What I mean is there are no dramatic thunderstorms, blizzards, heavy rain events. No real cold in winter or sustained heat in summer. That to me = boring.
I don't like San Francisco's weather. That's why I live in Oakland. We get more sun, especially in the summer, with mild temps year round. About 72-75 degrees and sunny in the summer. And 3-5 degrees cooler than SF in the winter.
Big shock that San Fran leads the way. People may say they don't like boring, but I bet they have far less weather related insurance claims than any of those other places.
Yep, people fret about the quakes.....Since those don't happen as often as EF-3 and EF-4 tornadoes do in Alabama, I'll say that's not even a fair comparison.

Tornadoes and tsunamis are pretty exciting; would that be a desirable weather pattern?
By this reckoning, the more "boring" the climate, the more preferable it is, in my view.
In my view, the midsection of North America is singularly unpleasant for its extremes; summers are too hot and humid, winters are too cold and blustery. Variations in the jet-stream result in too much variability in winter, with high standard deviation from the nominal mean temperature. Winter lows in central Texas easily dip below -5C, summers well north of the US-Canadian border can hit +35C.
If I had to live in North America, I'd definitely take the West Coast. SF vs. Seattle is a difficult choice, but the two are far superior to anything in the midsection (Chicago and Toronto being examples).
I don't like any of those choices. Year round weather? I prefer the year round weather that we have in my area in Southern California here on the coast. I like it in the mid 70's year round. That is the kind of year round weather I am talking about. The places you have listed as far as I can tell do not have year round weather. The weather changes during the year.
