I'd guess some place in Hawaii, California, or coastal Oregon. Most of those places have a high cost of living, but not all.
In Hawaii Hilo seems to have a fairly low cost of living. Hilo might be warmer than you want, but I'm not sure. Lanai City, Maui is also below average for cost of living and a bit cooler than Hilo if I'm reading it right. (Despite having the name "city" in it it seems to be a moderately small town with a Filipino plurality)
Honolulu county seems to be pretty expensive, but the rest of Hawaii comes out less so going by the site.
In California Santa Maria looked within average cost of living. Although their unemployment and crime rate is a bit above average, but maybe within bounds.
Coos Bay, Oregon is maybe cheaper than the towns listed previous. It's a bit on the cool side, but doesn't seem to get below 40 too much and its snowfall amount is below national average.
FL keys summer are hot and the sun is very strong. The worst sunburn I've ever had was in the keys... in MARCH.
It's 8:20AM and the temp in Key West is 84F, feels like 91F, 72% humidity. That is HOT. It is not even summer yet. It's slightly cooler than the rest of FL, especially inland, but... to most people I think they would say that is hot w/ a summer that lasts 7-8 months w/ temps over 85.
Title says it all. 50 degrees and 60 degrees in the winter sounds nice, but then I think about how much I hate humidity and high heat. Any spots inthe USA?
Here in Portland, OR, it isn't that bad. We are very mild almost all year, and probably in the top 4 or 5 cities in the nation in terms of overall mildness when it comes to our weather. We are usually between 40-50F in the winter day and night, and between 75-90 in the summer day and night. Rarely--maybe a dozen times a year or so, do we go outside those ranges.
The thing is however, you would need to put up with a LOT of cloudy, drizzly days. It is overcast here about 98% all day and night from Oct through June, but about 10% from July to September. Our summers are usually dry, however, we will have a couple of days where the humidity from the night sticks around during the day, but those are far and few between.
We are also an hour from the mountains, and an hour from the coast, with LOTS to see and do anytime of the year, but OTOH, we have currently, one of the worst economies in the nation, and if you're lucky enough to find a job, better than a 50% chance it is in sales, or working through a temp staffing service ( with no benefits. )
Maybe Northern Florida. Certainly not the Keys, or South Florida.
Northern FL is still rather muggy. You have to go farther north even north of Atlanta, and I might even add, further north than Tennessee, before you start escaping the Gulf moisture that surrounds that area. Ohio is still humid, but a much less extent than within 800 miles of the Gulf.
