If you can afford to live near the coast South Florida is pretty nice. Seabreezes knock out out a lot of the stifling heat and you can swim in the ocean in the dead of winter from Palm Beach south as the Gulf Stream means the ocean rarely drops below 70F. The beaches are also much nicer than CA and have beautiful Caribbean blue clear water and even coral reefs to snorkel/dive to.

Your mostly correct in your statement.

It isn't fire, but really soil disturbance that allows for Sequoia regeneration. You need bare, mineral soil for Giant Sequoia's to regenerate.

Thanks to decades of mis-management by lawyers, the Clinton Administration and the National Park Service, we have lost over 20% of the Giant Sequoia's on earth over six feet in diameter.

The fires in the dry forests of the western US are due to JUST 30 years of mis-management by following the enviromental "beliefs".

This is the fires just since 2000. Missing the fires from 1988 to 2000

History will judge the environmental movement harshly for destroying our public lands.

Not all of California is “mild”. I grew up in the desert, try that on.

Well, truth be told, I didn't see Death Valley on the worst list. Maybe it's just the locations noted.

Death Valley is a NP. There are many towns/cities in the California deserts.
