Not fair game! Santa Monica and Venice are not in the list. Also, there is no point to list both of them. They are in the same region with the same weather pattern!

In addition, there are only 12 cities (not 432) in the list. Choose from the list only! Please take time, concentrate on the task! Never have taken multiple choice questios in school?

I voted San Francisco, Seattle, and New York City, but for slightly different reasons for each place.

Why San Francisco: Rather consistent moderate temperatures year round, lots of sunshine but still some rain, good air and water quality. A bit too dry May-October, and can be a little bit too cold in the summer, but its still has some of the best weather year round in America.

Why Seattle: I dont care what some people say, Seattle does have a lot great things about its weather/climate. Usually very comfortable temperatures. Usually not too hot or too cold, but people will still get enough variety with temperatures here. Very good air and water quality most of the time. Doesnt have to deal with thunderstorms like other places do. Usually no worries about droughts or forest fires. No dangerous insects and bugs like in places such as Texas, Arizona, and Floria.. Can get a bit too cloudy sometimes, but I still think it has some of the best weather in America.

New York City: A nice balance of 4 seasons, so someone can easily experience a bit of everything in terms of weather there. In America, it seems to have some of the most balanced weather. (One of the only "balanced" things about it).Temperatures in the ocean nearby can get hot enough to swim in the summer, while there are snowstorms that can happen in the winter. Sometimes it can get too hot or too cold, unpredictable, and extreme, but still some of the best weather year round.

I also would have voted for Los Angeles and San Diego but they are a bit too dry, and the air and water quality isnt good there, and the weather is too consistent and boring. When I went to Los Angeles in February 2010, it was sunny and warm, but the air was horrible! I developed some skin irritation while I was there because of the dryness and bad air quality, and I didnt like breathing outside, like I do in Seattle!

415_s2k: I disagree with you putting Seattle at 432. Did you ever even visit Seatte? Santa Monica and Venice are almost up with San Francisco and Seattle but its too dry most of the time and with bad air and water quality.

I voted San Francisco, though it's much nicer just across the water in Oakland.

I was born in Seattle, raised there, spent most of my teens in Boston, lived in CA for six years, lived back in Seattle for a year, and then moved back to CA eight months ago. Yes, I am quite familiar with Seattle's weather, and I stand by my assertion!

I lived in Venice for three years, and worked in Santa Monica (they border one another and so no, there's no difference), they're on the water and not subject to the smog issues that inland LA is.

NUB, all good points, I mostly agree. This is how I feel, too.

And don't worry about 415 giving Seattle 432. Don't you see, he is up to something with numbers: 432, 415, 453...
