Maybe to you 76 isn't warm. To many of us, 76 is perfect! What I wouldn't give for a 76 degree day with low humidity!!! Right now, it's 93 and the humidity is high. You get sticky instantly going outside. And I'm not even in the South!
Also many of us dislike warm water. What's the point of an ocean, lake, swimming pool, etc that's as warm as your bathwater? That's not refreshing at all! No thanks. Give me the Atlantic in Cape Cod this time of year. It's perfect! The Atlantic in NC and SC this time of year is like sitting in a bathtub. YUCK!
Lol I didn't say 76F water wasn't warm. It is fine for swimming. I said 76F is far above their avg summer water temp of 68F which is not warm at all nor comfortable for swimming.
Wow no kidding but still Brisbane gets less tropical storm activity than the same latitude in Florida.
Again, lower SSTs there and Brisbane's open ocean is south to Antarctica while here in FL it's east towards Africa and where tropical cyclones develop.

Warm as bathwater? Thats absurd. I guess people have different tastes for water temps but I worked for resorts all during college and I guarantee you are going to hear alot of complaints if a pool is below 80-82. The mid 70s is not ideal by any means for most people for swimming. I swam competitively and 80-82 was always what most swimmers wanted the temps to be around

It all depends where you're from. In the Northeast, it's pretty rare to get your pool into the 80's without heating it.
No, most of the US is too far south in latitude, not enough like Europe for my liking.
If you want to make United States like Europe then Canada should become an ocean and there should be no mountains in the West except maybe Sierra Nevada.

It is true that the mildest climate locations in the US are generally insanely expensive or along the immediate West Coast rugged terrain with few jobs. It would be a completely different scenario if 10,000 ft mountains existed in the eastern US, though.

The Appalachians used to be taller than the Rockies, but the wetter more humid weather in the east eroded them to their current state
