Where are the warmest, friendliest places in California? I'm gonna be living in California for a few years. I want to go somewhere that'll feel like home (Australia) so I'm hoping for summer temps around 25-35C(77-95F) and winter temps at least 15C(59F) but preferably warmer. Does this kind of climate exist in California? It's fine if it sometimes gets hotter than that, up to about 45C(113F) and lots of rain is good but not essential. And where are the people nice? In a progressive, casual sort of way? I want to live somewhere that isn't all racist and homophobic and has a good mix of people. I'd like to be within an hour of a big city, but don't mind small towns or semi-rural as long as they don't fall into the racist and homophobic category. I'm looking at San Diego at the moment coz I've heard it's very tolerant, multicultural, has good weather and fairly low crime rates. Is that a good place to live?

Suggestions on best places to live in between the Bay Area and the L.A. area on the California coast? Hey all. I'm taking a trip out to California this summer from New England - I've never been before, and am thinking if I like what I see, I may consider an eventual move out there. I'm going to be spending a good amount of time in both Southern California and the northern parts, especially the Bay Area and Napa Valley, to get a basic "feel" for the environment. What I'm asking for is any suggestions you may have on places in between "Northern California" and "Southern California" - somewhere where it is mostly nice weather year round, the ocean is reasonably warm, there is plenty of things to do and stuff going on, low crime, good nightlife and good looking women, but also somewhere where you could escape into the forest or the mountains relatively easily, and get the best of both worlds. Some place where it's not outrageously expensive, is really fun and where there's never a dull moment, and where the people are laid-back and down to earth and fun... any suggestions?
