So I will give two lists.

Favorite to visit:

1. San Francisco
2. Los Angeles
3. San Diego
4. New York City
5. Boston

Favorite to live:

1. Tri-Cities, WA
2. Seattle, WA
3. Vancouver, WA
4. Wenatchee, WA
5. Medford, OR

Seems to me that Honolulu shouldn't be ahead of Tucson in the overall given their ranking in the medium cities category. Interesting list overall.

I had meant to tie it with Tucson rather than San Diego and I completely forgot to add New Orleans and Madison, WI to the list (both of which I love).

On my overall list, move Honolulu to tie Tucson and tie San Diego and New Orleans.
