Perhaps it's because some of us enjoy cold weather. Not everyone enjoys 110° weather like in California. I personally like cold weather, and would not stand the 110° in California
Most people who want to move to California are thinking more of moving into the coastal cities rather than into the desert. Because of the cold Pacific currents along California's coasts, summers closer to the coast are usually in the 70s and 80s while slightly inward into the valleys and basins sometimes get to the 90s. You need to get far into a few parts of the southern California deserts such as Death Valley where virtually no one lives to get to the 110s with any regularity in the summers.
The answer is no, they can’t. I’m living in a mild climate, where it never really freezes. I wear pretty much the same clothing I did when I lived in cold weather climates. Multiple layers of clothing with a leather jacket on top. It keeps me warm enough here. Which is the problem with a cold climate. I can’t physically wear enough clothes to keep me warm in those extreme temperatures. Even if I could manage to find clothing that could keep me warm, I would still have to breathe that freezing air into my lungs, which is painful for me.
Pull a scarf over your mouth and nose. Problem solved, and also keeps half your face warm.
I went on vacation to Hawaii recently. Got off the plane and you are immediately smothered by the humidity. Like being back in Indiana during the summer. We were at the airport waiting for our shuttle and a roach crawled on our luggage. We were driving to our condo and the radio was going on about an outbreak of dengue fever. Walked in our condo and there was a dead roach in the middle of the living room. The tropics can be so charming. Reminded me of when I was a kid living in southern Alabama and why I never want to move south of I-70 and why we generally don't go on tropical vacations.
That said, it was still a really fun trip, I just would never want to live there. I'll take my iceboxes, thanks.
I live in Erie, PA, winner of the snowiest US city over 100,000 people last year.
So why do I live here? Well, I go to school here, work here, have family here, but overall I feel like the 4 months of winter don't outweigh the beautiful spring, summer and fall we have. Yes, lake effect snow sucks, but after experiencing it for all your life, you get used to it.
Cuz my college is there and I still have to wait one and a half years. I actually think NYC aint that bad, however I think NYC is the coldest possible climate that I can tolerate. Even Boston is really pushing it
I'm a recent college graduate living at home to save money. I highly doubt an employer will ever relocate me in my current industry (marketing and advertising). However, I'm going to law school in the near future, and will use that as an opportunity relocate to a place I'd actually like to live.
