Other - Destinations

I have never met an expat who is happy living in Sydney (AU), and I mean *never* over many years, despite its physical beauty. I am thinking of finally giving up myself, so need to figure out where else to live...

Where on this planet can I go on a European passport, that:
- Is warm and bright. Say, 22-30C for most of the year.
- Has a sense of community, connection and at least a little cultural depth.
- Is run intelligently and civilly, without a heavy load of bureaucratic incompetence, wastefulness or intimidation. (Sydney's awful that way.)
- Has a good intellectual heritage - universities, research, education in general. Or at least just a sense of quality and concern - not a cowboy approach.
- Is quiet. At least in places, so it's easy to find a peaceful home.
- Has nice, affordable homes (rent and buy) relative to wages. (I guess anywhere will be better seeing as Sydney has the world's #1 most expensive property relative to salaries.)

Or should I just move planet? :(

Name me a place or an event you travelled to in which you were overwhelmed with awe? Tell me about some thing, event or place that blew you away completely.

All we really want is a beach for ourselves and 11 year old daughter. Dont need nightlife, amusement parks, or races; just a clean, comfortable, affordable hotel on a white sand beach and sunshine. I prefer the Gulf but we would look at east coast too. Who knows a good beach-hotel combo we can enjoy without breaking the bank?
