There is no perfect place, everywhere you go it will either be too cold in winter or too hot in summer, you just have to decide which is the lesser of two evils.
Southern California.
I hated the people and I hated the government, but the weather is pretty close to perfect.

It ain't true. Most places in the US it is true, but believe it or not, not everywhere!

Mid 80's in Lahaina all this week. Lows in the 60's.

My ultimate retirement spot.
It's nice. I lived in Paia (north shore Maui) for 2.5 years. San Diego is never really cold, has some of the finest (maybe THE finest) weather in the mainland US. Not hot a lot of the time like L.A. I like it in Berkeley, CA. It's cold during the winter but not terribly cold. I saw a guy riding his bike a week ago wearing a T shirt and shorts. There's seasons here, good for the soul, whereas in L.A. there's not that much differentiation. You can get 80 degree days in January in L.A. AFAIK there's no place in CA that's plagued by stifling humidity, ever. I think most if not all of the east coast and a lot of the south definitely are.

Wha? My cousin lives in AZ and in the summer it's like 115. If you don't have AC you're fucked. You have to stay indoors. She spent the summer in the S.F. Bay Area and will next summer too.

well cali gets raped by fires.. i love the cold
Dude, depends on where you live. If you are in the wooded hills, yeah, fire can be a threat. Most people are not. You hear about the fires on the news, don't assume the whole state is subject to that. Now earthquakes are a different monster, but killer earthquakes aren't something that happens every year.

You're going to have to snowbird if you want the perfect temperature.

North during the summer
South during the winter

Not the central coast of California where I live. Coastal CA does not get too cold or too hot. And humidity is low, unlike the east coast.

Don't most if not all places have air conditioning? I would figure in AZ it's not really a "luxury" but a needed item in a house/apt. I suppose if he hates the cold but likes the heat this could work.

If you plan to attend college in Florida, your choices are pretty much UF or FSU. If you want to do something engineering related, then its UF or USF/UCF (I forget which).

Edit: Oh, and its 76F here right now (UF campus). You have to realize that its HUMID here, you might want to visit to see if you can stand the ridiculousness of 90F+ weather with 80%+ humidity.

The thing with the places that are warm in the winter is that they're miserably hot in the summer and their summers are half the year long at least.

I was born and raised in south east FL where it was hot, hotter and holy shit I'm dying hot year round.

Now I live in the Atlanta, GA area and it gets pretty damn hot in the summer, but it cools off at night, unlike summers in FL, and I get 4 real seasons but with little to no snow.

If you're to hot, you can only take off so many layers of clothes to compensate for it. If it's cold out you can always put on more layers to compensate for it.

anywhere in the southeast (save florida) is prone to odd temperature fluctuactions. you get the worst of everything- 100+ days and below freezing days. even in the 'moderate' seasons, the temps can fluctuate quite a bit.

i can't think of anywhere other than florida or [parts of] california that is typically nice year-round (florida is hot and muggy in the summer, though).

San Diego is where I call home. I've lived here along the coast for 12 years now and during that time I've seen 3 days where it got down in the low 30s overnight. A typical winter day ranges from the low 60s to high 80s. Summers are mid 70s to mid 90s. It is sunny and clear nearly 95% of the time.

I seriously don't think I could ever live anywhere else.
