LA: sprawled out, ugly, smog, rich snobs and random violence.
SF: ULTRA ULTRA radical, like portland on steroids, homeless people don't bother me but latte sipping, anti gun, hipster dressed, PETA loving white people do.
LV: cool to visit but, gamblings not my thing and neither is the desert.
Phoenix: same as LA except worse because of the drug cartels
If I had my choice, of major cities not to live in, they would be:
Detroit - crime rate way too high, bad economy, city is supposedly a dump.
Seattle - way too much rain, not enough sunshine for my liking. And NY gets a lot of rain, but it comes more in the form of thunderstorms whereas Seattle's is constant rain which occurs at a higher daily rate. Some don't mind the rain as much as others, but it'd be very depressing for me. Sight-seeing Seattle (on vacation) would be perfectly fine, but I couldn't live there.
Miami / Cleveland - high crime rate, bad weather. Not a lot to do in Cleveland(compared to other major cities), and Miami just doesn't seem all that desirable to me.
New York - I don't actually live in NYC, but living there would be way too hectic for me. First of all, it's too crowded. Secondly, the tension of this city is sky-high - people are always rushing about, moreso than in other US cities. It's a great city if you like a lot of things to do and places to see, but I don't need all that. And thirdly, the prices of homes is ridiculously high.
Fairbanks - not enough sunshine, and near 24 hours darkness during the winter would drive me mad. Plus it's not nearly warm enough during the summer.
Once again this list would be valid only if I had my choice.

If Detroit's economy is so bad, why am I still working and living in a house on a lake (with a boat).
Houston - Visited, just not a fan. Nice people though
Dallas - Visited, just not a fan as well. People are nice but I must admit they're nicer in Houston!
Hartford - Lived here and will never again. People are backward, the vibe of the people are backward and it lacks a decent social scene and cultural identity.
Los Angeles - Smog central and traffic
Seattle - Gorgeous city except the weather drives me off the wall, me and clouds don't do well together.
Location: Detroit's eastside, downtown Detroit in near future!

1) San Francisco- out of it's mind liberal, and expensive 2) New York- out of it's mind expensive, and liberal 3) Honolulu- would be great to visit, but COL and distance from everything would be terrible 4) Juneau, Alaska(see #3) 5) Portland- I couldn't imagine living in a city with such repressive zoning like that
1. Oklahoma City - TOO BORING. I think I'd cut my wrist there...
2. Chicago - TOO COLD. That Chicago cold is a different kind of cold.
3. Detroit - TOO UGLY AND COLD. Run down & depressing.
4. Boston - TOO COLD and just not my style. The sky is grey TOO long, depressing.
5. Minneapolis/St. Paul - FAR TOO COLD. That kind of cold is just uncalled for!
