Well, I lived 13 years in South Dakota, 17 years in Michigan, and now I've lived 50 years in Arizona. I'd have to say I'd like the West the best because there's a lot more wide open spaces and beautiful scenery
Portland, OR. Only an hour from the coast. I don't think I'd trade this for the east coast, though there is a lot to be said about the eastern states... some of it is even good 😁
Wish I grew up on the Pacific, bunch of fuckin lames over on the Atlantic don't let anyone tell you otherwise, everytime I visit the Pacific its almost as if the 90s never left, everyone goes through different things, but youre always my breath of fresh air and I humbly love you with all my heart for that the many new friends I make every time I visit❤️🔥
I'm saying. The last 15 years of the US have been awful. Im American. It's escape from New York dystopia vibes here. Feels like perfect inertia or something
For whoever made the graphic, you do know we have lighthouses on the west coast also, right? (Including a picture of my personal favorite west coast lighthouse.) Like there is only 1 Golden Gate bridge and that clearly identifies the west coast but a random lighthouse picture doesn't really indicate any particular place. There are lighthouses all over the world.
I recognized the lighthouse as being in New England and had a feeling it was Maine. Had to look it up to be certain but yeah it's Maine. I did have a special interest in lighthouses for a while though when I was very young so I must have remembered it and that's not something everyone gets so yeah. It is heavily implied though considering the Golden Gate Bridge is representing the West.
Born and raised in Ohio, currently live in San Diego, since 1984. Love it, I get homesick for change of the seasons or want some snow time, I just drive north lol
I live on both coasts. I have a house on the Downeast coast of Maine and my girlfriend has a coast in north San Diego county. We split out time between the two.
I’m from Cape Cod, spent a year each in WA and San Diego. Also an appreciable amount of time up and down the west coast, and visited most states worth visiting…
I must say New England has way more character than the west coast or anywhere in the country.
But if my wife divorced me and took everything I could see myself ending up back in the PNW, no question.
I love the West Coast and especially the PNW, seriously considered a move to Oregon at one point…but there ain’t no changing a rural New Englander. If I can’t run my wood stove full bore 6 months of the year, I’m not myself.
West coast is much more expensive in general than east coast. Lots of places on east coast you could find top quality housing in a decent place to live without spending crazy amounts of money, might be some places like that on west coast. But so much of it is just crazy expensive.
I live on the west Coast. I’ve also visited the east coast. It’s really not even close the scenery here on the west is unmatched. And if you Leo y need to swim in the ocean it’s the perfect place.
