East coasters tend to be assholes. If you want nice neighbors, go to Minnesota or Alaska. They're 99% white, cause almost no nigger can stomach -40. There are many Russian cucks and gays these days. Moscow has numerous gay bars and clubs. What you described is really the difference between urban and rural folk. This difference transcends countries and borders.

when i was a kid in Kiev my sadist Jew father tried to make me lose my toes by refusing to go home in -30 celsius weather when my shoes were wet and lost all thermal insulation.
since then i am also not a big fan of Minnesota style winters. but i think i could handle a Boston winter - it's only a few degrees colder than NY / NJ and those are fairly mild.
