Parade magazine posted a study based on the number of heating and cooling days of major metro areas in the USA in search of the best climate and the winner was Oakland California...
Back in the day... Oakland was nearly all farmland... mostly orchards and no irrigation necessary...
Growing up the only time I can remember ever using heat was at Christmas when elderly family members came to visit... still today... not a single home in my area has A/C.
Of course there are no more farms here... the last one hung on for years until the land became just to valuable.
