Are people who don't live on the east coast happier?

I hear sun makes people feel good...

until it mutates cells and gives you cancer anyways

Yup. It's like that in every country. The more crowded and urbanized a place is, the more negative the people are.

The city is where class differences become apparent to everyone. That's why...

I was going to write a long paragraph, but in short, you're right

Some of the best times I spent were in Great Falls, Montana

Some of the most miserable people I met lived in Westport, Weston, Easton and the other rich little towns of Fairfield Cty CT where I lived for quite a while

They also didn't seem to have much sex

I developed a silly theory that sex drive decreases in indirect proportion to the size of the huge mortgage

I live in WA state. Kinda like living in a different country. No sun over here though. Sun does tend to help. Happier? can't answer that. It is all in the person.
