I know 'temperate' is a very subjective idea, but what livable cities do people know that are reasonably temperate?

At the moment I live in Quito, and the temperature here is pretty much the same year round, i.e. low to mid 20's (70's), dropping a little in the evenings.

A couple of years in Tokyo, with cold winters and horribly sticky summers, really reminded me how much I appreciate the climate here. Some people complain Quito is too cold, but for me, it's perfect.

That got me wondering if there are other places out there with similar temps.

Cuernavaca, Mexico (also "City of Eternal Spring")
Canary Islands
Portion of San Diego, US closest to the coast--apparently it gets very hot very quickly as you move inland

Thank for the suggestions, though if the average weather stats are right, Kunming gets down to near 0 in winter, that's a bit cold for me! I'm going to look at the others.
