I will definitely take Miami but then I now live in Punta Gorda so nearly the same Thank God no more Michigan winters with all the ice and sleet (could have handled the snow). Don't like the shaking in LA. Most ideal climate (and less bugs) I've ever known was Hawaii.

Earthquake risk is overrated. No one has died in an earthquake in L.A. since 1994. OTOH, how many people have died in hurricanes and tornadoes in the past 20 years?

thank goodness earthquakes haven't been a problem as of late, i think our last quake was st patricks day, right?
Parts of LA proper average 70F in winter from downtown east, to Boyle heights, commerce, and 90040 and zip codes near the oldest month averages 71 F high, but other than that I agree on most of the parts
I can't disagree. It makes sense that if Whittier and Anaheim are 70+ in January, that other pockets of the region would be too -- including pockets within LA proper.
Obviously, there is not much difference between 68 degrees and 71 degrees. But, it is nice to see sections of the LA metro area breach the 70 degree threshold, which can be seen informal marker for what would be considered nice/warm day (at least if sunny).
To see averages at or above 70 degrees in January, you are probably looking at Florida from Orlando south, the southern end of the Rio Grande Valley in extreme south Texas (McAllen, Harlingen, etc..); pockets of southern Arizona (Yuma, maybe a few micro-climates in the Phoenix area); and a few pockets in Southern California (Anaheim, Palm Springs, etc..). Am I missing anything?
I live maybe 50 miles North West of Los Angeles on the coast. We hardly ever turn on the furnace. We don't even have an AC in our home. I have no idea what Miami is like but I know how it is in the LA area. Im sticking with what I know.
Unless I'm missing something here I'm not sure why you'd need central heating in winter in either of these places, especially Miami?
Yea, this thread makes no sense to me.
