I'm not sure if I would have voted because I'm not going to pretend like I know the people from every major city in this country, but I would have strongly considered Minneapolis. That being said, since it's not on the board, I picked nothing.
There are nice (and not so nice) ppl everywhere, but in Chicago, San Francisco, Minneapolis & Atlanta, I feel that there is a proportionately high percentage of great-quality, genuinely nice people considering the size of the cities they live in
Friendly is not the same as nice...one can not be particularly friendly but nice once you get to know them. I'm assuming we're talking about friendliness towards strangers as opposed to friends & family. There are lots of nice, high quality people everywhere, as well as lots of low quality people unfortunately.
You missed Minneapolis, which is known for "Minnesota Nice"...Texas cities also have a rep for friendliness. Once my family's Suburban ran out of gas in the middle of nowhere and the first person to drive by stopped, gave us a ride several miles to the nearest gas station & drove us back to the car.
On the other hand, I've never heard of SF, Seattle or Boston be mentioned as extra-friendly cities...

Great quality? do you think that San Fransicans and Atlantians are just naturally better than Bostonians or Phildelphians?
In terms of random strangers I would say Denver. I've never visited a city where people seem as genuine and forthcoming to people they don't know. Just saying from a travel perspective..

I'm surprised to hear that. I lived an hour south of Denver for many years and I would definitely characterize Front Range residents in general as a relatively reserved bunch, especially towards strangers. Not mean or rude, just more reserved. It's distinctly different from where I live now in Texas.
