Quoted: Hello. Please help me here. I am at witts end.
I want to move. No more Pittsburgh for me. I would like to move some place where it is WARM, all the time. I am talking "ever-summer", "never-winter".
Here is what i want.....
My first, and only priority is that it MUST be warm: warm in the summer, warm in the winter. I am talking like 70's+ during the day. I would prefer no lower than 60's at night, but i could handle down to the low 50's or high 40's at night... but that has to be a rarity.
Some place where the humidity isnt THAT oppressive, i don't want 90 degrees and 85% humidity. I think this rules most of southern florida out... as i hear the summers are "extreme".
I would prefer to NOT have to deal with hurricanes, strike 2 for florida.
I understand this is blasphemy... but it doesn't have to be a gun friendly state. I can make due with one of whatever they think is "legal" for home defense. The cold weather... is literally killing me up here, so guns are of no use to me... if i am not physically able to use them.
I was thinking Hawaii maybe, or maybe AZ, i dont know much about the west coast.
In terms of employment.... I can honestly say... to be warm... i would gladly be a garbage man. I will find something to do, it doesnt matter to me what it is, as long as i can keep a roof over my head.
You have no idea how important your health is... until it starts to go. I would give anything.......
have a good one.

sounds like my decision many years ago. I grew up in California and then moved to upstate NY for high school. Needless to say, upstate NY sucked big time by comparison. I resolved never to live in a place where the weather was trying to kill me. I was back in California five days after my 18th birthday, and that included a three day bus trip.
Hate to say it, but Southern California is the place you want. Arizona would be a good second choice but if you haven't lived in Arizona or Nevada it is probably not a place you want to just test out suddenly. Yes, Arizona is warm. It is so warm that you have to use oven mitts to open your car door in the summer. So warm that the newspapers publish recipes you can slow cook in the trunk of your car while you are at work. So warm that you would occasionally hear reports of people who locked their cars and had their windows blown out by the expanding air. So warm that a mother and son ran out of gas on the freeway and by the time the kid walked to a gas station and back the mother was dead from heat stroke.
I lived in Arizona for one summer. In the entire summer, the lowest temperature recorded was 84 degrees at four o'clock one morning. I remember it because the air conditioner died that summer.
As for Hawaii, try looking at California real estate before you start looking in Hawaii. Real-estate and housing-wise, you live on another planet in Pittsburgh.
