Columbus has far more opportunities (economic and social) for young professionals and is much more of a a coheisve metropolitan area while Naples is more like a retiree haven with a very small but cute downtown surrounded by countless gated communities and swamps.
On the flip side Collier County, FL has gorgeous beaches and I am amazed by the natural beauty each time I go there, much more scenic than Columbus.
So overall Columbus but to retire/spend winters Naples.

Brooklyn Center, MN or Pine Hills, FL?
Brooklyn Center, MN
Both cities have some crime issues. However, I am far more familiar with the Twin Cities metro area where I spent my first 12 years and have visited five times since, than the Orlando metro area where I visited just once in 1991 and most of that was at Disney World. Know several people in the TC region and nearby western WI; don't know anyone in/near Orlando. The heat/humidity of central Florida would be a tougher adjustment than Minnesota's four seasons. Minnesota's fall colors are beautiful. With the exception of theme parks , the Twin Cities has a superior culture/entertainment scene. Brooklyn Center is just a short drive to Minneapolis and other nice cities/areas.
Jackson, CA or Jackson, MI?

Williamsport is historically significant and at one time was a major center of wealth and industry which present day contributes to its architecturally interesting and valuable neighborhoods; i.e "Millionaire's Row".
It is also the gateway to the northern tier of Pennsylvania, with its lush and mountainous terrain.

TX is too isolated for me.
Trenton, NJ or Bethlehem, PA
Definitely Bethlehem for its history and culture...another 'hidden gem'.
Springfield, MO. Not any real reasons, it's more to the north and it has a bit smaller population. Both pluses for me.
St Cloud, MN vs Fargo, ND.
St. Cloud, MN
Close call. Being closer to the Twin Cities and Duluth gives St. Cloud the edge IMO. From a city proper/metro amenities comparison, I would rate them about even. I think Fargo gets more windy weather.
Incline Village, NV or Coeur D'Alene, ID?

St. Cloud would probably be the more likely option due to proximity to Minneapolis, but Fargo is twice the size, so if we are choosing based on just the cities (and not proximity to another city), then Fargo.

Jacksonville or Tampa?
Tampa
Would not like the summers in either city. Have heard more good things about Tampa recently and especially nearby St. Petersburg. Larger metro with more to do. Have heard mixed reviews for Jacksonville. Being near St. Augustine is a plus IMO.
Incline Village, NV or Coeur D' Alene, ID?
