LA/San Diego have perfect weather by comparison, and as importantly, a completed grid of beautiful interstate highways 😍😍😍
Most of Los Angeles has the kind of heat the East Coast is now experiencing most days all summer, except within a mile of the ocean (even hotter in the San Fernando Valley). It also has more miles of freeway that are slowed to a bumper-to-bumper crawl every day than anywhere else.
Our resident weather complainer lives in NewYork City which is 90% buildings and roadways. Even surrounded by water these take a long time to cool down after a long sunny day. In fact the water creates so much humidity it does more to keep the nights uncomfortable than to help cooling even with onshore breezes.
I lived there for 42 years with no airconditioning at home. It was rough but as a kid in the 50s and 60s no one had A/C.
Stating that you lived in New York isn't the flex you think it is. I don't even visit popular destinations/take part in typical New Yorker activities because I can't stand the culture so much that I want to "boycott" as much of the NYC experience as possible before my dad retires and we move. I don't want to "look" or "seem" like a "New Yorker" when outside doing stuff. Everyone bashes California like it's some stereotype but NY is basically all the negatives of California x10, with none of the positives. Worse Traffic, worse weather, worse food, worse personalities, more mental illness, less beautiful highways...etc. I try and spend more of money in Long Island where possible. NYC isn't even technically the mainland of the United States with the exception of the Bronx, just a bunch of islands stopped together lol, and Staten Island is just...pffftt 😆😆

It's obvious "culture" isn't your thing.
