1) Phoenix/Tucson- I live in Phoenix now, but aim to get out ASAP (contingent on a firm job offer) and would never come back this way again. Reasons: climate makes me feel sick most of the time (nausea from the heat, chronic coughing, hard to breathe, etc.,) ugly cities, too suburban, too conservative, seemingly transgressive leadership, leaders don't act in the best interests on the civic or state levels, absolutely no walkability, regardless of the economic situation now the quality of the jobs in the area is terrible and the more professional jobs don't pay what one could make in other cities (even when factoring in cost of living,) lack of a diverse economy and no prospects to change that, lack of public transit, closed-minded, and much, much more.
With all of the mega churches in Atlanat but it has no religous mentality ?
2) Oklahoma City: too spread out, no walkability, way too conservative for me, lack of options in dining and nightlife, Bible Belt city (I'm an atheist and don't like an overwhelming religious feel/culture)
3) Salt Lake City: no walkability, drab, too conservative, too much religious influence (see above,) bizarre laws affecting nightlife
4) Anywhere in the Deep South (except Atlanta): Bible Belt mentality, no appeal
5) Las Vegas: I think living there would spoil the getaway aspect of it, away from the Strip/Downtown... too spread out, too suburban, lack of a diverse economy
With all of the mega churches in Atlanta but yet it has no religous influince ?? lol

What's up with the Atlanta straw man arguments? Some cities have enough redeeming qualities for me to consider and you didn't mention other cities not on my personal list.
1. L.A. - smog, traffic, sprawl, I just couldn't imagine living here
2. San Fransisco - expensive, hobos, drugs, weather
3. Anywhere in Texas - conservative, boring, just for being Texas, need I say more?
4. Detroit - I just don't see any opportunities. The economy is terrible, no jobs
5. Cleveland - cold, boring, crumbling infrastructure, declining population
If I didn't already live here, Miami would probably be here. I think that the only thing that allows me to tolerate this place is the culture and people. That's the reason why I think I'll keep coming back, not too many Cubans in other parts of the US >.<
and just for fun, 5 best
1. Boston - very liberal, college town, smart people, lots of history
2. New York - it's New York! everything you could ever want in a place to live
3. Portland - liberal, outdoors, very "green", looks fun
4. Anywhere in Hawaii - same weather as Miami, minus the *******s
5. Chicago - like New York, just smaller
Lol sorry, I just wouldn't want to live there, doesn't mean it's a bad place
Have you ever been to Texas? If you have, where did you go?
