Where is Death Valley on this list? It's dry and plenty warm, in the summer. Summers in Bakersfield, for example, are HOT, super HOT, so hot that combined with the tasteful cow and factory worker air that it's hard to breath. (worst air pollution in the country) The winters are dismal, cold without any chance of snow or anything fun besides the chance of death. San Diego, as horrible as is it sounds, is always sunny. Doesn't get nearly as cold, never a frost by the coast, with it's almost year round temp 70 (summers) - 60 (a cold winter day) With the warm Santa Annas maybe getting to 80, low 90's in the east, for a few days out of the year. It's a hard life for those who can afford it. Not sure what sadochist thinks that anyplace who has triple digits all summer long, with maybe lows in the 90′s is a good place to live.

I have to now disagree that CA should be in the mix. The economy here is one of the worst and most expensive. No longer a great place to raise a family or have your kids come home. I'd like to see an overall rating with a great town, friendly people, average income and mostly nice weather throughout the year. Any one know? I live in Manhattan Beach, CA. Great town, great weather, but it's too crowded, too many cars, houses butt up against each other, no yards, expensive and not friendly.

Just when you're tired of snow, it warms up and melts away. Summers can be hot, in the city but no humidity, and nights cool down, and escape to the mountains. Where else can you ski in the morning and golf in the afternoon? No place else besides Colorado. Colorado, Utah, New Mexico have the best weather of all. Denver can be cold, but it seldom lasts long.

Statistics are objective. "Best" and "worst" are subjective. Some people LOVE cloudy weather. Some people LOVE snow. Some people LOVE cool or cold conditions. Some people LOVE rain. Yes, some people love the opposite too, but you already assume that. The point is that you can't assume that. BEST for some people is a place that is always cloudy, cool, and maybe drizzly. For others, it is hot and sunny, for some it may be cold and sunny, and for yet others it may be warm and cloudy, maybe with thunderstorms. Everyone is DIFFERENT. Please understand that.

Its humid in the summer no doubt, but from a perspective of people, cost of living, history, and the sheer character (or lack of) of the people, its my favorite place. Keep the desert give me K'lina in the Pines. Places I have lived:
Arkansas
Colorado
California (southern and northern)
Washington State
Wyoming
Carolina (that is South Carolina)
New York
Toronto
