I grew up in the midwest and currently live in Flatbush. I have to say that I think the difference between the two is over rated. There are nice people, fast people, slow people and patient and impatient people in both places. As a general rule though the east coast is slightly more competitive than oot. I think the biggest difference I found in the two places is that oot the schools are much more of a mix so the yeshivish kids are exposed to less yeshivish kids and visa versa. Being that the kids grow up more exposed to all jews they come out more open minded and less in a bubble of their “type”
