Austin TX is nearly 900k

San Antonio is supposed around 1.4M, but the core is much much less...

San Fransisco is about 800k, but most of the city is within view of the bay, so it has a whole different feel...

In contrast San Diego has a smaller population that San Antonio, but is weirdly configured, with large amount nearly empty space dedicated to military bases and lots of sprawlish fringe areas, but the core has some nice features and the weather is unbeatable...
A lot of words and you didn't even answer the question. Play by the rules Chet.

I'd go with the general California East Bay area.

NY and LA aren't mid-sized cities.
