If you find this Garden of Eden please let the rest of us know. Depending on what your idea of "uncomfortable" is, I can think of several nice places to go but they're not free of risk from natural disasters. Basically, you just need to be what we Floridians call a "snow bird". You live somewhere up North or the mountains in the Summer months and go South to FL or any of the other Southern states, or the Southwest during the Winter. Then you have perfect weather year round!

San Diego, big time. Best weather I have ever lived in. Year round.

Stupid Flanders

No place is immune to all of the above, but San Diego is probably the best of what is available. It is not on a direct fault line, so earthquakes are relatively rare and less severe than the rest of CA.

San Jose California is as you described but they do get Earthquakes...

All areas of the Earth get affected by one type of natural disaster or another. You just have to choose a good place to live and deal with what comes.

Sorry.

Southern California. only place i can think of. but there is landslides sometimes and forest fires sometimes.

The Revolutionary

Northern California. Some places here flood but it never gets too out of hand.
It is uncomfortably expensive, though.

Boy, aren't you picky. You forgot to exclude earthquakes and volcanoes. I would say that there is no place like this in the US. In fact, there is probably no place on earth that matches your qualifications. Every place is at risk to something.

notei

San Diego California,
would match all except the landslides.
if you live one mile from the beach is the perfect place.
those real estate developers built houses where they weren't supposed to do it.
I live downtown and is safe

Average Joe

Parts of Cali.. but you will have to pay through the nose and not mind the earth shaking every so often.

This place does not exist anywhere on this Earth. Each destination has its own discomfort and risk.

nope...you're looking for neverneverland...lmaoooo

Southern Comfort

Nor anywhere in the world. It is either tropical with the bugs, rains and critters that go along with monsoons, hurricanes etc. Tornados are everywhere. Or you can live in frigidly cold areas. Places in between have all the different weather hazards so go figure--no where is worry free.

San Diego! It is near perfect! San Francisco and San Jose would be my second choice!

Amber C

no, i really dont think that there is. that is prob jus a made up place. lol

Lizzie

If there is, I don't live there.

Naw...there's always going to be something that you'll have to put up with no matter where you go. You just have to find the environment that suits your needs best.

xoxitzhanna

Southern California is the closest......San Diego area. Year round great weather, no tornado's/hurricanes, floods, etc.
Landslides & forest fires.....occasionally, but probably woulnd't effect you at all.
That other person was right also......central Georgia.

Kjelstad

Yes. We have too many people moving here now. Though it did snow a few years back, so maybe not.

south ms girl

Definantly not in mississippi.....winter is ok..not to cold, summers are very unbareable and definantly positive for hurricanes!

Hurricanes eliminates the entire coastal area, going inland a few hundred miles. Floods eliminates anything near any river, especially the big ones. Not too hot in the summer lets out anything south of New England. Not too cold in the winter lets out anything north of Florida. Forest fire lets out anything near woods or brush. I'd say you were out of luck.

I've heard that the California coast is nice, but you have the occassional earthquake and hurricane. The New England coast is nice, but probably too cold in the winter and again, you have the occasional hurricane.

You could try Lake Woebegone.

Colin G

Maybe Prescott or Sedona, Arizona. They'll still get fairly cold though in the winter and can even get some snow. Forest fires are a concern there though as is the freak flooding.
A lot of the Pacific Northwest doesn't get too hot or cold, but you have to deal with incessant rain much of the year and frustrating hipsters.
Austin also has a fairly moderate climate and the hurricanes will usually not make it that far inland. There is though, again, flooding and they have periodic droughts with the occasional rash of brush fires.
San Diego is pretty close. But you've got wildfires, possible landslides, and occasional flooding. And, of course, the risk of a tsunami.
Yeah, no perfect place.

Asheville, NC

Average high temps in summer are low to mid-80s.
Average low temps in winter are high 20s to low 30s (but that's pretty much only in the middle of the night.)

I've never seen a tornado in Asheville.

Hurricanes occasionally make it through the mountains, but by the time they get to Asheville they are usually just rainstorms.

I'll admit that it floods occasionally, like if there is heavy rain for several weeks in a row and the rivers rise too much for the banks to handle...then some streets occasionally flood. But never the whole city.

Landslides...nope.

Forest fires are a minimal risk because Asheville gets enough rain that most of what would normally burn in a forest fire stays moist, so nothing ever burns long enough to get out of control.

So, anyway...that's pretty close to what you asked for.

Sarah

Vermont gets down in the 20's and teens sometimes in the winter. Not too hot in the summer. Not tornadoes or hurricanes, never seen a landslide here or forest fires, sometimes there can be a flood but only once in while.

Since I live in the deep south, I can definitely tell you where not to go. Let me know when you find it, cause I'm looking for it too!
