    I lived in many states and among all the places I have lived, the best is Denver and Newton in Iowa. Worst is bay area.

    What is so good about BAY AREA, tell me. My husband and I left bay area as we were fed up with the quality of life and the people. Walk into a desi store, how many of them say Hi or Thank You. They think they are doing you a big favour of selling goods to you. I don't go to desi store in Bay Area. But if you go to Indian grocery store in other states that I have lived in they are polite. When I was in bay area, I go to Ranch Market in Cupertino, fast, polite, excellent service. Why would I give business to people who don't have basic manners even to say thank you. Also I find the Indians in bay area, just stare, no Hi, Hello. But when you live in area with less Indians they are much nicer. On the whole I hate Bay Area..

    I gotta agree with you about the politeness of the DESIs in the Bay Area.. folks wont learn the GOOD from the WEST, they will learn how to be NASTY

    have been stuck up in the BA over a decade cant compare any other places as I dont know them much...

    I agree with you. I loved the midwest for the people ... had to come to bay area just for jobs, otherwise i dont like it here.

    I have stayed in around 20 states so far and midwest comes first followed by north east.The only drawback that i could think of is the weather. Schools were toprated there too!!!

    I just feel it is nice and to be polite. I like the westeners for their politeness which we can learn. But I think it is wrong of me to say westeners. I am from Singapore and my family hardly have any relatives in India as we have been in Singapore for generations. Back in Singapore people are friendly too regardless whether they are Indians, Malays or Chinese, I find Indians from India to have this attitude. I agree about the weather fantastic in Bay area, but I cant stay there just on that. You stayed in 20 states then you are very much like me too. We keep travelling bcoz we work in SAP field. I like North East too, love Connecticut and Vermont but the best to me was Newton, Iowa, love, love, love the people, learnt a lot from them.
