Miami
Orlando
Las Vegas
and pretty much any city not mentioned in the "overpraised" category.

Your turn.
Socal is more overpraised than NorCal!! I Think Locally LA is more overpraised than San Fran. On CD though You stand corrected!! On CD LA is underpraised!! Though when it comes to "most bashed Overpraised cities" LA, Houston, Phoenix, and Miami win the title!!! It's funny how how people leave out the other bashed cities and bag on these ones.
