What is life like in the West Coast? Is it the future over there?
What is life like in the West Coast? Is it the future over there?
>future
if you mean tons of homeless people pooping everywhere, then yes
The future is brown and it's beautiful
It looks like present day Mexico actually
DUDE WEED
California is filled to the brim with Chicanos and chinks. Washington and Oregon may as well be Alabama outside Portland and Seattle, which are soiboi paradises. So, no.
Everything south of San Francisco is a dump
why not just ask your tio he's probably already there
>unequal brown shithole
Yep it's the future all right.
I like it out here in California. Having mountains, forests, and beaches all near each other is great.
Too bad it's full of Californians though.
>rent and housing costs skyrocketing exponentially
>inexplicable waves of African and Russian immigrants flooding in
>shitheads attracted by all the new businesses setting up in the area
>mentally ill homeless EVERYWHERE
>all the women are fat feminists with colored hair
>African and Russian immigrants
you're forgetting an immigrant group
Its okay, from the Canadian border to a line halfway between the northern california border, and SF. Beware that the whole west coast is going the way of California
there's no middle class, 50+% of the population is some 4 foot tall brown gremlin from latin america or east asian, and you'll never own a home.
You guys are extremely lucky to only have chinks to deal with
Really?
Nobody in my family lives in the US but my family is pretty small >.
Why
people shady with money > people that commit violent crimes
i'd rather bank robbers than the people responsible for 2008
Going to be a total bastard mix of asians and Hispanics in 30 years with almost no whites
will be an interesting experiment
It’s really calm and really wealthy.
It’s like America without any of the poverty.
t. from the Southeast and I’ve been all over the west coast
It almost feels artificial without any of the old American grit.
turns out flips actually are the most powerful race in the world
That would be wh*Te """"men"""""
Aren’t whites in Cali leaving en masse?
No, that's Hispanics
>It’s like America without any of the poverty.
howling
They are leaving and aging
and filthying up Denver and Austin
>It’s like America without any of the poverty.
lolwut. like 80% of california is dirt poor, then you have 10% people who make a high wage but can barely afford their apartment, then 10% truly wealthy. it's a shithole.
there is nothing more pretentious than a californian in colorado
Go away you faggot southies
t. olympic peninsula
Go away you faggot southies
t. kenai peninsula
Beware of the Pacific Northwest meme. It's not at all how you imagine it to be. Too many people are moving, the infrastructure (at least in Oregon) cannot accommodate all the people coming, the weather sucks when it isn't summer, lack of available and affordable housing, too many homeless, and the locals are unfriendly
>It’s really calm and really wealthy
There's like a small 20 or so % that's upper middle class/wealthy that wants everyone to think this is what it's like there when it's really not
Nope not at all. And if you think rich people are just renting apartments you’re way off.
The average joe in California with some ranch house in the 1980s now rents out that ranch house to a newcomer for exorbitant prices and sends his daughter to soma exclusive private school.
It’s the 5th wealthiest place in the world for a reason. Even the poor in California live better than in other parts of the country. You can work a shit job there and get all kinds of benefits.
Imagine if a wealthy chinese/white elite moved into the grossest mexican town you can think of, built a bunch of premium condos that cost google pesos and golfed all day while everyone else was still eating dogs for their meat and having unprotected sex because its their only escape... thats California
the poverty is super concentrated though, at least in socal. greater la and orange counties are one big continuous suburb all the way down to san diego
>he average joe in California with some ranch house in the 1980s now rents out that ranch house to a newcomer for exorbitant prices and sends his daughter to soma exclusive private school.
this delusion. the average californian is a slave wage mexican. you're talking about the top 5% of californian whites. delusional. literally just walk the streets of any californian city and see how retarded you are.
Its like everywhere else in this country, beautiful land, ugly people.
>inexplicable waves of Mexican immigrants
Fixed that for you. Most Black people are leaving Cali.
I’ve been all over the state because my brother is an economist at Berkeley and I go visit him every once in a while.
Btw California doesn’t have near the kind of crime other states do. My favorite place, Oakland, probably has the worst neighborhoods in CA and nothing’s even that bad. In a few years the ghettos will be gentrified out, it’s already happened to most of them.
Even Long Beach is full of millionaires now. If you’d ever been to California you’d know it’s just a very different place from eastern US. I prefer living in the South.
>I prefer living in the South.
Why?
this. after traveling for a bit you come to realize there are some real third-world tier shitholes in america, particularly in the south
CA feels really artificial to me. No brick buildings (everything’s this really ugly stucco), no real poverty or crime like other parts of the US, CA just seems removed from reality.
It’s an exciting time to live in (certain parts of) the South right now. Our major cities like ATL, Charlotte, nashvillle, Raleigh, are having a big revival. But unlike other parts of the country we didn’t lose our identity. I can still walk around Durham and hear banjo music.
>It’s like America without any of the poverty.
Nice bait. Go to Santa Monica, Venice Beach or any of the other neighborhoods of LA that are overrun with legit dangerous homeless people.
Are you African American user?
lol what. santa monica and venice beach are millionaire-tier towns
Cool story I was just in Venice a few months ago.
He watched American History X (that’s how he got Uber-redpilled) so he thinks it’s still like in the 80s. He’s never actually seen Venice Beach.
Ignore all the flyovers who have never left their hometown. I live in LA and it isn't that different compared to other American cities. Most of the rural Areas of Northern California, Oregon, And Washington are cozy and pretty safe places. In Socal there isn't much outside of the two big cities and Central Valley. There are a lot of Chicanos especially in Central Valley and the cities, make of that what you will.
Why is the West Coast much more liberal than the rest of America?
Both of you are dense as lead. If you ever go to California you'll see that most people are still middle-class
immigrants and hippie transplants. resident white californians are some of the most racist people in america. a lot of skinhead and neonazi groups come out of rural california
At least in California most of the population lives in big cities which are generally more liberal. I've been thinking about it and it looks like most of the people who have moved to the West Coast in the 1900s were young and liberal themselves. Newer area means tradition isn't rooted into the culture
that's not true
desu it's only the california cental valley + bay area, portland, and seattle that are liberal. There are plenty of rural areas that are very conservative. You can drive 2hrs from LA and get to orange county, which is very conservative.
>a lot of skinhead and neonazi groups come out of rural california
Proofs?
Didn't Orange County vote for Hillary Clinton? I remember reading about it
The rural areas are pretty Republican (just like anywhere in the US) but the coastline has a ton of urban areas.
California’s coast has such good land for different things (including just scenery) it all gets used and developed so almost none of it gets remote and conservative.
Oregon and Washington don’t mind instituting liberal policies because they don’t have many minorities. Oregon used to be a whites-only state.
yeah, looks like they did. probably too many immigrants or gen 1 living there to go for trump.
californian conservatism is still more left-leaning than conservatism in other states
the last remaining good white states:
>oregon
>new hampshire
>colorado
>utah
if you dont mind living in a podunk rural town, a bunch of midwest/mountain states are great, also vermont/maine
everywhere else is 56%'d
>good
>wh*Te
The only good white state is the state of death
What said
this is true, but I think that's just because of the huge latino population. capitalists don't want to make life too hard for immigrants because they are the cheap labor that powers our agriculture industry.
>dude the only white states left are Oregon and Colorado
>bing bing wahoo!
>Oregon and Washington don’t mind instituting liberal policies because they don’t have many minorities. Oregon used to be a whites-only state.
What do minorities have to do with this? Most of them vote Democrat
The main reason right-wing Americans don’t vote for sensible policies (like healthcare, gun control or transit) is because they think minorities are going to ruin them.
>It’s like America without any of the poverty.
what the fuck are you talking about
why vote for social services when a bunch of nonwhites are going to have 8 goblinos and weigh down the safety nets
including SF, as you trip over homeless people and needles
E3 and GDC really should move to Seattle or Austin.
socal is sonora without the constant violence
everything north of fresno is white
I don't know Sonora
I do (I was born there) and it's trailer homes, guns, goats, and whining about the central government's military checkpoints. Also no public transit and constant heat/smog.
It's okay.
We're fucking full though. Try Canada :-)
Rude
Portland is lefty but awesome. Love it there.
>trailer homes
>guns
>goats
>military checkpoints
Are you sure Sonora is like SoCal?
socal has g-o-a-t-s, guns, trailer homes and CBP checkpoints (also door to door immigration raids, just like smaller villages in your country get)
>(also door to door immigration raids, just like smaller villages in your country get)
we don't have that
Moved here from Wyoming
AMA
bullshit I watched military cops go into a farmer's barn where he kept his cattle/centraca workers and deport them all. One of the younger ones tried to run so they broke his knees with beanbags
Don't believe you
leave DF for once, farmers hire illegals all the time when they can treat them like garbage as laws don't apply to them
What's the biggest change you've felt moving?
Were you really born in Mexico?
democracy is bullshit we need an american ataturk to purge the people living in the past
It feels crowded and the food is better
Lots of other comparisons won't be fair since I moved here for college 10 years ago and stayed
Do you miss anything about Wyoming?
Lots of open space, I could see stars because of less light pollution, people were friendlier (but I'm from a small town and I live in San Francisco now so that could be why)
It's comfy out there and I visit my parents a couple times a year so I still experience it
Doesn't Alaska have the highest rate of flip immigration? Though that's prob in relation to other immigrate groups and not flat numbers.
yes, I'm a DACA recipient
Oregon, Colorado, and Utah are full of Californian shitheads chomping at the bit to take advantage of everyone
>Colorado
Not just Californians but people who want to be Californian but not live in California. I know a few people that moved to Boulder because it's going around that it's become mini socal.
t.lives in Wisconsin
no
Dumb place to ask, but is the west coast really worth it? I have the east coast- is there anything in west coast cities that are better
>Too many people are moving, the infrastructure (at least in Oregon) cannot accommodate all the people coming
And it never will, the UGB will ensure that transplants look at another state if they want endless suburbs. We care about the land and aren't looking to sell it off to money hungry developers
>the weather sucks when it isn't summer
What did you expect?
>the locals are unfriendly
No one likes transplants, period
not really dude
have you lived here?
Why are there so many NIMBY's in the West Coast?
Based, being in the Midwest is nice for nature because people would rather be on a coast, so it's nice and quiet here as a flyover.
>anywhere in america
>no poverty
lmao need a boost to see over the walls of your gated community?
