For me, "Faroe Islands" takes the cake. Seattle is too harshly wet in winter and New Zealand is too warm and has lots of earthquakes.

In America, San Diego is considered GOAT. Overall a great smaller city.

Clean neighborhoods. Beach, suburbia and big city dreams. International flavor especially Mexican roots. Marines and Navy for conservative angle. Native American inland. Overall respect. No one lays claim to this land.

The only place I would give up for San Diego is my hometown. Most my good buddies in SD are born and raised.

Oh ya, 72 degrees all year

And sand volleyball. Good shit. All of that stuff is fun 2-3 months a year. But any more just makes for miserable days going to work or wherever, solo walks outside are just impossible, and then you have sweltering muggy mornings and high A/C (electric) bills.

4 seasons FTW. A summer in coastal Cali would be nice, but I wouldn't like to live there full time even if there were no state income taxes, hipsters or quakes.

Don't you live in CA right now?

San Antonio tows the line between hot variant on mediterranean (July-Sep is very hot and quite dry and the winters are quite mild and wet) and tropical (high humidity outside of the hot summer months).

The thing about a Tropical place like Florida is that you'll get pretty fed up with monsoon summer season, high electric bills and no relief from the heat/mugginess at night (80º overnight lows with 94% humidity... count me out). Basically in FL you get 3 summers and a very wet and humid season when most of the country is having summer. At least in coastal CA it cools down at night. Overnight lows are reasonable unlike in TX/FL/most of Dixieland. In Coastal CA, overnight lows even on the warmest nights still drop into the upper 60s with at most 65-70% humidity.

I agree. SA is bad. Dallas is less bad but still bad. Houston is worse than either. The humidity is super oppressive the farther east you go in the South. Houston/NOLA have quite similar climates to places like Mumbai and Chennai in India.

Dry heat is better, but you gotta pack extra Aveeno if you have a psoriasis prone face like me. :lol

We've been getting early winters in Texas, especially North Texas a lot lately. The weather gets really cold in mid October but it's oddly warmer in October and November than February and March. odd.

Maybe if you're in the mountains? But there's no real cities in the mountains there. The populated parts of Cuba are just oppressively hot and humid, and like you said, the sun beats down on you like crazy when it's not raining (and it rains a lot).

My experience in Cuba is fairly limited tbh

Most of the time I was in a resort so I spent a lot of time in the ocean :lol (lol people who fly to the Carribbeans to swim in a pool) or sipping cold cocktails (lol people who fly to the Carribbeans to drink beer)

I spent a day in Havana and also visited a sugar cane plantation; it was hot but no too humid on those days (I guess it was exceptional)

I went to Cuba twice (for a total of 2 weeks) it rained only once, but it was during February-March

yeah Jan-March is their relatively dry season, since it's well outside of hurricane season and most of the winter cold-front troughs are well displaced to the north, with no tropical waves from the west, no TUTT (a sort of monsoonal trough that digs down starting in May and another one in October-November), etc.

so you're not really getting an exchange-rate deal by going there either. seems like a mediocre deal honestly. most of those type of places (at least the ones that aren't extremely a tourist economy like Jamaica and part of the Bahamas) you can go there with $100 cash and live like a king for a couple weeks.
