Interesting thread. I have lived in Hawaii, Boston, Seattle, Houston, Guadalajara, LA and now San Francisco area. I have always wondered about the West Coast/East Coast thing.
Are East Coasters a little more brusque and forward because of the European influence or because of the colder harsher winters? Are West Coasters more laid back because of the Asian influence or the warmer milder weather? Or does the energy of these areas influence the cultures? Or perhaps all of the above?
I have been in California now for less than a year and it feels really right for me. There are definitely some places for each person that feel like you're in the flow and others that feel like you're moving upstream.
