Hahaha. But which part? Washington and Oregon are basically whitelandia. The Bay Area is its own thing. And then there is LA and the rest of SoCal. It super depends. Everyone has feelings @ LA. LA does not have feelings back about every other city. They just think cool a city.

White West Coast Cali is very different from BIPOC west coast Cali.

Yes. I definitely thought about the way race matters in this discourse...

Also I wonder if it about regional norms. PNW apparently feels like Scandinavian Midwest. They do not talk to you & invite you over until they know you really well. SoCAL expects ppl to chat and relate in grocery lines etc. But ppl know there is no expectation of closer connexn.

So it is definitely a regional set of expectations about local interactions. Ppl also forget that all the Dust bowl white folks moved to Cali in the 30s. Stares at Bakersfield and other white conservative bastions.

Also within region. Bay Area gnashes about LA and shouts about SoCAL taking its water. LA does not gnash about any other city in the region. It also does not care about NYC. It mostly is just like, oh another city. Though it does laugh about NYC saying it has good tacos.

LA, for me, thinking about region, is the largest Korean city outside of Seoul. My mom could go an entire day and never need to speak English. I am sure there are similar visions of this part of the West coast that has nothing to do w/ the East & more to do w/ the Pacific.
