There's finally a big city comparison. I'll take Houston.
Albany, Buffalo, or Rochester?
Followed by three mid-sized or smaller ones.
I'd like to go spelunking in what remains of the only subway in the United States to be totally shut down, and of course a visit to the birthplace of Buffalo wings is in order, but to live, I like New York State's capital city better - it's in the Hudson Valley and has both attractive neighborhoods and a nice riverfront. I could put up with Nelson Rockefeller's edifice complex (aka the Empire State Plaza) in exchange for all the rest.

Minneapolis-St. Paul or Seattle?
This is a tough decision. I like the dual-threat of metros like the Twin Cities, DFW, the Research Triangle, and I really like the cold weather/snow, but Seattle has always fascinated me. They both are relatively dense (2.5x as dense as my current city) but Seattle always struck me as more of the big city. I've never been to either city unfortunately so I would pick Seattle I think.

Rockville MD vs Moorestown NJ?
Rockville... I prefer its location within its own metro area and its regional location (DC > Philly), and I like that it's more diverse with a very nice, walkable town square area.

Kansas City, KS or North Las Vegas, NV?
KC. I have zero desire to be in Vegas. For vacation or otherwise.
Wow! I had no idea. Minneapolis for sure...I like it a lot and was unaware of its violent crime rate.
Athens, GA vs South Bend, IN
Athens, GA. Wonderful college town.
Dunwoody, GA or Plano, TX?
