What place has California weather, can get by with English and his cheaper than California?

Are you looking for major cities/tech hubs? California is huge, plenty of very nice and affordable areas if you are ok with being away from a major hub.

Either, I've been in California all my life. Looking for a change but also down for any suggestions in California but outside of major cities.

Chico, Roseville, Granite Bay, similar types of places in socal 2 or 3 hours from the big cities.

I like the Santa Rosa area, Sonoma, even the Sacramento area can be nice if you’re ok with hot summers.

I’ve never been to Palm Springs myself but have heard good things.

Ventura is also reasonable considering what you get: beach, proximity to LA and right next door to beautiful Santa Barbera.

There are places in Australia that might have weather similar to California. USD would go further here also.

What places?

Most of the country really - Sydney, Brisbane, Perth, Goldcoast, Sunshine Coast, Cairns

Really? I heard that the sun really burns in the summer... so much so, that even people of African descent get sun burns. Are these places exceptions?

These are coastal cities, which are cooler than interior. Most of the population lives on the coast.

Brisbane and surrounds get decent weather. Wollongong avoids the crowds of Sydney but stays mild into winter. Other places depend on how warm you want winters to be; the capitals wouldn't get winter conditions like parts of the US shovelling driveways. If there are two snowflakes where I live, it would make front page of the paper.

Ensenada, Mexico! (Or just plain Tijuana)

I've been to Tijuana a lot for very very short trips. How safe is it to live there and what's it like?

Barcelona. Maybe Lisbon and other parts of Spain or Portugal.
