Ten years ago I’d have said Hong Kong, without hesitation. Now? I’m not so sure

Taiwan is an option. It actually has a visa that allows you to work there.

A lot of people are throwing out country names with little regard of the ability to live and work there legally.

Tel Aviv, and Israel in general, is very car centric, not what you mean by diversed and cultured and you will need to be a Jew to get an Israeli citizenship, permanent residencies are also hard to get AFAIK.

Buy a good winter coat and come here to Stockholm, it is cold but (like Copenhagen) the infrastructure is really good and built for the weather.

In the US: Miami,Atlanta, Houston minus #4. Is there a city outside of Northeast that isn't car centric? "Actually diverse" is a tall order. Maybe a handful of cities fit that globally imo: in addition to the list above, nyc and I don't know, can't think of any but I am sure they exist.

Houston is much easier to navigate with a car, but you can find a few transit-centric areas (mostly downtown and in the areas around Rice). You would be SOL if you wanted to get to a different part of town without a car though.

Athens nails (1), (2), (3) but not (4). I mean moving around the city with the bike is dangerous, as there are virtually no bike roads.

The climate wasn't _very warm_ this year around though and the energy crisis is going to hit Greece hard. The summer is fantastic though as you can hop around the islands with ease.

The diverse culture, hm. Well it's no Vienna or Berlin, I guess but you can meet ppl from all over the place.

The tech scene is booming.

Consider Boulder, CO if you've got stupid amounts of money. The winters here are very mild (no, not sarcasm) and you'll find plenty of 50-70 F sunny days in the dead of January.

I looked it up, wow you aren't kidding. It's about the same latitude as my hometown (roughly) so I just assumed it got as cold, but no it's significantly warmer.
