Based on what I hear from practically everyone, the Southern U.S. is the "Promised Land" so to speak. Is it really better than any other region?
What makes it better?
DC, nor its surroundings, are southern by any stretch of the imagination. Additionally, you included several MD cities in your list, which is laughable.
If you think Maryland isn't southern that you must haven't explored the eastern shore, the counties south of Prince George's, and western MD.
Southern food beats the tar out of anything I ever ate.
When I visited Louisiana/Mississippi something clicked in me that said "I really wouldn't mind living here, in fact I'D LOVE IT!!!". My sister who went with me, and my parents as well, didn't care for it. So I honestly can't tell you when I'll be back there.
Maryland feels VERY southern.
Especially the Bushwood area and all the summer vacation destinations on the Potomac and Chesapeake bay. Friendly people and I love how they use the word "hun". Not a bad place overall.

The ladies say "honey" down south . I always thought "hun" was a Baltimore thing.
There is no such place as the promised land unless you are an ancient Isrealite. The south however is a great place, nice people, nice scenery and nice weather. Ive never lived there but I visit quite a bit and love the south. The south is not cheap compared with where Im from however, here in the midwest land and homes are cheap compared with most of the south. If I moved south I would have to downgrade my home to do it. The south IS cheap compared with the northeast however.
Better cities by what standard? The only cities IMO that are interesting or worth visiting in the South are Miami, Savannah, Charleston, Austin and New Orleans. I don't really consider D.C. to be a southern city, and I don't the general public does either.
I might be mistaken, but it seems that the OP's question was more about living in the South as opposed to visiting. Of course it's all subjective, but if we're talking about the most livable cities, that list would have to be expanded by a good lil' bit IMO.
