Small city but positive feel is Asheville, NC. Beautiful scenery, laid back vibe, interesting architecture, walkable, friendly and attracts people from all over.
Seattle's energy during summer is incredible! People in Seattle really appreciate summertime given the infamous weather during all the other seasons, so summertime is the time to relish in the light. Amazing energy.
No other city gives off "positive" energy. NYC has energy, but a lot is disgruntled or hostile. Boston has energy but they are snotty towards outsiders.
But when you step off the plane into the New Orleans area, you can sense the laid back atmosphere. The same thing is to be had in San Francisco or even Austin.
These are all cities that people want to live in, not have to live in. There is immense pride and people love where they live. You just don't see that many other places.
LOL before I even read your post, these were the exact cities I thought of immediately! I totally agree.
I would add Fort Worth, Nashville, and Portland, Oregon to the list, as well as Colorado Springs and Asheville, NC.
NOLA and SF,yes but Austin? I just don't feel it at all.
I feel it every time I visit there, but for me it's the whole general area from just north of Austin to San Antonio, which is another great city with very positive vibes.
Everyone in Austin is so proud of their city, there's so much to do, hard to not have fun in this city.
When you step off the plane you just know the city is going places.
Is it a big coincidence that you live in Austin? Nothing about Austin gives off positive energy, IMO.
