He does keep us amused. A little.

So why do you want to retire there? There are more moderate climates in
the world.

I'm keeping some of his posts to amuse my friends too. He is hilarious when he loses his
temper - and it's soooo easy to make him lose it... I wonder if he has killed all his
neighbours already. LOL

Right. But, you'll find a lot of them jetting off to Vail, or Aspen, or Sun
Valley, or Tahoe. A few even make their way over to the Alps.
My own guess regarding the prime determinant of the time of year that
vacations are taken is that familial obligations prevent most people from
going except when their children are on holiday from school. And, I'd guess
that employers have, over the years, come to assume that most employees will
want to take their vacation days during the months of June, July or August.
I know that when I worked for any fairly large organization it was the norm
for the boss to pass around a list sometime during the spring time. On it
each person was asked to list his or her vacation preference, and, in case
of conflicts with other employees, the boss sought to work out a compromise
or settled the matter by going by seniority.

Any piece of land will have the number of people is can sustain, living on
it. Very few people have chosen their country of residence based on climate.
But if you want to play that game, note there's a lot more people from hot
countries trying to get into cold countries, than the other way around.

They do? The worlds most popular tourist destinations aren't in the tropics.

Many retired Americans from the upper Midwest (those who can afford it)
maintain TWO homes - Arizona in the winter and a "summer home" in a
resort area of their home state. (The "best of both worlds", perhaps -
but it involves furnishing, maintaining and paying taxes on two separate
dwellings.)

I inherited a nice house with a great back porch that looks across two
fairways and a lake to watch the sun set in the mountains.
It's great when it's not too hot. Lots of local activities as well.

The house taxes in Arizona are pretty light. Between $700 & $800 for a
nice house.

True. New england or the West or Canada are more likely. So far this
summer I've been to Nova Scotia and I'm getting ready to go to the
western parks.

I see no correlation. Paris has a very moderate climate. A similar
climate in the U.S. would probably be that of San Francisco or Seattle.

A siesta makes it ideal. You're saying any place with coping mechanisms for
the temperature is not ideal? Any place with coats, building insulation,
heaters, etc.?

Not for the weather. But in any case, that's not the game I was trying to
play. I just meant that more people on the planet are acclimatized to warm
weather than to cold. It would be silly to claim or believe that most people
live where they do by choice, especially choice dictated by temperature.

Come on now. Add up all the numbers of all the places people go on vacation
and how many people go there. The fact that there are a few very popular
concentrations of tourist activity in predominantly cold places (Paris,
etc.) doesn't take away from the vast numbers of beach destinations and
other warm vacation spots that may each receive fewer visitors than Paris
but in aggregate exceed it.
