Orange County is going to win this solely because of the weather not because it has any merits. Orange County is second or last in every question on this thread except weather but weather is all people care about. The only way this starts changing is unless you include LA.

Houston out? Btw from my memory houston drivers are aggressive
Is cost of living a concern? This has been a huge factor behind migration out of Orange County for years. Of course plenty of people make it work, but unlike friendliness and driving behavior where opinions will vary, there is nothing subjective about housing costs in coastal southern California. Depending on what type of work you do the opportunities and compensation may or may not justify moving there.
OP, just to clarify, Orange County is not a city, but a county in Southern California. There are many cities in Orange County, some very desirable, some perhaps not as much.
Now, does OC have a lot of traffic? Does it get crowded with traffic jams on the streets and on highways? I know LA does, but OC I don't think is part of the LA area, but it kind of looks like it is.
I dont mind the other 2 at all but I pick Orange County.
