In terms of vibe, culture and overall good quality of life. California seems pretty nice but I dont know
>>219816918It's Socal if you make >150k/yr. Mogs every other rickety shit place in this country except for Long Island and Westchester County (ruined by suburban sprawl from its maximal beauty)
>>219817049California seems like such a cool place
>>219817118Agreed
>>219816918>If you have money Hudson Valley, NYC, Bay Area, Boston >If you actually need to find a job and pay rent Probably Chicago or Pittsburgh. Possibly Atlanta if you’re fine with the religiosity and omnipresent black culture.
>>219817049This. California is the best place in the world, And only poor fags hate it.
>>219818384Hudson Valley is a bunch of dumpster fires. There's basically two nice towns in Rhinebeck and Redhook, unless you are including Westchester and Orange in which case I guess Nyack and Tarrytown. The rest are run-down rustbelt ghettos.
>>219818215>>219818384what happens in San Jose California? Just realized its one of the largest cities in the state yet I know nothing about it
>>219818444I’m talking Dutchess, Westchester, Orange, and Rockland counties. >The rest are run-down rustbelt ghettos.Nigga this region has Scarsdale and Mamaroneck, quit your bullshit. Best NYC suburbs by far, beats the mass-produced redneck wannabe towns in Long Island.
fuck off we're full
>>219818509Largest city in Silicon Valley, yes even more than San Francisco. Somehow even more expensive than San Francisco. Has a professional hockey team. Only major city in America where Asian Catholics are the biggest ethnoreligious group.
>>219818215that picure of a road is supposed to be impressive?
>>219818509shithole full of hispanics for people who can't afford to live in san francisco
>>219818514Scarsdale is not in the Hudson Valley and Mamaroneck is so far from the Hudson Valley that it is on the other side on the Long Island Sound.If you want to say that Westchester is nice, then yeah, there's like 7 nice Westchester towns and 8 ghetto towns.>beats the mass-produced redneck wannabe towns in Long Island.Long Island has beaches and can get to NYC without crossing the Bronx.
>>219818731Okay then downstate New York is a great place to live. >can get to NYC without crossing the Bronx.Rockland and Orange County can do this too. They can also get to the rest of America without having to drive through Queens.>Long Island has beachesBeaches in New York and New Jersey are straight dumps.
>>219818662looks comfy>>219818630interesting, just read on wikipedia that California is the state with highest asian population (like 6 million I think). Are you from california? I ask because I have always wondered how is the dynamic between all the ethnic groups over there, whites, latinx, asians and blacks.
>>219818912I’m not from California but I have been to San Francisco. There are many towns in the Bay Area that are almost a perfect 25-25-25-25 split between whites, blacks, Hispanics, and Asians. Probably the least racially segregated city I’ve been to. Every neighborhood I went to had a healthy mix of ethnicities, and friend groups were diverse as well. There was legit no racism, not even jokes or an unintended microaggression, people were just chill.Pic related is a racial map of the Bay Area. One thing that was odd was that couples were very monoracial, especially so with the younger generation. I’ve heard from coworkers that LA is the same way with friendships between the races.
>>219819095>One thing that was odd was that couples were very monoracialI have not seen this maybe 30-40% of asian women have white boyfriends
>>219819112Idk man maybe I was actually looking at tourists or just friends. One thing I noticed is that since SF is so Asian, the Asian girls lean heavily into Asian culture instead of white culture like everywhere else. Lots of boba tea and Kpop aesthetics, which probably appeals more to Asian guys than white guys.
>>219819095>>219819112I was quite amazed to learn that BOTH Eileen Gu and Alysa Liu are from the Bay Area and both are half chinese hapas. This is unironically a a new race exclusive to the US and California.If I walked through the streets of San Francisco would I see hapas like them or is this a psyop propagated by the internet?
>>219819388you'd probably step in human shit or get attacked by homeless drug addictsall major cities here are shit, but the ones in leftist shitholes like c*lifornia, along with the caliphate of nyc and chiraq, are especially shit
>>219819411is it seriously that bad? damn
>>219818731>can get to NYC without crossing the BronxYeah you just have to go over Throggs Neck instead
>>219819388I don’t remember seeing any, but they’re definitely there. You can’t go wrong with the Bay, Orange County, or Seattle for hapa hunting.>>219819437No, he’s just a seething MIGA cuck from some rural shithole. NYC, SF, and San Jose are some of the safest cities in the country. However, the Tenderloin and Mission Districts in SF as well as Oakland are even worse than conservative media make them out to be. Legit zombie apocalypse material.
>>219816918Maryland is underrated. Has some of the wealthiest and most educated parts of the US.
>>219819483Ever heard of the George Washington Bridge?
>>219819519It also has Baltimore and Washington
>>219819529>without crossing the Bronx
>>219819540Yeah I can read. Are you one of those dago chuds from Suffolk County who doesn’t actually go into the city because it’s full of scary brown people?
>>219819483Throggs Neck is in the Bronx though.
>>219819594Are you implying the city is not full of scary brown people?
>>219819653No they’re all like 5’2” and walk around with their 20 kids. Grow a spine and some inches, lil bro
>>219819534Baltimore has gotten a lot less dangerous. Homicides are down like 60%. Washington DC isn't in Maryland either and it's not that bad.
>>219819698>Homicides are down like 60%They are just not reporting them or not finding the bodies.
>>219819710I've heard this claimed but no evidence to support it. Baltimore police have a history of issues but the morticians, forensic investigators, detectives etc are not in on some conspiracy. It's way harder to hide murders than other crimes.
>>219819508Thanks for the response anon, it seems like California is unironically one of the best places to live if you have some decent money, wouldnt want to live there if I was barely surviving doe. Also, I truly wonder whats the general sentiment and generalized view of other races (black, white, asian) towards latinx pipo like myself
>>219819876Well Latinos are the biggest ethnicity in California so people there know that they’re not a monolith. Cali and Florida are the only states I’ve been to where rich Hispanics is not an unusual site. Overall I think they’re pretty well respected, can vibe with any group easily. Have no problem dating any group, both men and women. Lots of people stereotype Asians as being racist to Latinos but many Asians in Cali are third generation or more so they’re used to Latinos and are pretty chill.
>>219820046>Lots of people stereotype Asians as being racist to Latinosdidnt know this was a thing lmfao. The US is so fascinating to me honestly, the idea that you have all these ethnicities and backgrounds interacting with each other and each with their own tradition, italians, mexicans, asians, etc. Usually in diverse cities, do people stick together and date within their own race or is this mostly a thing of the past?
>>219820175>the idea that you have all these ethnicities and backgrounds interacting with each other and each with their own traditionYes it is fascinating, the diversity is like Latin America on steroids. Queens in New York City has 100 different nationalities living in it alone. One block will be predominantly Ecuadorian, the next majority Bangladeshi.>do people stick together and date within their own raceNot as extreme as before but still very prevalent since our cities are so segregated. Places like the West Coast and New York are exceptions. Pic related is a racial map of Chicago. Red is whites, blue is blacks, and orange is Latinos.
>>219820337If you zoom in on the Chicago map you'll see a number of areas that are actually quite mixed. My own neighborhood is a weird mix of Mexicans, old Chinese people and white hipsters.Tbh it's really the black neighborhoods that nobody wants to move to, except fresh Hispanic immigrants with no money.
>>219817049***Socal outside of L.A >>219820046Latinos are way more racist toward Asians than vice versa
>>219820398>My own neighborhood is a weird mix of Mexicans, old Chinese people and white hipstersinteresting! how is the dynamic in general? >Not as extreme as before but still very prevalent since our cities are so segregated.what are the main interracial groupings?>>219820482>Latinos are way more racist toward Asians than vice versawhy? I thought latinos were only racist towars blacks lol
>>219820732latinos are just very hateful people.
>>219820757>latinos are just very hateful people.false
>>219819594>>219819691>ermmmm chuddy so what if NYC is a smelly urine soaked cesspit filled with gibbering thirdies, think about the hecking street taco culturino!!
This reads like bots conversing.California is getting worse all the time. The massive number of poor migrants and their children have drained so much of the taxes and the government always overspends.The inability to balance budgets is leading them to raise taxes, install parking meters not where too congested but just everywhere for revenue, and find new ways to target anyone with money.As it loses tech companies this is only going to accelerate as they propped up the state and compensated for the millions of poor migrants.
