I love Detroit. It is still a wonderful city, but I would pick Bham or jacksonville because of the weather.

Detroit is my favorite from the bunch for all criteria you picked, but you asked where I would rather live so.....

Jacksonville doesn't have a CSA, only a MSA.

Well for a CSA, there has to be another metro area next to one. The Jacksonville MSA is isolated around the immediate area.

Even with all the problems Detroit has it still beats all thos cities IMO. But im not sure where I would rather live JAX or Detroit.

Also lets not forget Jacksonville is the largest city but not the largest Metro in Florida there are three larger then JAX metro.
