The Bay Area is excellent away from the coast. The fog and wind is a downer near the water IMO.
To the person who prefers to avoid temps over 80 and is considering the Michigan lakeshore - lol good luck. This is a humid continental climate. Go to the Pacific coast if your goal is to avoid any heat or bugs.
Average daytime highs 0-30C. It's quintessentially hot (30C) and cold (0C).
yeah, my point exactly. Also it is neither too humid nor too dry. Climates more to the south have too long summers for me and too brief winters. Places up north like Wisconsin are also nice but there's the opposite problem. Well, the upper south is ok too, but their winters are a bit weak for me (like here). The Mississipi valley also has nice climates temperature-wise but I'm afraid they'd get too muggy too often.
Who says that? That's really just opinion, not fact. Generally known? Why state it like it's a fact? I for one would like to permanently avoid temperatures over 80°F, but even Fairbanks doesn't escape that.

Just one man's preference.
The OP stated:

Generally known in the way that the Earth revolves around the sun or that turtles have hard shells?
Climate preferences are just preferences, though I don't dispute that a plurality of people (though certainly not the majority) would enjoy the climate he describes.
Your definition of Ironic must be the same one that Alanis Morssette ascribes to. We are probably not reading from the same dictionary.
I was kind depressed my first summer in San Francisco. Moved there from sunny, hot Sacramento. I didn't realize what the problem was until I went to Marin County one day and saw the sun. I was suffering from SAD in the middle of summer.
I considered starting a business selling jackets to tourists expecting California sun.
We have a running joke here: You can always spot tourists by their outfits; shorts, sandals, and a newly-purchased "I love SF" sweatshirt. They come here expecting SoCal sun, and have to pay $30 to a street vendor for that sweatshirt!
My mother also learned quickly about the importance of good footwear, when we first moved here from Maryland. She was walking my brother in a stroller up a steep hill, and literally fell right out of her fashionable clogs (it was the early '80s). Her next stop was a shoe store, where she bought a nice comfortable pair of sneakers. LOL

First time I went to San Francisco I froze my butt off in the summer. The coldest winter I ever spent was a summer in San Francisco, indeed.
