Subtropical highland climate is a good alternative. It’s a rare climate in the US but some mountain areas in the south have it. Not too hot in the summer, not too cold in the winter. Asheville is on the border of this climate and has great weather IMO. Certain highland areas in Tennessee and South Carolina also have this climate.
I do like the climate of Mexico City but no US city I can think of has that climate. And it's a prerequisite to be in the USA.
Before you jump in and say Asheville - it really doesn't have a climate similar to Mexico City. It gets far colder in the winter, though the summers aren't bad, they aren't as mild as Mexico City's either.
This post is exactly like what I am thinking. I was just like you. I was in love with California and its weather when I visited it in April 2016, but now, I hate California after visiting it this year in March 2018. I visited when I was little too, but I don't remember. California is too crowded, too expensive, and too overpopulated and my cousin who lives there is telling me that quality of life there sucks, especially the Bay Area.
I like the Pacific Northwest as an alternative. I visited Seattle in August 2016, but I never experienced a winter there. I don't mind the drowsy, rainy climate there. They also get very little snow that melts easily. I like how the lowest temps there are 40 (and sometimes upper 30s). They don't have muggy summers.
I heard Georgia is a pretty good state and a great alternative to Florida. I assume Georgia can't get snow.
The one thing that sucks about living in America is that there are only very few states that have decent weather, but at least you are open to humidity.
You can get snow in Georgia and Florida. The mountains in northern GA will obviously get more than Savannah. While snow isn't going to be common in Savannah, you will probably get at least a few flakes in the mountains.
Yes, I am familiar with the Wikipedia page. Are you implying that I was incorrect?
The map for the subtropical highland climate shows small areas in the southern Appalachians feature this climate. Sure, it’s not as fabulously mild as Salta or Addis, but it is still a mild climate year round.
And I didn’t say Asheville was subtropical highland, but it is just on the cusp and has one of the mildest humid subtropical climates of anywhere in the US.
Albuquerque climate is not bad but there are places in New Mexico
with even closer climates to California.
Las Cruces seems more“Californian” to me, it has average winter highs near 60F in january,
rising to mid 60s in february, low 70s by march. Plenty of palm trees too, mostly Californian Fan Palms.
A climate, temp wise, very similar to high desert California...like Palmdale-Lancaster, Victorville,
but with opposite rainy and dry seasons.
Same with Alamogordo, Deming, and Truth or Consequences.
Silver City in SW NM at a higher elevation is more like Albuquerque
but is even a bit better....warmer winter highs, cooler summer highs.
yes, that comes very close to the OP's wants. Don't forget El Paso which is bigger and around the corner and which suffers from an unwarranted old and negative border town stereotype . This whole area has the best climate in the US IMO.

Correct. I lived and worked in a subtropical highland climate for a few years and it was nice.

Nope, not implying anything. Just adding information to the thread.
Oh, okay. Thanks for the clarification.
