What is the difference in terms of lifestyle? culture? pace? competition?
Plenty of information would be appreciated.
People in California are, for the most part, more liberal than their Midwestern counterparts. You will find more people in California concerned with external superficialities such as: cars, homes, plastic surgery. In other words: how things _look._Of course geography would be an influence on the difference of these two areas. It_s more sunny on the west coast, therefore more people go to the beaches and etc. Whereas the midwest, I hear they do farming? I personally wouldn_t know. To keep it plain and simple, the west is far more diverse.
