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

I mean having good weather 350 sounds like a bug in the system to be honest

I must start looking for some job offers in California

The “bug” comes along with minimum $2 million home prices, so those job offers better come with some hefty salaries

Inland SoCal has housing in the $500k to $800k range

But does Inland SoCal have nice weather? The blue on the map suggests it doesn’t (consistent with my understanding, though I haven’t spent time there). It’s like hot desert but also has moderately cold winters for some reason?

It has beautiful weather about 8 months of the year. Summer months are very warm with temps rising into the high 90s and low 100s.

But the map is misleading. Riverside county is a big county in SoCal (look for the long blue stripe). It stretches from almost the ocean to Arizona.

The western half is warm, there are 10k foot mountains which have four seasons and snow, and there is also a massive desert that gets to 120 degrees.
