In terms of nightlife, job opportunities, integration, economy, overall ranking, whatever you choose!

The Climate is arrid, no hurricanes, only small tornadoes, NO Earthquakes! and when it snows 3 feet, it's usually gone 2 or 3 days later..
Cost of living has risen a bit, but it's a wonderful place to live!!
1. Minneapolis - Total bias. (but not unfounded)
2. San Francisco - Uniqueness, economy
3. New York - Duh.
4. Chicago - Still, America's second city
5. New Orleans - Only thing of worth in the sunbelt. People, Architecture.
6. Boston - History, geography, Economy, enlightened.
7. Philadelphia - Classic.
8. Washington - Government, economy, amenities.
9. Saint Louis - Pure Americana, wholly undeserving of its reputation.
10. Seattle - Economy, geography.
11. Phoenix - Just kidding.
