20 milion more picked California than Florida.
It's not because one is larger than the other in size.
If that really made sense, Arizona and Nevada should be far more populated.
Like I said , I can't even fathom if California had floridas housing costs.
MY GOD..
Nobody is stopping 20 million more coming to Florida. If they really wanted to, they would
Housing costs deter millions from moving to California.
Honolulu by far. It's way more consistent (the average high only varies by 8 degrees from Jan (80F) to Aug (88F)). It's also got a perfect amount of humidity year-round and trade winds that keep things really comfortable.
Miami is nice but can get way too humid and has issues with hurricanes that Honolulu largely doesn't. San Diego, as mentioned, gets too cold during the winter for me and you have days where the highs are dipping into the mid 60s.
The coldest temperature recorded last year in Miami and San Diego was 46 and 41, respectively. Looking at 20 years of data, I don't think it's "much colder".
To clarify your point, San Diego gets colder more regularly. But in terms of how much the thermometer can drop, they aren't too different based on reported data.

I have lived in, both, SD and Miami.
In Miami there are 5-7 days in the winter in which I will need to wear my ski parka when going out for morning coffee. These are associated with a couple of cold fronts that work their way down to South Florida in December and January and last 2-3 days at a time but are infrequent.
I found myself needing to wear my ski parka 20-30 mornings in San Diego between December 1 through the end of March.
The odd thing about San Diego was that the thermometer might read low to mid 60’s for the high during the 4 winter months yet could feel much chillier than that on any given day; at the same time mid to high 60’s during spring time often felt much warmer than the actual temperature readings. So SD often had the chilliest (winter) AND warmest (spring) 60’s I’ve felt depending upon time of year.

How is anyone voting for either of these over Honolulu? Honolulu's coldest temp in 2019 was 61 degrees and that was almost the all-time record of 59 degrees set back in the 1940s.
If I'm choosing someplace based on weather, I'd definitely prefer somewhere that doesn't dip into the 40s, yikes.
