Mediterranean Europe is significantly cooler than LA in the winter. High temps below 13 C are unheard of in LA, while high temps on the northern Mediterranean coast average 13 C in winter. Summers are also hotter and more humid on the inland sea, with frequent Saharan heat domes crossing the Med to roast southern Europe.
Yeah, I live in Irrelevantville Midwest and like the four seasons, my family/friends/career are here, I like the low(ish) taxes, and I like my nice 4 bedroom home with half acre lot outside of a small city only costing 200k.
SoCal is nice if you're giga rich which 98% of people are not. It's generally beautiful with the ocean and the mountains but you have to put up with lots of problems as a result of that.

gee I wonder why he doesn't move to where you are?
it must suck to let politics blind you this much
yea the government in California is lame as frick and there are addiction and homeless issues rampant running through the cities, but California has unparalleled natural beauty as well as biodiversity
Yosemite, Sequoia, Kings Canyon, the Mojave, central coast beaches, Big Sur, taking the PCH/5 from border to border...
Personally, I prefer Colorado's highland climate, especially in summer. In the past winters I have spent in the USA, I have found the Arizona low desert to be sunnier, drier and more comfortable than the SoCal coast. Plus, there is far more room to camp and explore.
Southern France. Northern Spain. Portugal. Southern Italy. Greece. Turkey. The Balkans. Israel. Lebanon. Cyprus. Southern Australia. Also maybe Azerbaijan? Crimea?
Argentina too.
I always thought it weird that Spain ended up "discovering" land almost identical to their own. They're not even on the same latitude as Mexico and California.
The Canary Islands and the Moroccan coast have a mild climate, but see more summer humidity than LA - though as the ocean warms, LA is becoming increasingly muggy in late summer and early fall.
Tropical highland regions 5000-7000 ft elevation have more desirable temps than LA, but generally see far less sunshine, as the tropical moisture condenses into clouds as it rises.
Manizales, Colombia is at 7000 ft, but it sees frequent cloudy and rainy conditions. Also, it is nowhere near a beach.
The Ethiopian highlands have a wet and dry season; in the dry season, Addis Ababa or Asmara is sunny and 75 every day. Nairobi, Kenya and other African highland regions also have extremely mild temperatures.
I've actually found the SoCal coast to be uncomfortably chilly and damp almost every time I visited in winter, with frequent overcast conditions. "Perfect" climate averages do not make for perfect daily weather.

There people who actually live in the midwest while SoCal exists lmao

Midwest is souless compared to northeast weather. Kys souless npc

I would rather live in a trailer park in Oklahoma than spend any amount of time in California

South East Queensland/ Northern NSW is similar, although a bit warmer in summer.
The Canary islands.
You must be joking
Lots of Mediterranean options. I find Spain and parts of Italy most similar, personally. The terrain isn’t too far off, either.

Perfect climate for the homeless
