“Lots of nice people here. Even nicer than Californians in some ways. Maybe it’s because people are forced together here, whereas they are able to live very remote, isolated lives on the west coast with all the car driving and more spread-out living arrangements. As a west-coaster, I’d always been a bit biased against east coasters because they’ve always seemed so much harsher than Californians, but we’ve been very pleasantly surprised by how helpful and friendly everyone is out here.”
Glad to hear you’re having a great trip, CAr. We’ve always enjoyed the east coast with all of the history, amazing architecture, and the great people. We visit friends and family in various states back there at least once a year, and always have a great time.
Very few of the people we know plan to relocate, and love where they are. Even though my wife has tried to get one of her best friends who is an author and has sold something like 500 million+ books, to move west, she and her family prefer east coast living.
Yes, most people we’ve talked to here seem to like it here. That being said, whenever they hear that we are from California, their eyes light up and they always make some comment about how lucky we are because of the weather.
Ideally, if one had plenty of money and flexibility WRT work, a bi-coastal lifestyle would be best. The “rich and famous” set often do just that (as you know). Can’t say I blame them.
