Marquette, MI or Caribou, ME?
Both isolated and very cold. Marquette seems more interesting as a city being and has the lakeshore of Lake Superior where Caribou looks pretty landlocked. I'll go with Marquette even though I would generally prefer Maine, Caribou is just a bit too far up there and not really close to anywhere I'd want to be in Maine.

St. Louis or Kansas City?

St. Louis or Kansas City?
Amittedly I have yet to visit both places, but I think I'll go with St.Louis. A very close one, but I think it may fit my interests a little bit more. It has higher black population, is more transit friendly, & has slightly lower cost of living. Even though KC has better growth & job scene, St.Louis's isn't too far off.

Austin, TX or Boston, MA?

Woooh. Two cities that I'd be more than happy to live in! Finally! I'm picking Austin because overall I think the weather is better for us and the lifestyle we want will be a bit cheaper there.

Charlotte v Raleigh

Charlotte. Both are great metro areas and have excellent qualities of life. But there's a good bit more to do in Charlotte, less expensive, and I like Charlotte's downtown better.

Dallas/Ft. Worth, TX vs. Minneapolis/St. Paul, MN?

MSP, for about 100 reasons, including weather. For me anyway, it's not even a contest.

Albany, NY vs. Columbus, OH

Albany, it has some interesting architecture and it's location is in a sweet spot, roughly 3 hours to Boston, NYC, and Montreal, close to the Adirondacks. Ohio just really isn't on my radar.

Saugatuck, MI or Wellsboro, PA?

Saugatuck... the town itself has alot more going for it (restaurants, shops, etc) despite being 1/3 the size of Wellsboro, and in general that part of Michigan is much more attractive to me than where Wellsboro is in PA.

Holland, MI or Amsterdam, NY?

Holland for sure. It's part of the greater Grand Rapids area and offers some cool touristy pull in the summer. Amsterdam is much too small, and while being close-ish to NYC is a HUGE plus, it's the same distance as Holland to Chicago, which mostly negates that benefit.

San Antonio v Oklahoma City

Charleston. One of my favorite cities in America. My wife and I honeymooned there. We love taking weekend getaways and even the occasional day trip there. Still pretty affordable considering its coastal location, incredible beaches, great restaurants, history galor, great architecture, great people. Happy, relaxing place. Just love it!

Flint, MI or Toledo, OH?
