[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends where on the west coast and where you’re moving. Yes, New Yorkers are direct and life is faster paced there.

If you mean you’re moving to DC, people aren’t really that direct and life is a lot more suburban.

East coast is black-white. And the white population is very Italian or Irish Catholic focused. You’ll miss all the amazing Asian, Mexican and Middle Eastern food!! But, you’ll get good soul food, and great Italian food.

East coast is preppier, more intellectual, more conventional, more competitive, more honest with bigger, brighter, and more opinionated personalities.

The East Coast is not black and white. DC, sure. NYC? No way.

It’s just different. In CA, the white population is 36% so the vast majority of people you see are people of color.  And everyone meshes. [/quote]
