After living in LA for a couple months, thoughts on the differences between the West Coast and East Coast?
The most notable differences are the weather and the general attitude. It was 84°F yesterday, on January 4. We went rollerblading on the beach the day before Halloween. After coming back from visiting family in New Jersey over the holidays, where it was in the 20s, we went hiking on January 1 in Topanga State Park in t-shirts. I grew up in Seattle, where it was drizzle and gray every day for the first 16 years of my life, and then spent more than a decade on the east coast where it was snowing and windy and freezing for half of the year and humid as all hell for the other half, so Los Angeles has been a godsend.
Attitude-wise, this place is the polar opposite of New York. People are almost too nice. They say hello to you on the street, they know how to stand in lines without cutting you off, no one is trying to screw you out of something at any moment, it’s pretty clean and everyone seems fairly genuine. It was hard to get used to at first.

To me, these differences are less east/west coast and more NYC/LA.

People are way to nice out here, even for me; a native San Diegan.

After being in LA for 5 years, I think the exact opposite about the attitudes. Every time I go to NY everyone seems incredibly nice, and everyone in LA feels like a douche. I know it’s not true, because I love LA and defend it to the death.

I say that about Souther and Northern California. Northern is a much nicer part.
