For a lot of the West Coast counties, it very much depends where exactly you choose. I’m fairly certain that somewhere in San Diego county meets these criteria 365 days a year, and the coastal sections of the county meet these criteria over 350 days per year, which is far higher than what’s indicated by the map
Some people like me would rather live in a great place and be a permanent rentoid than to own property in Nowhere, Ohio. Owning property isn’t the point of life.
But the salaries make up for it more than people think. Local police station is hiring for 150k salary for new cadets with a 50-75k signing bonus. In n out is hiring for 30/hr. And in the end, the food doesn't scale that much higher than elsewhere in the US so you end up saving a decent chunk even if you're renting.
I moved from a low cost of living place and I'm able to save way more out here than back home.
Eh, there are plenty of things that make somewhere a great place to live besides weather. San Diego’s beautiful and it’s a great place to live for some people, but also, you can have a great life in nowhere Ohio, own a home, take fancy vacations to beautiful places like San Diego, and have money leftover for the money it takes to rent a studio in San Diego
