Title: Not sure why Placerville as there are better options in the SF Bay Area

..to meet their criteria except for the price range of the home...  ???:

We want to retire in a place with a low cost of living, no humidity and no colder than 50 degrees — I freeze easily! Where should we go?

I am 62 years old, my wife is 64 years old. We plan to retire in five years. Here are the conditions that are important to us. We want to live in a state where:

-The temperature is a maximum of 80 degrees and during the day not less than 50 degrees (my wife cannot absorb much more heat – and I freeze easily!). It’s okay if it’s cool overnight, but I want it to warm up during the day. Please no snow.

A low tax burden would be beneficial, but not critical. Our house budget is open. I would estimate $ 250,000 to $ 450,000. Sorry if that’s a lot of choices.

I’ve used the residential calculator several times, but nothing really helpful comes out, so I decided to write for help.

...stop by once late at night to pump gas on my way back home from red hawk casino ...

I usually stop by there for "gas" too when I go to Lake Tahoe  ;D. I believe that's the last traffic light on 50 until Tahoe.. ???

Yep, the temps alone won't meet their criteria because the high Summer temps get way over "80" and the low Winter temps get well below "50"...in Placerville.

And yes, Placerville also get "snow" a few days of the year albeit very light snow...for the most part.
