I hate lists that include Cleveland and Columbus but not Cincinnati.

Yeah this^. Some people care more about going to the club and living in a high rise above Whole Foods while others prefer a quiet single family home with farmland and general store. So yeah...quality of life is very subjective.

Fancy charcuterie is all the rage these days. I've had great boudin in NYC and Chicago.

Well, of course they would eventually catch up.

LOL @ "charcuterie."

If Honolulu or New Orleans were on the list, I would've chosen them. They've won in a number of surveys and polls regarding QOL in America.

But given the list, I chose San Diego.

It all depends. You can have a great QOL in all those cities and a crappy QOL in all of those cities.

There is no correct answer. Quality of life is subjective.

For example the poster above me said Cleveland. I would hate living in Cleveland, but he obviously loves it. Good quality of life for him, would be terrible for me. Same goes for where I live. Many people would hate it, I love it.

Its subjective.
