So what do you think my ideal climate would be like?
Back on track, I think lush, green landscapes are beautiful, but I think all temperate/continental/even tropical locations have their beauty. I even think the image of a desert with big sand dunes is pretty. There isn't really any vegetation I'd consider "ugly".
To paraphrase Dhdh, there's a certain appeal to walking through a boreal forest with snow on the ground and trees...until you realise it has to be cold to do so.
Hmmm me thinks...something like this
Jan: 78/62, 55% humidity, 3 in
Feb: 79/62, 55% humidity, 3 in
Mar: 81/63, 50% humidity, 3 in
Apr: 84/65, 50% humidity, 3 in
May: 86/67, 45% humidity, 4 in
Jun: 87/68, 45% humidity, 4 in
Jul: 88/69, 45% humidity, 4 in
Aug: 88/69, 45% humidity, 4 in
Sep: 86/68, 50% humidity, 4 in
Oct: 84/67, 50% humidity, 3 in
Nov: 82/66, 55% humidity, 3 in
Dec: 80/64, 55% humidity, 3 in
You can have beautiful desert landscapes, but it depends on the place. I think glorious sand dunes, especially right next to the beach, are much better looking than some dusty Sonoran plateau with gray shrubbery everywhere
Shalop at post #258, that looks like Marquette Ave in downtown Minneapolis. Marquette Ave is always devoid of pedestrians. It has very few stores, almost none.
It is not a main street traversed by pedestrians like Nicollet Mall (street) and Hennepin Ave are, both downtown.
BadgerFilms, and lots of cross-country skiing! At the Red Bull outdoor Crushed Ice ice-skating very steep 12-story drop lanes built for the outdoor event, 100,000 people were in attendance in St Paul (twin city to Minneapolis)

Very nice climate; I'd rate it a solid A! I like the mild winters and nice toasty summers, and the humidity is a non-issue. And there would be no 82-day-and-counting streaks of sweatshirt days!
Not everyone wants to live in the desert. Some people like trees, and grass, and places without rain don't have a lot of those things. And some people like snow too.
And now Mediterranean climates have desertic landscapes?
we posted a lot of photos of Mediterranean forests, those are not even ones of the top of the most humid med climates and they have natural landscape like those ones... they're arid I guess

Definitely weaker than the oceanic/continental scenes, they're basically trees mixed with shrubs. The only strong forests I've seen posted from Mediterranean climates on here were from the redwoods in California and some huge trees in Western Australia. But they have higher annual rainfall and shorter dry seasons than most Med environments.

Did you read the original comment I replied to? The guy said something about the line like "how can anyone like rain?" and "the best climate has no precipitation" (or at least very little) I was replying to that comment. I didn't once say that about Mediterranean climates.
Anyway, those places in your pictures are very pretty, though its not the type of vegetation I prefer. But its irrelevant compared to the actual comment I replied to.

Now how could 100,000 people be outside in such dangerous weather? The only places where you can go outside in winter are places that are above 50 degrees! Up north, everyone stays inside for 4+ months 5+ inches of snow is way to treacherous to go for a walk in the park!

What is the relation between being weaker than Oceanic and Continental ones? That's obvious. I'm just showing how many Med. climates are lushy. Not you, but other users had told that they're just shrubs and arid land without being capable to have forests. That's not true.
Also for many people (including me) Med. Climates are way better than Continental and Oceanic ones.
Some pics yes. But this one for example is 95% trees, it's that dense that they maded paths between the forests to stop potential fires:

True, my bad. I didn't read the comment which you replied, I thought you were saying that they're like desertic.

Can you share locations perhaps, med climates aren't particularly naturally lush in comparison of wetter oceanic and humid subtropical climates, no denying it. Not too mention the forest in that pic does not look diverse at all, nothing but conifers.
