Answer 4

If you're going to rule out half the continental US, you're also ruling out the older cities which were designed for pedestrian living.

The best cities to live in without a car are probably Chicago, Boston, and New York, and possibly San Francisco. All have excellent public transportation. All are very expensive. Your weather requirements ruled out three of the four.

Maybe a small enough town that you can walk or bike everywhere would suit you. A family member did that for four years and managed just fine.

Answer 5

New York, Boston, Washington DC, San Francisco.  

To some extent Los Angeles and San Diego as well, depending on which part of the city.
