the low elevation areas of Arizona, Inland Southern California, the Southernmost parts of Texas and Florida tend to have good weather if I'm not mistaken.

Valley Native, I do believe §AB was being facetious.
Earthquakes And Fires And Mudslides are not a part of a dangerous deadly weather pattern Like Tornadoes And Hurricanes Are....Deadly Cold And Also Deadly Heat...So California HasThe Best Weather In The United State....
Actually, California DOES have deadly heat, that's why it has the HIGHEST TEMPERATURE RECORDED IN THE U.S at 134F in Death Valley on July,10,1913.
Uhhh... I think that's why they call it Death Valley.
and the OP right, no one lives there.
Cali's weather tops all...
That is why I am going back from Texas, we have a ton of tornadoes in the spring especially (I have been living in TX 10 months and counting until I can get back to my home)
Were else could you live with no heating or air-conditioning, perhaps no solid walls even, like with shutters/wood blinds for walls and be comfortable 90-95% of the year? (should you insist on a room temperature somewhere between 65-80 F) The do get the occaisional cyclone (hurricane) and tidal waves though.
Southern California would probably be the nicest in the West, but they have scary earthquakes and major brush fires.
In the East, temperature wise I prefer Florida, however they do seem to have a higher incidence of severe weather phenomenon...
Georgia, almost as mild as Florida has less tornados than most other "Southern states" and almost never any direct hits from hurricanes. Only noticeable safer weather for Southern states would be Virginia, Kentucky and West Virginia.
The west coast of Michigan has great weather. Perfect spring/summer/early fall temps with winter sports in the winter. Winter temps are moderated by Lake Michigan. However, you have to be able to deal with quite a few cloudy days.
You've got some great suggestions & I plan on checking 'em all out. New England was one place I had in mind, so that's a possibility. Minnesota is a really liberal, artistic place but I've heard that the winters are extremely harsh. Michigan I've heard, is beautiful. I plan on visiting as many places as possible before we finally make up our minds.
I would say Colorado has the best weather, namely the Denver area. Over 300 sunny days a year, hot summers with no humidity. We have 4 seasons and surprisingly the winters are not an arctic icebox. It may snow today and be gone in 3 days because the sun is so warm it melts it away, or it is 60 degrees! I have worked outside in 30 and 40 degree weather and needed to take my coat off because it was too darn hot!
