Yes California is very pretty and Washington State also has the differences. Seattle is known for its rain and being very green (hence the name the emerald city). Raining about 150 days out of the year. then cross the Cascade mountains with Mount Rainier (an active volcano) that has 25 named glaciers and you have desert until you get closer to Spokane where it turns green again but not as much rain as Seattle. South of Seattle you have a rain forest and on the south part of the coast white sandy beaches where the north part of the coast is rocky beaches. Washington is my favorite state since there is all the different things all in one state. I miss it very much since we moved to North Carolina eight years ago. I have been in 48 states, just missing Alaska and Hawaii.
9:56 that is old statistics. California’s economy isn’t “almost equivalent to the whole country of the United Kingdom”. California’s economy is much bigger than the UK’s and in fact has just recently overtaken Germany.
An "Oceanic" climate is what you folks have: very temperate, moderated by the proximity of the ocean, never gets terribly hot or terribly cold. The coastal Pacific Northwest of the US (Oregon, Washington, Northern California) is very much like the British Isles in terms of climate, while the southern Pacific coast is more like the Mediterannean - think coastal Spain or the south of France. "Continental" climates, on the other hand, are the sort you find in most of the US east of the Rockies, or on the other side of the planet, in much of Russia. Extreme temperatures, not moderated by ocean currents. Very cold winters, very hot summers. And of course, "subtropical" climates, like our southeast, are warm and *extremely* humid.
Valley of the Giants in Oregon has a rain forest and Hoh Rain Forest in Washington :) And no Chaz is gone. But yes everything on the western side of the Cascades/Sierra Nevada mountains is very green.
Just as a note, there are three colleges and universities in the United States which were founded during the 17th century. Harvard University is the oldest, being founded in 1636. At least a couple dozen more were founded during the 18th century, most before the US declared its independence.
A key thing to remember about the Hispanic/Latino populations in the desert southwest (NM, TX, AZ, CO, southern CA and NV) is that those base populations were largely acquired through conquest and treaty much more than immigration. E.g. my ancestors were in NM when it was New Spain (and, if DNA is to be believed, even before); we stayed put for centuries while the place names changed around us. Of course, there's also been a lot of migration, esp. once the automobile became a thing.
Even though nothing about that wad talked about here, you are wrong. No native groups inhabited the deserts. They travel them but not inhabit them. To say so is just foolish and wrong.
I'm from Washington State on the west coast. California has palm trees and nice weather...because they don't get the storms that Washington and Oregon do...because it's many miles south of the Pacific Northwest. Same goes for the east coast. Florida gets hot and humid while New York gets snow. This is a big country with different climates. I lived in Alaska for two years (Anchorage) and many times it was colder in "the lower 48" than it was there. People can be sunning themselves on beaches in California while up here in Washington we're sitting in the dark because of a storm. I've always taken for granted the size of my country. It's interesting to me to see others become aware of it.
You make it sound like storms are the primary difference. The entire state of Washington is north of the entire state of New York. Seattle is damn far north compared to the east coast. Seattle is north of all the significant cities in Maine if I remember correctly, but our weather is far milder. Those northeast states get much worse winters. Straight up latitude is why Washington is colder. But the Puget Sound region is warmer due to warm Pacific air and the Olympic Mountains sheltering us from the bulk of the ocean storms etc.
Not like the coast of Washington does. Just had a storm a few days ago that knocked out power. Happens multiple times from September to about March. My point was the size of the country and how different the weather can be depending on where you live. Here? Windstorms. The Midwest? Tornados among other things. Snow is fairly rare in western Washington. High winds are common.
As a Floridian I must say to drive from Miami up to Jacksonville then over to Pensacola is a days drive roughly! People don’t realize Florida itself is a decent sized state length wise but width wise it is roughly a 3 hour drive from here where I live in Fort Pierce on the east to Tampa/St Petersburg on the west!
Damn I guess the Florida traffic is too much because what I assumed is that a Drive from Jacksonville to Miami is an easy 2 hour and 30 minute drive just like it is from San Diego to Los Angeles.
@@brandondavis7777 hmm interesting. Just driving on the East side of Florida over to the west side of Florida is crazy 3 hours? Is Florida really that big? Pfft
@@runrafarunthebestintheworld Yeah, it is. It takes 7 hours for me to get from my side of VA to the Coast. The panhandle of Florida is easily 3/4ths the width of VA's entirety.
The 4 biggest states in the US are 1 Alaska, 2 Texas, 3 California and 4 Montana lol And yes lots of people are moving out of California for alot of reasons lol
As a native New Mexican, I had to laugh at the confusion, over whether Americans go there, or not. Lot's of US citizens, are confused about it as well. Lol.
Seattle has the same sort of weather as London, if that helps. And the military enlistment map is rather deceptive. There are a lot of military personnel who claim that their state of residence is Florida, but they're not actually from Florida. Many do that for tax reasons, as Florida is one of four US states that doesn't tax income.
Except London rarely snows....Washington is typically colder than London in the winter and hotter in the summer. I would say early spring in Washington is like London’s winter.
Which are the other states that don't tax income. I want to work in Massachusetts, but if there's a state I already like like Conneticut or New Hampshire or something similar I might try to work there when i get out of college.
Washington is basically 2 weather regions, split by the Cascade Mountains. The coast is very wet and coastal, like England. Winter temps usually hover around 35°F, reaulting in cold
It's a very long video but if y'all are interested in how this country connects together and why(partially) we became as powerful as we are, I'd recommend Real Life Lore's video titled "How Geography Made the US Ridiculously OP." There are things I don't care for at times about how he frames it but it's a really good video.
@@marcom6089 That's not what I'm frustrated about. He didn't talk about that. The issue I have is he seems to go out of his way to paint every US action in the worst possible light, even when it's a huge stretch to do so. Also, just as an aside, practically everywhere was "stolen" at some point so picking us out as if we're the only ones is stupid. History is messy.
So true, @@HistoryNerd808! Picking on the US for "stealing land" (or slavery or many other things) just shows how little some know about world history or the various times. That video sounds interesting but I don't think I could stand that kind of ignorance. What happened to the Native Americans is almost exactly what happened to the native English (Britons) after the Romans landed. Only difference? Those Britons had just one choice : Accept Roman rule or die. Not to mention all those who cry for the Native Americans conveniently forget how hostile some Native Americas were to the settlers. Not all; the eastern tribes were much more accepting because most were already farmers. They, in fact, integrated smoothly early in America's development. The real trouble was that the western tribes were mostly hunter-gatherers that did not recognize land ownership and, also, often fought between themselves. It was their violence that led to much of the "slaughtering" that eventually took place. BTW, the few Britons that survived (mostly, Wales, I believe) only did so because the Romans decided not to cross the small mountain range into Wales. In fact, because the Britons accepted Roman thinking so thoroughly, you might say it was that Roman influence of "organize, invade, take over" that led the first political envoys into America. And I do not mean the pilgrims, themselves, but the political powers behind them, mostly the British, French and Dutch.
@@HistoryNerd808 I for one don't mind when our country's crimes, problems, or atrocities are brought up in content like this because more often than not it's essential for understanding the meat and potatoes of the video. Some people like to play the whataboutism game and bring up all sorts of things to justify why they shouldn't have to feel guilty at all for these terrible things, but I don't see the point in that and I prefer to just accept what happened. Sometimes, though, people have a tendency to repeatedly bring those things up even when it's not necessary or overemphasize over and over how bad these things are, and it gets annoying. Like, bro, I get it. Slavery, colonialism, genocide, and exploitation are bad, I'm totally on board with that, can we move on with the conversation please? I don't need you to explain to me that these things are bad; I already know they're bad. Other than that, though, channels like Real Life Lore are great.
As far as income, you have to take into account the cost of living, even in the given state. In the videos you watched about housing, you saw that you can get more for your money if you get away from either coast.
Florida is 500 miles long and 160 miles wide at its most distant points. California, the third largest state in the United States, measures 560 miles from west to east and 1040 miles from north to south at its widest and longest.
Humidity is an issue on the east coast, where the west coast has much lower humidity, even right on the ocean. The east coast gets hit with hurricanes where the last hurricane to hit the west coast was in 1858 in San Diego. The west coast gets lots of earthquakes, where they are rare on the east coast. I live in eastern Washington, and my county has less than 5 people per square mile, compared with NYC 27,013 per square mile!! Millie said 1,700 likes in the beginning of the video, not the 1,800 likes she threw in at the end!!
My daughter moved to the Adirondacks in upper New York, only a short drive to Vermont. I was surprised to find so many towns and streets named after places in the UK.
I watch and like everything you do whether a tear or the gram or whatever You're discord channel I support you I hit the thumbs up before I even watch a video because I know it's going to be great much love from Pennsylvania
The population in the the top four states is as follows : CA, TX, FL, and then NY. It is changing, because CA, and NY are losing population, while TX, and FL are gaining population.
Some of the biggest companies in the world are in California. Such as Apple, Google, Intel and Disney just to name a few. California also leads in agriculture. It actually recently went from 5th to 4th largest economy in the world.
Oh, you guys. It's not the population that makes Texas so wealthy. Or the brisket, for that matter. It's the OIL! (Texas has plenty of high tech industry as well, of course. But oil is what makes it so very rich.)
East Coast - hurricanes and Nor'easters. West Coast - earthquakes and wildfires. Third coast - lake effect snow, I guess. The Great Lakes region sometimes calls itself the third coast.
I've seen most of the coastal areas of the U.S. but I grew up on the Oregon coast and live there now. I like how rugged the coastline is, although there are plenty of wide open beaches. There is much less population density but the water is consistently around 55 F or about 13 C. Great vid! 1800
In San Francisco, the headquarters of these following companies are on the same street, Market St. downtown. Facebook/Meta, Google, Apple, Yahoo, Tesla, and Twitter. That speaks of the west coast’s financial influence.
1800, Millie and James are correct about the meaning and usage of the word "transaction". It can be financial or any other action that begets another action.
Colorado has a booming start-up industry and tech industry second to CA. We also have biosciences, advanced tech/manufacturing, aerospace, science and research labs, energy and natural resources. Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Base (not an industry but presidential bunker)- Space Force Installation, NORAD and other major Federal Facilities.
I live in washington, west coast, and i include hawaii and alaska on the west coast. Washington and oregon also have huge mountains and trees. In our trees, we have cute little chipmunks and squirrels and seagulls. Newyork(east) has pigeons. And dog sized sewer rats. We have crows ravens and sparrows maybe a pigeon.
We may have the highest gas rate in the US too 5.20 last month. Our mortgage is 860.00 where i think the average is closer to 1500-2000. Californias rates are crazy all over the board. Crime in los angeles and tacoma are bonkers, not so much in (the rest of the west side). Maybe portland with crime. The Mormon and Christian influence are pretty apparent over here, i think that stifles the crime. Where in Jersey, theyll cap you then pray for forgiveness.
Happy proud Texan here, who did this video? Asking because some of the states he mentioned to be apart of the east coast like Florida I've never heard of anyone there describe being east coast. I've heard them claim southern but never east coast. Usually it's the northeastern part that people in US think of with east coast. Maybe some can chime in on that but just sharing what I've heard. In Texas we do BBQ different from anywhere else beef, pork, sausage, chicken. Texas has its own class of Texmex or authentic Mexican, Cuban, Spanish cuisine. Our GDP has always been high nothing new oil mainly. A lot of companies have left California and came here recently so Californias GDP has come down actually. California has the biggest homeless population some in California are rich not all. New York as well same thing. It's sad! The average income thing is off as well. Thanks much love from Texas!
Amusing to continue to hear J&M references to "Hollywood". Blissfully unaware of L.A. locales and the few select California places where celebs and the affluent do tend to live.
If you look at a map of the roads in the US you can see how much more populated it is. There is a lot of space that has very few roads in the middle of the country. There are a lot of farm areas in the middle part of the country so that is one good reason why there are not as many people. A lot of land for crops and animals. The middle part of the country feeds the east and the west for the most part.
Humidity, favorite sports, favorite pastimes, whose landmarks are more famous? Thise are the differences off the top of my head. Oh yeah, and types of natural disasters more likely to occur. Also food... All those could have their own videos, really.
This started out good, but seemed to fall apart. This wasn't a 1:1 comparison. He pulled up maps & just said "if you look that area has more" but didn't actually extract the data and place it side by side like he did with land size & population. I also feel like including PA & NH while excluding AK, HI, NV, AZ was wrong.
The statement (12:02) is wrong - the guy doesn’t know how to interpret the data. 100 is the national average. Anything above (like 107) it is more expensive than the average - anything below it (like 93) is less expensive than the average. To answer Millie’s observation about people leaving California, the map shows why. People make much more money in California than in Texas, but it costs much more to live there. Texans earn less and their rent costs (plus everything else) are much cheaper. People can work remotely for their California company while living in Texas. Same with Florida. They’re CHEAP states - that’s why. Not because of natural beauty or climate certainly.
People left CA for two straight years during vivid, in which CA being the most populated state had the most case of Covid. The population stopped declining in 2023 and people started moving back.
Washington state and Oregon have a lot of terrain that you can’t build on for people to live and some parts of California as well. Florida might be the only state that is bigger from the east coast but California, Oregon, and Washington are all bigger than the other 16 states he mentioned.
all you need to know: Cali is the most populous state in the country, and by a very wide margin also. That is why they have the highest GDP, it pretty much flows along population patterns.
True in general, but New York has a lower population than Florida with a higher GDP than the state of Florida. Per capita GDP matters as well as population.
California is 2.5 times the size of Florida - they aren’t remotely similar in size. Oregon is 1.5 times the size of Florida. Even Washington is larger.
1800, as some one who was born in WY lived half my childhood in CA and my adult life in D.C. the east and the west are VERY different. People are generally nicer on the west coast, The east is EXTREAMLY diverse while in the east is your 80% more likely to find people and work with people from all over the world my work alone has people from over 20 countries like Russia, Zimbabwe, and the middle east has a very big population while in CA your mainly going to see those from Mexico on the bottom half and people from India in north CA in san Fran and such. CA has this laid back care about your looks way more then the east were there always in a rush and a lot of culture clothing. As Virginia is tech a 'southern' state we have our share of rednecks. And don't forget the way people speak in CA. The surfer thing sure... but mostly we talk a million miles an hour. When i moved to the east i had to work on slowing down my words.
1) For largely political reasons, there are now conventional wisdoms or memes that "everyone is leaving California" and "everyone is moving to Texas." While there are more people leaving California for other states than moving in from them, this is true of many of the states with high costs of living. The population of California is still growing from a higher birth than death rate. Like everywhere else in the world, the cost of living is higher in Texas cities than the rural areas. I will say that to an outsider, the cost of living in general and real estate prices in particular seem absurdly high in California. 2) There are several reasons why the population is lower in the West than in the East, perhaps the most crucial of which is water. Except for the coastal areas of Washington, Oregon, and northern California, and the mountains where it snows, the land of the West is desert or semi-desert. There are more than 20 million people in southern California, nearly all of whom receive their drinking water from hundreds of kilometers away. Most the "fruit and veg" grown in the U.S. comes from irrigated farms in these dry regions, and there simply is no longer enough water. I fear we are headed for a massive and sudden agricultural crisis when the wells and rivers run dry. We know the crisis is approaching but have yet done little to prepare. 3) Texas's GDP is higher than that of the state of New York because it has 9 million more people, and also because parts of the New York City metropolitan area are located in nearby New Jersey and Connecticut. 4) At 12:00, the original video is wrong about the composite cost of living index. A score of more than 100 indicates a cost higher than the national average or median, not that everyone is spending more than they earn. That would be unsustainable.
No it hasn’t. That’s a projection based on an extremely pessimistic outlook for the German economy and a rather rosy outlook for California’s. California is still about a $1 trillion behind Germany in economic terms.
When the narrator says the cost of living is over 100 it isn't that it costs more then you can make to live. It means it takes more then one income to support a family. So both Mom and Dad have to work to fully support a family which is arbitrarily a family of 4, two parents and two kids, a boy and girl.
He chose to include Pennsylvania and Vermont in the East Coast...which aren't on the East Coast...but doesn't include Alaska in the West Coast even though it's literally on the West Coast.
@@passingthroughtime3033 You have a river that connects to the Atlantic Ocean, dipsh-t. You're not on the East Coast anymore than Minnesota is on the Gulf of Mexico.
PA I understand because shipping comes up to Philly via the Delaware River and is a major port city. Many immigrants came through the Philly port. It was once the largest ship yard in the nation. There is also a Naval Shipyard dating back to 1776. Vermont does not qualify from a geographical sense, but it might be due to influence from New Hampshire. Which is why some might add Nevada to the West Coast due to the influence from California on western Nevada (Lake Tahoe, Reno).
I’m not sure why he arbitrarily excluded Alaska and Hawaii from the West Coast. They are both officially included. Also, sometimes Idaho and Nevada are included although they have no coastline but then neither does Pennsylvania and he included that! It makes no sense.
One thing you have to consider is that the east coast was settled for decades before people started trickling west. America developed in a gradual, piecemeal fashion. For example, Arizona (where I live) didn’t become a state until 1912. So a lot of the east coast states had been populated and built up for 130+ years, first as British colonies and then American states, before AZ achieved statehood. People migrated west gradually, in stages. First is was stalled by the Appalachian Mountain Range, then the Mississippi River, etc. so it makes sense that the population would be lower.
California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas all border Mexico and were once part of Mexico which is why those states have more Latin/Hispanic residents. South Florida has a lot of Latin/Hispanics because it is close to Cuba.
When you talking about how much someone making you have to look what it costs I know a guy when he was in New Jersey he was renting a 2 bedroom house no driveway about 10 feet between homes he moved to South Carolina for the same price of his rent he was paying he got a 4 bedroom home with 2 car garage on 5 acres so it not what you are making it were you at my cousins 15 years ago moved to
It's also way cheaper to live in the Midwest and Southern U.S.!! Half or less in rent or mortgage cost compared to California or New York!! For instance, in the Hancock Park area of Los Angeles County I live in is mostly a Middle to Upper Middle class area with Multi-Million dollar Condos, Townhouses and traditional homes, were in the Midwest and Southern U.S., those same homes would be worth and costs, 60%-80% less.
Not here for a debate, but the assertion put forward that Democratic Party = progressive politics 🙄 is completely moronic. 8:38 The Republican party is also not full of fuddy duddies set in their ways.
The thing is, the Midwest and Southern U.S. are under developed and poor for many reasons, in general! The West and East Coasts have the most educated and skilled Americans living there, tech industries, banking and financial HQs, top healthcare companies and hospitals, universities, etc. The standard of living is higher in both Coasts and people are way more Liberal there, too!
The populated areas in California are not hot. They have a very comfortable Mediterranean climate. Only when you go inland into the dessert does it get hot
@@leonelbrava2738 apparently you misunderstood. I am not complaining. I'm just wondering what "hot" means to David R. BTW it's been in the 50s and 60s for the past 2 weeks.
@@leonelbrava2738 "70 - 80 all year around"? Where I live in the Inland Empire those temperatures are mid fall and mid spring. Winter, late November to early March, is mid 50s to mid 70s. Summer, which pretty much starts in May and lasts until October, is mid 80s to as high as 110. I would love 70 - 80 year round.
Well, they are similar , as they overlap. But, Florida is not as low, and OR isn't as high. OR =4-9, FL= 7-10 , depends on the exact city in both states.
The oceans affects the weather..Japanese current flows from Alaska to the Mexican border...the east coast has the Gulf Stream which flows from Florida to Maine...California water is basically cold while the east coast water is warmer. The Washington coastline is rainforest and while they are northern, they do not have the snow of the same latitude of the east coast. Going inland, off the ocean all changes. The Rocky Mountains and the prevailing flow of weather dominates. areas east of the mountains limiting the rain.The norther tier along the Canadian border has fierce cold and heavy snow, the farther south becomes drier still and less cold with less snow. The joker in the deck is the polar flow down the east side of the Rockies which meets up with the warm moist flow northward from the Gulf of Mexico. Cold air sinks, hot air rises, so right in the middle there is rain and tornados.
I have often thought that the reason the west coast is so liberal is that their weather is sunnier and milder...and the migration out of California isnt sending folks into the northern states but into Texas and Florida. As your fellow Brit (Lost In the Pond) would tell you, it takes some real will power to love the winters in the north. Keeps ones feet firmly planted in reality.
Americans travel to Mexico by going through proper border crossings to enter. While those coming from Mexico my not all be Mexicans and have been coming into the USA illegally by crossing in not at border entries by over 2 million in the last year.
The biggest cause of climate differences on the east and west coasts is the ocean currents. On the east coast the gulf stream flows from the south to north bringing warm water to the north. On the west coast, the ALaska Current brings cold water from Alaska south. Living in New England, where ocean temperatures in the summer can exceed 75 degrees, I was shocked at the temperatures of the waters off of California and how cold they were, even in August.
Hahahah ya. Growing up in CA we would go to the beaches in the summer and swim until we were so numb it was hard to move, got out and warmed up in the sun, and then went back in again

I'm from Washington State on the west coast. California has palm trees and nice weather...because they don't get the storms that Washington and Oregon do...because it's many miles south of the Pacific Northwest.
Same goes for the east coast. Florida gets hot and humid while New York gets snow.
This is a big country with different climates. I lived in Alaska for two years (Anchorage) and many times it was colder in "the lower 48" than it was there.
People can be sunning themselves on beaches in California while up here in Washington we're sitting in the dark because of a storm.
I've always taken for granted the size of my country. It's interesting to me to see others become aware of it.
Northern California gets storms also. It's not all Los Angeles.
You make it sound like storms are the primary difference.
The entire state of Washington is north of the entire state of New York. Seattle is damn far north compared to the east coast. Seattle is north of all the significant cities in Maine if I remember correctly, but our weather is far milder. Those northeast states get much worse winters.
Straight up latitude is why Washington is colder.
But the Puget Sound region is warmer due to warm Pacific air and the Olympic Mountains sheltering us from the bulk of the ocean storms etc.
Not like the coast of Washington does. Just had a storm a few days ago that knocked out power. Happens multiple times from September to about March.
My point was the size of the country and how different the weather can be depending on where you live. Here? Windstorms. The Midwest? Tornados among other things. Snow is fairly rare in western Washington. High winds are common.
As a Floridian I must say to drive from Miami up to Jacksonville then over to Pensacola is a days drive roughly! People don’t realize Florida itself is a decent sized state length wise but width wise it is roughly a 3 hour drive from here where I live in Fort Pierce on the east to Tampa/St Petersburg on the west!
Damn I guess the Florida traffic is too much because what I assumed is that a Drive from Jacksonville to Miami is an easy 2 hour and 30 minute drive just like it is from San Diego to Los Angeles.
@@runrafarunthebestintheworld "From Miami, up to Jacksonville, then over to Pensacola". Learn to read, bud.
@@brandondavis7777 hmm interesting. Just driving on the East side of Florida over to the west side of Florida is crazy 3 hours? Is Florida really that big? Pfft
@@runrafarunthebestintheworld It's like driving from Tampa to South of Ft Myers.
@@runrafarunthebestintheworld Yeah, it is. It takes 7 hours for me to get from my side of VA to the Coast. The panhandle of Florida is easily 3/4ths the width of VA's entirety.
Did you guys see all the videos of the USS Gerald R Ford in Portsmouth this past week? A big American ship visiting England!!
The 4 biggest states in the US are 1 Alaska, 2 Texas, 3 California and 4 Montana lol
And yes lots of people are moving out of California for alot of reasons lol
Keep rolling Millie!! So fun to watch you two. Confusing sometimes . . . But fun.
As a native New Mexican, I had to laugh at the confusion, over whether Americans go there, or not. Lot's of US citizens, are confused about it as well. Lol.
Seattle has the same sort of weather as London, if that helps. And the military enlistment map is rather deceptive. There are a lot of military personnel who claim that their state of residence is Florida, but they're not actually from Florida. Many do that for tax reasons, as Florida is one of four US states that doesn't tax income.
Except London rarely snows....Washington is typically colder than London in the winter and hotter in the summer. I would say early spring in Washington is like London’s winter.
Which are the other states that don't tax income. I want to work in Massachusetts, but if there's a state I already like like Conneticut or New Hampshire or something similar I might try to work there when i get out of college.
Washington is basically 2 weather regions, split by the Cascade Mountains. The coast is very wet and coastal, like England. Winter temps usually hover around 35°F, reaulting in cold
Hmmmm.....
It's a very long video but if y'all are interested in how this country connects together and why(partially) we became as powerful as we are, I'd recommend Real Life Lore's video titled "How Geography Made the US Ridiculously OP." There are things I don't care for at times about how he frames it but it's a really good video.
I know, I’m not a fan when the fact that we stole a bunch of land from others gets brought up. 🙄
@@marcom6089 That's not what I'm frustrated about. He didn't talk about that. The issue I have is he seems to go out of his way to paint every US action in the worst possible light, even when it's a huge stretch to do so.
Also, just as an aside, practically everywhere was "stolen" at some point so picking us out as if we're the only ones is stupid. History is messy.
So true, @@HistoryNerd808! Picking on the US for "stealing land" (or slavery or many other things) just shows how little some know about world history or the various times. That video sounds interesting but I don't think I could stand that kind of ignorance. What happened to the Native Americans is almost exactly what happened to the native English (Britons) after the Romans landed. Only difference? Those Britons had just one choice : Accept Roman rule or die.
Not to mention all those who cry for the Native Americans conveniently forget how hostile some Native Americas were to the settlers. Not all; the eastern tribes were much more accepting because most were already farmers. They, in fact, integrated smoothly early in America's development. The real trouble was that the western tribes were mostly hunter-gatherers that did not recognize land ownership and, also, often fought between themselves. It was their violence that led to much of the "slaughtering" that eventually took place.
BTW, the few Britons that survived (mostly, Wales, I believe) only did so because the Romans decided not to cross the small mountain range into Wales. In fact, because the Britons accepted Roman thinking so thoroughly, you might say it was that Roman influence of "organize, invade, take over" that led the first political envoys into America. And I do not mean the pilgrims, themselves, but the political powers behind them, mostly the British, French and Dutch.
@@marcom6089 They had been stealing each other's land for thousands of years.
@@HistoryNerd808 I for one don't mind when our country's crimes, problems, or atrocities are brought up in content like this because more often than not it's essential for understanding the meat and potatoes of the video. Some people like to play the whataboutism game and bring up all sorts of things to justify why they shouldn't have to feel guilty at all for these terrible things, but I don't see the point in that and I prefer to just accept what happened.
Sometimes, though, people have a tendency to repeatedly bring those things up even when it's not necessary or overemphasize over and over how bad these things are, and it gets annoying. Like, bro, I get it. Slavery, colonialism, genocide, and exploitation are bad, I'm totally on board with that, can we move on with the conversation please? I don't need you to explain to me that these things are bad; I already know they're bad.
Other than that, though, channels like Real Life Lore are great.
As far as income, you have to take into account the cost of living, even in the given state. In the videos you watched about housing, you saw that you can get more for your money if you get away from either coast.
It’s why a lot of people work on the coasts and then retire further in
Florida is 500 miles long and 160
miles wide at its most distant points. California, the third
largest state in the
United States, measures
560 miles from west to
east and 1040 miles from north to
south at its widest and longest.
Love you guys talking don’t apologize lol
1800 The income inequality in NY is staggering. So glad I moved out of NY over 10 year ago.
Good call. That state is a shithole.
Humidity is an issue on the east coast, where the west coast has much lower humidity, even right on the ocean. The east coast gets hit with hurricanes where the last hurricane to hit the west coast was in 1858 in San Diego. The west coast gets lots of earthquakes, where they are rare on the east coast. I live in eastern Washington, and my county has less than 5 people per square mile, compared with NYC 27,013 per square mile!! Millie said 1,700 likes in the beginning of the video, not the 1,800 likes she threw in at the end!!
South Pennsylvania is "Sub Tropical"? That's funny.
I wish the comparison's included National Park's, that to me is the true worth of any comparison
13:23 The word you were looking for is "interactions."
My daughter moved to the Adirondacks in upper New York, only a short drive to Vermont. I was surprised to find so many towns and streets named after places in the UK.
1800. Another great video. I was like James, smiling the whole video lol
I think what would have been great for yalls channel would be if you had documented yall trip to NYC
James and Milli, did you know that the state of Califonia is bigger than Great Britian in land mass? It isn't even the largest state!
I watch and like everything you do whether a tear or the gram or whatever You're discord channel I support you I hit the thumbs up before I even watch a video because I know it's going to be great much love from Pennsylvania
I do know that Seattle Washington gets about 200 rain days a year lol
Go to Texas and California and report back, Millie. Somehow I think you’ll change your mind.
The population in the the top four states is as follows : CA, TX, FL, and then NY. It is changing, because CA, and NY are losing population, while TX, and FL are gaining population.
Some of the biggest companies in the world are in California. Such as Apple, Google, Intel and Disney just to name a few. California also leads in agriculture. It actually recently went from 5th to 4th largest economy in the world.
Oh, you guys. It's not the population that makes Texas so wealthy. Or the brisket, for that matter. It's the OIL!
(Texas has plenty of high tech industry as well, of course. But oil is what makes it so very rich.)
I hung in there til the end…and you made your 1800 mark🎉
East Coast - hurricanes and Nor'easters. West Coast - earthquakes and wildfires. Third coast - lake effect snow, I guess. The Great Lakes region sometimes calls itself the third coast.
I've seen most of the coastal areas of the U.S. but I grew up on the Oregon coast and live there now. I like how rugged the coastline is, although there are plenty of wide open beaches. There is much less population density but the water is consistently around 55 F or about 13 C. Great vid! 1800
In San Francisco, the headquarters of these following companies are on the same street, Market St. downtown. Facebook/Meta, Google, Apple, Yahoo, Tesla, and Twitter. That speaks of the west coast’s financial influence.
1800, Millie and James are correct about the meaning and usage of the word "transaction". It can be financial or any other action that begets another action.
Colorado has a booming start-up industry and tech industry second to CA. We also have biosciences, advanced tech/manufacturing, aerospace, science and research labs, energy and natural resources. Cheyenne Mountain Air Force Base (not an industry but presidential bunker)- Space Force Installation, NORAD and other major Federal Facilities.
BS. Seattle has you beat eight ways till Sunday.
Lol. Everyone knows Denver airport has the updated secret bunker.
MA has more high tech, mostly software, and defense, than CO.
I'm in Florida, and I can get brisket if I show up at the central transit station on Fridays...
I live in washington, west coast, and i include hawaii and alaska on the west coast. Washington and oregon also have huge mountains and trees. In our trees, we have cute little chipmunks and squirrels and seagulls. Newyork(east) has pigeons. And dog sized sewer rats. We have crows ravens and sparrows maybe a pigeon.
We may have the highest gas rate in the US too 5.20 last month. Our mortgage is 860.00 where i think the average is closer to 1500-2000. Californias rates are crazy all over the board. Crime in los angeles and tacoma are bonkers, not so much in (the rest of the west side). Maybe portland with crime. The Mormon and Christian influence are pretty apparent over here, i think that stifles the crime. Where in Jersey, theyll cap you then pray for forgiveness.
We also have a larger international boom factor by like 10x.
1800 - you should watch lisa cimmorelli and tyler ward singing rain in affrica by todo. Cheers!
Happy proud Texan here, who did this video? Asking because some of the states he mentioned to be apart of the east coast like Florida I've never heard of anyone there describe being east coast. I've heard them claim southern but never east coast. Usually it's the northeastern part that people in US think of with east coast. Maybe some can chime in on that but just sharing what I've heard. In Texas
we do BBQ different from anywhere else beef, pork, sausage, chicken.
Texas has its own class of Texmex or authentic Mexican, Cuban, Spanish cuisine. Our GDP has always been high nothing new oil mainly. A lot of companies have left California and came here recently so Californias GDP has come down actually. California has the biggest homeless population some in California are rich not all. New York as well same thing. It's sad! The average income thing is off as well. Thanks much love from Texas!

Minus Chicago, Texas and Colorado
I find it remarkable that you two are still splitting a set of wired headphones. ;-)
They do it so they can hear each other when they talk but I still think it's kind of endearing.
Amusing to continue to hear J&M references to "Hollywood". Blissfully unaware of L.A. locales and the few select California places where celebs and the affluent do tend to live.
Im in Michigan and it reaches 100 f in the summer regularly
If you look at a map of the roads in the US you can see how much more populated it is. There is a lot of space that has very few roads in the middle of the country. There are a lot of farm areas in the middle part of the country so that is one good reason why there are not as many people. A lot of land for crops and animals. The middle part of the country feeds the east and the west for the most part.
Humidity, favorite sports, favorite pastimes, whose landmarks are more famous? Thise are the differences off the top of my head. Oh yeah, and types of natural disasters more likely to occur. Also food... All those could have their own videos, really.
1800...See, I watched it all...Now going to watch some more. :)
This started out good, but seemed to fall apart. This wasn't a 1:1 comparison. He pulled up maps & just said "if you look that area has more" but didn't actually extract the data and place it side by side like he did with land size & population. I also feel like including PA & NH while excluding AK, HI, NV, AZ was wrong.
The statement (12:02) is wrong - the guy doesn’t know how to interpret the data. 100 is the national average. Anything above (like 107) it is more expensive than the average - anything below it (like 93) is less expensive than the average. To answer Millie’s observation about people leaving California, the map shows why. People make much more money in California than in Texas, but it costs much more to live there. Texans earn less and their rent costs (plus everything else) are much cheaper. People can work remotely for their California company while living in Texas. Same with Florida. They’re CHEAP states - that’s why. Not because of natural beauty or climate certainly.
People left CA for two straight years during vivid, in which CA being the most populated state had the most case of Covid. The population stopped declining in 2023 and people started moving back.
The weather on both sides are affected by the unique ocean conditions. Gulf stream ect...
Washington state and Oregon have a lot of terrain that you can’t build on for people to live and some parts of California as well. Florida might be the only state that is bigger from the east coast but California, Oregon, and Washington are all bigger than the other 16 states he mentioned.
Florida is not nearly as large as the 3 western states.
I live on the foot hills of the cascades in Oregon. Primary everyone lives in the valley.
@@Killswitch1411 On the western side?
all you need to know: Cali is the most populous state in the country, and by a very wide margin also. That is why they have the highest GDP, it pretty much flows along population patterns.
True in general, but New York has a lower population than Florida with a higher GDP than the state of Florida. Per capita GDP matters as well as population.
California is 2.5 times the size of Florida - they aren’t remotely similar in size. Oregon is 1.5 times the size of Florida. Even Washington is larger.
1800, as some one who was born in WY lived half my childhood in CA and my adult life in D.C. the east and the west are VERY different. People are generally nicer on the west coast, The east is EXTREAMLY diverse while in the east is your 80% more likely to find people and work with people from all over the world my work alone has people from over 20 countries like Russia, Zimbabwe, and the middle east has a very big population while in CA your mainly going to see those from Mexico on the bottom half and people from India in north CA in san Fran and such. CA has this laid back care about your looks way more then the east were there always in a rush and a lot of culture clothing. As Virginia is tech a 'southern' state we have our share of rednecks. And don't forget the way people speak in CA. The surfer thing sure... but mostly we talk a million miles an hour. When i moved to the east i had to work on slowing down my words.
1) For largely political reasons, there are now conventional wisdoms or memes that "everyone is leaving California" and "everyone is moving to Texas." While there are more people leaving California for other states than moving in from them, this is true of many of the states with high costs of living. The population of California is still growing from a higher birth than death rate. Like everywhere else in the world, the cost of living is higher in Texas cities than the rural areas. I will say that to an outsider, the cost of living in general and real estate prices in particular seem absurdly high in California.
2) There are several reasons why the population is lower in the West than in the East, perhaps the most crucial of which is water. Except for the coastal areas of Washington, Oregon, and northern California, and the mountains where it snows, the land of the West is desert or semi-desert. There are more than 20 million people in southern California, nearly all of whom receive their drinking water from hundreds of kilometers away. Most the "fruit and veg" grown in the U.S. comes from irrigated farms in these dry regions, and there simply is no longer enough water. I fear we are headed for a massive and sudden agricultural crisis when the wells and rivers run dry. We know the crisis is approaching but have yet done little to prepare.
3) Texas's GDP is higher than that of the state of New York because it has 9 million more people, and also because parts of the New York City metropolitan area are located in nearby New Jersey and Connecticut.
4) At 12:00, the original video is wrong about the composite cost of living index. A score of more than 100 indicates a cost higher than the national average or median, not that everyone is spending more than they earn. That would be unsustainable.
California actually has just passed Germany to become the 4th largest economy in the world.
No it hasn’t. That’s a projection based on an extremely pessimistic outlook for the German economy and a rather rosy outlook for California’s. California is still about a $1 trillion behind Germany in economic terms.
As people think the west coast money is because of the movie and music industry but the truth is the west coast is more the technology of the country.
When the narrator says the cost of living is over 100 it isn't that it costs more then you can make to live. It means it takes more then one income to support a family. So both Mom and Dad have to work to fully support a family which is arbitrarily a family of 4, two parents and two kids, a boy and girl.
He chose to include Pennsylvania and Vermont in the East Coast...which aren't on the East Coast...but doesn't include Alaska in the West Coast even though it's literally on the West Coast.
Pennsylvania & Vermont ARE on the East coast. I live on the east coast in Massachusetts!
Pennsylvania and Vermont are on the east coast. DUH
@@dianatopoulos5602 And I live on the West Coast and own a map. Neither state is on the East Coast. Is Arizona on the West Coast? Figure it out.
@@passingthroughtime3033 You have a river that connects to the Atlantic Ocean, dipsh-t. You're not on the East Coast anymore than Minnesota is on the Gulf of Mexico.
PA I understand because shipping comes up to Philly via the Delaware River and is a major port city. Many immigrants came through the Philly port. It was once the largest ship yard in the nation. There is also a Naval Shipyard dating back to 1776. Vermont does not qualify from a geographical sense, but it might be due to influence from New Hampshire. Which is why some might add Nevada to the West Coast due to the influence from California on western Nevada (Lake Tahoe, Reno).
We have to remember the headquarters for Amazon and Starbucks are located in Seattle Washington. Washington state is no slouch.
I’m not sure why he arbitrarily excluded Alaska and Hawaii from the West Coast. They are both officially included. Also, sometimes Idaho and Nevada are included although they have no coastline but then neither does Pennsylvania and he included that! It makes no sense.
Because they aren’t on the coast of the mainland. They are geographically unique and isolated.
I lived in Hawai'i. Absolutely no local or Hawaiian person I knew considered it part of the west coast.
One thing you have to consider is that the east coast was settled for decades before people started trickling west. America developed in a gradual, piecemeal fashion. For example, Arizona (where I live) didn’t become a state until 1912. So a lot of the east coast states had been populated and built up for 130+ years, first as British colonies and then American states, before AZ achieved statehood. People migrated west gradually, in stages. First is was stalled by the Appalachian Mountain Range, then the Mississippi River, etc. so it makes sense that the population would be lower.
I live on the East coast... Massachusetts. Right on the Atlantic Ocean. Florida is Southeast.
California, Arizona, New Mexico, and Texas all border Mexico and were once part of Mexico which is why those states have more Latin/Hispanic residents. South Florida has a lot of Latin/Hispanics because it is close to Cuba.
Florida was also a colony of Spain as well as the West Coast of United States 🤟🔥
Washington…. Cool and humid, Florida…warm and humid
When you talking about how much someone making you have to look what it costs I know a guy when he was in New Jersey he was renting a 2 bedroom house no driveway about 10 feet between homes he moved to South Carolina for the same price of his rent he was paying he got a 4 bedroom home with 2 car garage on 5 acres so it not what you are making it were you at my cousins 15 years ago moved to
NYC a one bedroom apartment was $4700 a month
Compare and contrast
one thousand eight hundred. (a.k.a., 1,800)
It's also way cheaper to live in the Midwest and Southern U.S.!! Half or less in rent or mortgage cost compared to California or New York!! For instance, in the Hancock Park area of Los Angeles County I live in is mostly a Middle to Upper Middle class area with Multi-Million dollar Condos, Townhouses and traditional homes, were in the Midwest and Southern U.S., those same homes would be worth and costs, 60%-80% less.
I live in the East Coast next to close to New York by like 3hours.
I live 90 minutes from Lake George ,New York.
We have way better pizza here on the east coast!
People are moving out of California.. they actually lost four seats in congress. Mainly due to high taxes and cost of living
Lots of actors and production companies have actually been moving to Georgia. Lots of tax haven incentives.

Actually, some universities on the east coast date to the 17th century.
Texas has oil and refineries
What is funny is the east and west coast are way more similar than they are from the middle of the country!
The thing is, the Midwest and Southern U.S. are under developed and poor for many reasons, in general! The West and East Coasts have the most educated and skilled Americans living there, tech industries, banking and financial HQs, top healthcare companies and hospitals, universities, etc.
The standard of living is higher in both Coasts and people are way more Liberal there, too!
A lot of people are moving from California to Texas it's like a mass mass Exodus

One of the last places in the country I would want to live
The oceans affects the weather..Japanese current flows from Alaska to the Mexican border...the east coast has the Gulf Stream which flows from Florida to Maine...California water is basically cold while the east coast water is warmer. The Washington coastline is rainforest and while they are northern, they do not have the snow of the same latitude of the east coast. Going inland, off the ocean all changes. The Rocky Mountains and the prevailing flow of weather dominates. areas east of the mountains limiting the rain.The norther tier along the Canadian border has fierce cold and heavy snow, the farther south becomes drier still and less cold with less snow. The joker in the deck is the polar flow down the east side of the Rockies which meets up with the warm moist flow northward from the Gulf of Mexico. Cold air sinks, hot air rises, so right in the middle there is rain and tornados.
I have often thought that the reason the west coast is so liberal is that their weather is sunnier and milder...and the migration out of California isnt sending folks into the northern states but into Texas and Florida. As your fellow Brit (Lost In the Pond) would tell you, it takes some real will power to love the winters in the north. Keeps ones feet firmly planted in reality.
You two are fun! Next time I go to the UK I'd love to be a guest and help explain things that might befuddle you.

The biggest cause of climate differences on the east and west coasts is the ocean currents. On the east coast the gulf stream flows from the south to north bringing warm water to the north. On the west coast, the ALaska Current brings cold water from Alaska south. Living in New England, where ocean temperatures in the summer can exceed 75 degrees, I was shocked at the temperatures of the waters off of California and how cold they were, even in August.
Hahahah ya. Growing up in CA we would go to the beaches in the summer and swim until we were so numb it was hard to move, got out and warmed up in the sun, and then went back in again
I hear Southern California has somewhat warmer waters but up here in Northern California it’s quite cold 😂
