"Stereotypical" big city climate battle, ranking, and/or discussion

[AJ1013]

1. San Diego: Endless comfort trumps interesting pain
2. Chicago: I normally like 4 season climates, just too extreme.
3. San Francisco: 7 months aren't too bad apart from the sunshine
4. Miami: Sticky beach weather is better than never seeing the sun (London)
5. London: Garbage

I made three of these

For me:

San Diego (comfortable, stable)
Miami (warm all year, too wet in summer)

SF (a bit better than the stereotypical London, still rubbish)
London (absolutely awful, but lacking the extreme cold of Chicago)
Chicago (no matter how nice the summers are, winters that cold are absolutely unforgivable)

eek. meant to vote for San Diego, but voted for San Francisco by mistake

Some people do think that and then move here and complain when they discover May Gray and June Gloom and cooler than expected summers but this thread is about the caricatures of the actual climatic data balanced with the stereotypes. For highs around 80 and sunny all year (with a gentle breeze), I'd make a "stereotypical Honolulu" chart.
