Well, this is the thing. There are a handful of days each year when it is SO great here that nowhere could possibly be better. But, if a person likes sunshine (actual sunshine, the kind that throws shadows and all), and likes hot, dry weather in the summer (85-100 degrees) and cold dry weather in the winter, including SNOW (10-25 degrees)...well, a lot of inland areas fill the bill.

I do love it here in many ways. However, I do really miss actual HOT weather in the summer, and actual cold SNOW all winter. And, I miss low humidity like you get inland, and in the Rockies, and the desert.
