I don't know honestly, never been to any of these places and after moving around several times within the US I realize how nice it is to just be setted in one place, but here's what I would consider: Netherlands (I really like biking), Germany (Cologne seems like a nice vibe), France (Probably Paris, Food obviously, but I also really appreciate people's willingness to protest stuff)

> Probably Paris

Paris is probably one of the worst places to live in Europe. Looks nice on postcards and it's nice to visit when you never live there, though.

Hard disagree. Paris is lovely and gets more so every day with reduced car traffic increased greenspace etc. You're mad. The only place better is Amsterdam
I like it, and especially compared to the US it's a huge upgrade
The US is a single place? I did not know that.
Everywhere in the US is subject to the same dysfunctional government and awful societal design.

Even the best place in the US is worse than Paris

It's funny that you generalised a region of 12.2 million but then is offended by someone generalising the US.

You've repeated a cliche about the city.

Did you live there? Anything particular?

That made you decide: "never live there, though"

Wouldn't you have said, "The US are," if you actually believed that?
Nederlands has not so great weather. If you're used to the West Coast and like to cycle, try Girona. A bit more wet though. Pay is obviously a lot lower than you may be used to.
