Northeast. You get snow and hail but you can plan for those. That's about it.

It’s ver very rare. But they have had hurricanes make landfall. It’s also flooded up there before. shite NY flooded recently.

This sounds right.

The answer is Corvallis, OR. No tsunamis, no hurricanes, tornadoes are extremely rare, thunderstorms are rare, rare excessive heat, never excessive cold, snow is rare and disappears quickly, not in lahar path of volcano. Risks are earthquakes and wildfires, both of which can be mitigated by building design and fire wise land management. Wildfires are typically further east, with Eastern Oregon taking the brunt of them due the drier climate and more frequent thunderstorms.

East Tenn gets some decent storms and tornadoes. I think West NC side of the mountains would be the better choice. Break up the storms coming from the west and far enough inland for hurricanes.

East coast was raped by hurricanes last year

That wouldn't be my deciding criteria. But the west Tx triangle of Alpine, Fort Davis, and Marfa fit this bill. The folks that live here get a steady diet of NPR.

Does Central/South America count? That might be the winner, but then again, you’ll be sold to a sex trafficking ring, so maybe a hurricane isn’t all that bad.

Phoenix. But it's going to be REALLY hot in July-August. And the whole place might run out of water eventually.

Denver
While Denver has generally pretty mild weather (in the context of still having true four seasons), we have risks of tornadoes (east of I-25), wildfires, extreme winter weather every few years, and there have also been some pretty disastrous floods along the front range through the years

Northern Mississippi and Alabama have experienced a great amount of tornadoes in the past decade.
Yeah - Oklahoma City, Dallas, Shreveport, Little Rock, Memphis, Birmingham, Jackson, and even Atlanta are in what's probably the most dangerous place for long track tornados.
I'm sure there is a part of the gulf south somewhere that doesn't get the worst of the hurricanes but is also far enough south to avoid the worst of Dixie alley. Maybe something like Waco, Alexandria, or McComb?

I agree - but I'd add in the Charlotte to Greensboro corridor. That is far enough inland to be protected from hurricanes and still gets four seasons.

South Dakoka has tornados and either one you can die from cold if your car breaks down.

I've lived in Kansas City for most of my life and have never seen a tornado. We get them I guess, but not very often. Worst we really get is severe thunderstorms.

Volcanoes, hurricanes, floods, fires. Just a few of the happenings in recent years.
Statistically speaking, this is the correct answer. Even with the volcanos. Catastrophic eruptions are "rare" and so are the floods and hurricanes.
