• Cultural Mix: The West Coast is home to a wonderful mix of cultures and ethnicities from the entire world, resulting in a diverse community up and down the coast. Chinatown to Little Italys to incredible Latino communities with the best tacos you have ever had, the West Coast will have you feeling as if you took an international flight every day of the week.
• Close to Nature: One of my favorite advantages of living on the West Coast is the close distance to nature and adventures. Whether it's hiking in the mountains, surfing Malibu or hidden surf peaks, or exploring national parks on foot, you have easy access to outdoor adventures and opportunities to connect with the great outdoors.
• Incredible Scenery: The West Coast is known for its natural beauty, including stunning coastlines, mountains just waiting for you to climb, forests, and even deserts to keep it real. California boasts some of the world’s top beaches to the while the Pacific Northwest, gives your forests for miles where you could get lost and start a drug mine and no one would know. 
• Adventures: The West Coast is an outdoor adventure lover’s paradise. You can expect year-round hiking, camping, surfing, skiing, kayaking, snowboarding and more.
• The weather is perfect: The West Coast enjoys a relatively mild climate with lots of sunshine year-round. Some would say you have the perfect weather in California every single day.
• Culinary Delights: Thanks to the mix of cultures, the West Coast has  world-class culinary options. From Michelin-star restaurants you probably can’t afford  to food trucks, festivals, vegan large events and farmers' markets, the region offers a diverse plethora of dining options for every person and budget. (Yes, you can survive only on dollar tacos in Cali, from experience).
• Entertainment: Cities such as Los Angeles, San Francisco, and Seattle are city hubs with insane art, music and entertainment scenes. There are world-class museums, concerts, theaters, galleries, show venues, and festivals no matter what your style is.
• Technology: The West Coast is a leader in the world in innovation and technology. Silicon Valley is the heart of the tech industry for the world, and California hosts the offices of some of the biggest top tech companies in the world. You can expect many startups, research institutions, and VC firms driving up advancements in technology, science, and entrepreneurship but also prices of living.
• Liberal Values: The West Coast is known for its progressive liberal views and values as well as being the hub of major social and environmental causes. Companies tend to promote sustainability, environmental conservation, social justice, and equality.

We are here to turn you off from the chilly East Coast with the following list to make the move seem more alluring.

• Disgusting Winters: Most of the East Coast have cold and snowy winters, which can be long and challenging to make it out of your house. Snowstorms, icy roads, and freezing temperatures can disrupt work and make driving difficult and dangerous. There are many snow days where the kids stay home causing you to miss work, and sometimes even power outages during major storms.
• It’s Getting Expensive: Some cities along the East Coast, particularly in NY, have an extremely high cost of living. Housing prices, rent, taxes, and even just general basic living expenses can be rough, making it challenging for some to afford a comfortable lifestyle even when working full time.
• Traffic: Major cities on the East Coast, such as New York City, Boston, and D.C., are known for their heavy traffic. Rush hour traffic, crowded highways, and limited public transportation options makes getting anywhere a total hassle, let alone if theres a storm outside.
• Humidity: Summers on the East Coast are sticky, hot and humid, especially in the Southeastern states. High humidity levels make our air feel heavy and uncomfortable, leading to sweaty and sticky encounters. Ew!
• Hurricanes and Tropical Storms: Don’t even get me started on the number of storm warnings every season. Coastal regions of the East Coast are extremely susceptible to hurricanes and tropical cyclones during the Atlantic hurricane season, from June until November. This leads to property damage, power outages, and evacuations, especially in FL.
• Pollution: Some areas of the East Coast, where it is majorly urban and industrialized, suffer from severe pollution issues. Air and water pollution, litter, and habitat destruction impacts both animals, human health, and the environment.
