I lived in So Cal (particularly the northern cities of Orange County) for most of my life. I happened to visit NYC and DC, but for very short periods. On the contrary, my father stayed a lot at DC, Long Island, NYC, New England (especially the Boston Metroplex) and he has always stated that the REAL luxury is in the east coast cities, and not in the west. Who agrees with this statement??
It's worthy to note that my father wasn't impressed with Colorado Springs.

If you want to measure wealth in that regard, then in my opinion, the east coast has more disposeable income, more more money and better educational institutions.
Affluence doesn't impress me much.

Boston has a wealthy history and a varied neighbourhood; it's a legacy of arts, tradition, and education; Boston has anything for anyone therefore discover what Boston can provide you with with hotelbye . The three-mile Freedom Trail brings you previous - and into - 16 of the city's primary old monuments and sites. It's simple to follow, by the line of red stones in the pavement and by footprints at road crossings. The walk can get you to Old Granary Burying Ground where Paul Revere, Samuel Adams, and John Hancock are hidden; will get you to King's Chapel Burying Ground, the Boston's oldest cemetery; Old South Meeting House where the ringing speeches of patriots spawned the Boston Tea Party and the Old State House, Boston's oldest public building and the website of the Boston Massacre.

Portions of both coasts are extremely wealthy - things may have changed a lot since your father visited those areas. While DC, NYC and Boston are still very expensive, portions of LA, Santa Barbara, Monterey, La Jolla the Bay area and Napa and so on are also very exclusive. California has a more laid-back lifestyle, but there are some extremely wealthy people here who prefer that.

What are you basing "wealth" on? Homes? People's incomes? Cost of living?
There are a lot of older beautiful homes, you might consider mansions on the east coast. In particular in Newport Rhode Island, where the mega wealthy from the early 1900s in NYC went to "summer". Remember that air conditioning is a modern convienince that didn't exist prior to WWII. The Venderbilts as example used to take their entire household (furniture/silver/dishes etc..) and move it from NYC to Newport RI every summer. They built mega mansions out of stone - granite & marble - to summer in on the cliffs overlooking the ocean there. Look up the "Breakers" or Marble House mansions in Newport to see them. There are 100's of similar opulant summer homes found all over New England because the wealthy New Yorkers used to "summer" on Cape Cod or Maine etc.... You don't find that type of stuff in the west. The other thing about these older east coast homes is they were built to last, the Breakers is solid stone, you couldn't even burn it down. The wealthy lumber barons from the early 1900's built their homes out of mahogany and other exotic woods, which don't rot out. Those homes look as good today as they did in 1920 when they were built. We don't build homes out of those materials today.
Regarding income, that is closely tied to cost of living. The highest cost of living in the US is the San Francisco Bay area. Therefore you will find the highest average incomes there. However it's all realtive. I could make more money per hour in the bay area, but I would have to spend more to live there. So my standard of living would be virtually the same.
I've lived in S. Cal (Ventura), Seattle, Phoenix, Ft. Collins (CO), Indianapolis and now S. New Hampshire. My standard of living is virtually the same - my income fluctuates depending on location, but that doesn't mean I have more or less disposable income.

What is "weathier"? Wealthier? Or perhaps has more weather?
You could argue that the variety of types of land to its west DOES increase the variety of weather that the East coast sees over the West coast.
On the other hand, there's lots of old money there too.
