Summary
The West Coast of the United States is a dynamic region, typically encompassing California, Oregon, and Washington, known for its diverse geography, from Mediterranean climates in the south to oceanic climates in the north. Culturally, it is characterized by a laid-back, health-focused, and creative ethos, often forming a 'blue wall' in political discourse due to shared values. Currently, the West Coast is a focal point for ambitious development initiatives, notably California Forever's plan to construct a new city in Solano County, California. This project, spearheaded by CEO Yan Stramic, aims to address critical issues like the housing crisis and infrastructure deficits by establishing the Solano Foundry for high-tech manufacturing and developing new shipyards to bolster national security and shipbuilding capabilities, reflecting a broader vision of re-industrialization and national optimism.

- East Coast v. West Coast – What's so different? - EF
If the “go-go-go” pace of the East Coast sounds overwhelming, the West coast may be a perfect fit. On the West coast, people are a lot more laid-back. Nature and health are often a huge focus there, so it should come as no surprise that they try to stay very zen and get out to their favorite parks and locations. Whether you chalk it up to the sunshine and palm trees (or to the neverending traffic), West coast people are rarely in a rush. ### 3. History [...] The West coast’s history is diverse and every bit as boisterous as one might imagine. If we look back into its history, it kicks off with the American frontier period, the hardships of the Oregon Trail, the “cowboy life” of the Wild West and the country-wide frenzy caused by the Gold Rush. Mix in a few wars over land and religious freedoms, and you’ve got the powder keg that lead to some defining moments in American history. But it wasn’t all outlaws, cowboys, and violence. The early West [...] The Atlantic and Pacific oceans bring very contrasting climates to the two coasts. In New York, long, snowy winters are contrasted by hot summers. Most of the East coast experiences all four seasons, while the West coast has a very different climate. In Southern California, it is sunny and warm all year round with the northern part being colder and foggier. In the Pacific Northwest (basically everything north of San Francisco), winter comes in the form of rain and mist with the occasional
- The Culture Shock Between The East And West Coast
The East Coast is notorious for the career and goal driven pace. People are always hurrying from one place to the next, impatiently honking their horn at the driver in front of them, or running to catch the next subway. While this lifestyle can be difficult to adjust to, most of us are used to this hustle and once adjusted, can see how exciting this lifestyle is. On the contrary, the West Coast is extremely laid back. Health and nature are an influential factor when it comes to lifestyle. [...] There are tons of differences between the two coasts, but this war didn’t just begin out of nowhere; history can prove that the reason goes back decades. Settlers first conquered the East and established towns and cities. Because of this, there are architectural differences. West Coast architecture has a Spanish influence, and builders had designs that provided durability and affordability in terms of culture, climate, and heritage. East Coast architecture is known for its traditional Victorian [...] Image 6 La Jolla, San Diego (Katie Martin) Another prominent difference between the two is the food. On the East Coast, we are home to tons of seafood and Italian cuisine. However, the West is driven from Mexican and Asian influence. The East is famous for pizza, bagels, and cheesesteaks, while the West loves its sushi, tacos, and expensive avocado toast.

The West Coast, labeled “Relaxed and Creative,” has a psychological profile marked by low Extraversion and Agreeableness, very low Neuroticism, and very high [...] So, although there are some areas of overlap (people on both coasts are more reserved and open than those in the Mid-West, and people on both coasts are more creative), there are clear differences as well. For instance, West Coasters tend to be more innovative, empathetic, cooperative, and relaxed than their East Coast counterparts, who are more competitive, less empathetic, more organized and structured, and more anxious. [...] As my readers know, I am originally from the East Coast but was living on the West Coast for the past 17 years. I returned to the East Coast this summer to be closer to family, and although it’s my home, it is taking some getting used to. It’s been a big readjustment going from California to Pennsylvania, and not only because any big change is hard–there are some real cultural differences between the West and East coasts. On top of that, there are major differences in geography and weather, but
