San Diego is one of the most conservative cities in California due to the huge military presence so it has that going for it as well.
Unfortunately, they aren't immune to the homeless issues that plague the rest of the state. San Diego and Santa Monica were homeless havens well before the current crisis.

Not really. The north coast is not the same. Crescent City, Eureka, Fort Bragg, Mendocino, Bodega Bay, Mill Valley, Sausalito, SF and Monterey are cold and foggy. Coastal Norcal is windy and gray for months at a time. The best areas for weather are inland about 20-30 miles. It's a narrow band of temperate climates before you hit the central valley and then it's too hot for a chunk of the year. Depends on the year though. This spring was cold and rainy, and everyone on my gardening groups is complaining that they lost their peach and plum crops. My elephant heart plum will have no fruit this year. It will be interesting to see how the vineyards produce.
That's what I love about it though. Living in Florida I've gotten plenty of sunshine. Honestly I'm kind of over it. That's why I have no desire for San Diego or Orange County.
I actually want a place that's on the coast and is a stable 40s-50s at night and 60s-70s during the day. Yes I still want to see the sun at times but after being in Florida and just the south in general I enjoy the cold/foggy days when we get it.

You rarely see the 70s highs on the north coast. But you might like that! I can't deal with the wind. Sonoma and Marin counties frequently get the coastal fog in the morning, but it burns off by 12-1 and warms up the rest of the day, then right back down to night temps of 40s-50s. And not too much wind. But the cost to buy there now is pretty high. My house is worth 3x what I bought it for ten years ago.

This winter was an anomaly but San Diego was the cloudiest city in the lower 48 in May and there was not one clear day from Feb 15 through the end of May.

It's high desert, so that means your lawn will die, especially with the new water restrictions.
Sounds good to me. A small rock yard and no yard maintenance anymore.
OTOH, I'll have to force my wife to moisterize at all times so that she doesn't look like all the dried up prunes out there.

We've been to Santa Fe often. The culture isn't for us. Couldn't get used to all the hairy armpits and patchouli smell.

Sorry you're stuck and don't have the ability to move.

Number one answer on the board. That’s where you go if you plan on being homeless.

If you want "best" year round, you're gonna need more than one domicile.
San Diego? Sure, it's overall nice, but who doesn't mind a little snow from time to time?
Mountains? Not too exciting in the middle of February when it's freezing arse vold and you're tired of 5 straight months of cold days.
Honestly, if I didn't have to stay put in one location and had the money, I'd get a place in Monterey, CA, place in Vermont, then a place in Florida. A probably toss in another one in the heartland.

Downtown Seattle is basically Thunderdome but there are parts of Washington State that I really like. It is hard to drive around Gig Harbor and not want to move to that area.

My aunt lived in Gig Harbor, I agree it's a beautiful place. My aunt had a hard time with winter. Months of rain and no sun and very early sunset times. But in the summer, it's glorious! Doesn't get dark until almost 10pm.

You should move to Death Valley. The real one. Sure, it is already 109°, but the heat index makes that temp feel cooler than your current low 90s with a 900° dew point.

I like the Louisiana heat. And winters are mild.

Wife just got back from there and that's what got us started thinking about it. Small towns, rural, and not a lot of real estate, though, as a result.

I love the Big Sur/Carmel/Monterey/Seaside/Marina area. We used to have family friends who lived in Carmel 5 months out of the year in a rental. Sadly that rental went up by several thousand a month over several years and now they just have to Airbnb/VRBO it. Sadly they are down to only being in Carmel for 1 month out of the year and then usually around Christmas/New Year's (they go see their daughter in LA for the week of Christmas and then head up to Carmel after that for an additional week).
They simply can't afford it anymore. Plus they said it's changed due to all the foreign Asian investors and not for the better. I haven't been to Carmel/Monterey since 2015 and want to get back but even hotel rates are ridiculous.
It would be the perfect area but way out of our budget. Sadly that's probably most of the California coast. My hope is maybe somewhere far north California or in Oregon would still be relatively affordable.
