East Coast = Lot of snow! Very very cold.... but more big cities and nice places to go.  Good public transportation.  
West Coast = Sunny weather, chance of earthquake.  Need car to go anywhere. Expensive to live there. But lot of good food, famous restaurants, and National parks.  Gulf Coast = Sunny Hot weather, hurricanes  in the summer, tornado in some area.  Can drive to Disney, lot of beaches.  People are very nice there.  Great for retirement.


I have lived in all the coastal areas, and each have something I like.  If you don't mind cold weather and snow, Boston, Chicago, Washington D.C. are very nice to live.  California really is too expensive to live, and 4 seasons in a day is too much... we have 30 degrees different from day to night.... sometimes there is ice cover the car in the morning...
