A++, this one so far beats all of my listed ideal cities. Beautiful weather year round, no wonder why Norway is one of the world's richest country.

Nice try but Singapore and Taiwan are both some of the world's richest countries too and both of those countries have a tropical climate.
And don't forget wealthy cities such as Hong Kong, and Bangkok which are some of the wealthiest cities in the world that have a mostly tropical climate.
There are plenty of wealthy cities, countries, and parts of country that get extended warm/hot temperatures!
I give the weather climate in Kautokino, Norway a solid F-.
9 months of consistent winters from September to May, and then three months where it is more like spring/fall instead of an actual summer.
Precipitation way too low. I bet the annual sunshine is very low despite the low precipitation.
I think it is a similar case for Tromso which is another place the OP mentioned. Tromso also gets an F- from me.
I think the area of Norway that would receive the best grade is Oslo and Bergen but that is still a C-.

bad example. Singapore and hong kong are small cities. While singapore chooses to call itself a country, hong kong is not a country like what you stated. Both of these places do better than the rest of southeast asia due to the early established free market economy, a legacy of European colonialism. Southeast asian countries that were not extensively colonized by europeans, like Burma, Indonesia, and cambodia are rather economically impoverished. There was European influence in those places, but not to the extent of them taking over the whole country politically.And if you seriously call bangkok one of the wealthiest city in the world, have you ever been to bangkok, obviously not the rural part for sure. looking the skyline alone sometimes gives misguided indication of wealth. Nobody knows better about southeast asia than me. i got family living there so....

LOL Nice try again.
Singapore has 5 million people and Hong Kong has 8 million people.
They objectively both are big cities.
No. I never said Hong Kong was its own country. In that section, I was mentioning wealthy cities instead of wealthy countries.
All of those places I mentioned are some of the most wealthiest places in the world, just like Norway.
I was mentioning how plenty of tropical places can be wealthy just like plenty of places that get colder weather.
And yes, this particular place in Norway(Kautokino) gets an F- for me for weather climate. Even Oslo and Bergen in Norway only get a C- for me for weather and that place gets the best weather in Norway.

nice try, Hong Kong has 7.097 million people. If I ask you to choose either Norway or singapore to move to right now, I'm pretty sure you will choose the former. There are people from southern China and Hong Kong, who are willing to go through hell to immigrate to a Scandanavian country. you cannot disregard the pain and suffering millions of chinese went through while you make the general assumption that everyone is rich and content in hong kong. It takes a lot more than skyscrapers and cheesy lightning shows to bring people happiniess, you know.
Not sure why he would choose Norway over Singapore. He's said in previous posts that he likes hot weather.
I'll rate this as B+. Gets a bit too cold in the winter for me, and -59°F as the record low? I can feel my glasses cracking and sticking to my face already!

Not sure that there are many people migrating out of Hong Kong these days and most of those are have a lot of money anyway and go back and forth between several locations. I know that many Hong Kong Chinese in Vancouver are in this situation.
According to CIA World Factbook, the net migration rate is 4.06/1000 people.
Even if we include mainland China, they are nowhere near the top country of immigrants that arrive in Norway and have a relatively small number (7,895):
I hardly think Chinese are clamouring to get to Norway or other Scandinavian countries
