It’s really a cross between a Mediterranean and a hot arid climate.

LA definitely is not hot, and it is still too wet to be considered arid. Are you even familiar with the Coastal Southern California Climate? It is indeed much more Mediterranean (probably cooler than the Med in summer, actually) than it is 'hot arid.' To be frank, LA has an even more mild (and better) climate than the Mediterranean. Hot arid exists in California obviously but it's not in Los Angeles.
It's a misconception that LA is hot. It's not, especially not for American standards. It's close to 100 degrees in New York right now and in Coastal Los Angeles it's not even 65.
Anybody that says New York has a good climate is a liar, is disingenuous, or is just a glutton for misery. It truly has a horrible climate, disgusting humidity in the Summer, rain all the time. Winter is miserable and is absolutely not worth being in the city for more than a few days around Christmas. Constant rain, slush, mix. Not much pretty snow, usually it's a nasty mix. Disgusting. You will get about two weeks of actual nice weather in the mid fall and late Spring. The other 50 are misery.
