I live here in South Bay and while I do love the weather, it is a bit colder than ideal.

I think SoCal especially San Diego definitely has better and more consistent weather. San Diego is an amazing city apart from weather as well!

Meanwhile my childhood hometown is not dipping below 30C this week, and the highs every day are above 43C…

Currently in San Diego with the windows and doors open, enjoying the slightly cool air coming in. Great place to live and seems like more tech companies are moving down. Sadly the housing and rent are becoming increasingly inaccessible.

Water too.

I applaud the San Diego Water Authority's efforts to diversify their sources. The Carlsbad desalination plant receives the most local coverage, but it's the investments in reclamation that will be vital in the coming decades.

Yeah I think no question San Diego has the best weather of CA, followed by maybe Santa Barbara. South Bay LA (on the coast, not to be confused with South Bay, Bay area) is also usually really great and consistent year-round but if you go inland at all the weather can be dramatically different.

Anywhere on the southern californian coast has perfect weather. The seabreeze keeps things from ever breaching 85* even in the strongest heat waves.

Long Beach gets the most sea breeze south of Ventura

But you also get all the air pollution from the port of LA/LB, so thats why prices don't necessarily reflect the access like they do over in redondo beach or down in OC. Can't do anything about much of it either. When the city wanted to remove that breakwater recently that pins water pollution to the beach and killed the surf scene when they erected it decades ago, the navy said no, should they ever need to load explosives into battleships near downtown long beach.
