Port Orange... I'm more familiar with Conway as my wife used to live just outside town, but I prefer Port Orange for being in a more politically moderate area and being within an hour of Orlando.

Sante Fe, NM or Flagstaff, AZ?
Tough one. I like both a lot, very beautiful areas with interesting and unique history. I'd go with Flagstaff though because it gets more snow, is right off I40 and is closer to SoCal.
This one is interesting. Two cities I don't know well but are pretty close to the top of my list for places I would live that I don't know well. I'll take Louisville just cause it feels like it has a bit more going on in its urban cores and also because it is a bit larger. I'd also be very curious about living on the IN side since I have business in IN (don't know if there's any tax benefit but I'm just curious)

New York City, NY vs Reno, NV
I actually been to NY not too long ago. I like the hustle and bustle of the city. But Ive been to Reno hella times. I really like the Marina in Sparks NV.
Due to COL and lower taxes, I would pick Reno over NYC.

Lake Tahoe CA/NV or Flagstaff AZ?
Flagstaff. Nice underrated area of AZ. I like the forest and nearby mountains.

Did not see that coming, but makes sense!

Pittsburgh, PA or Atlanta, GA?
Pittsburgh is great and I wouldn't be upset at all to live there, but ultimately Atlanta will win for practical reasons. Comfort, familiarity, close to our networks, plenty of friends there, and so forth.
Hanover.
I've been there and it's lovely. Great location on the river too. I'm sure Ithaca is nice too, but I get the impression it's not as family friendly.

A couple other Ivy League cities:
Princeton, NJ or New Haven, CT?
The answer to this one depends on how I'm feeling that day.
Princeton looks like it was surgically removed from the Hamptons and plopped down in Central New Jersey. It's too cute for words — so cute, in fact, that it may choke to death on its own preciousness, hence my referring to the borough as "terminally charming Princeton."
But it has some great eateries and some gorgeous homes.
New Haven, needless to say, is rougher around the edges (and in the middle) than Princeton. But Yale's mostly Academic Gothic campus is a marvelously unified work that has nonetheless absorbed other styles that coexist with it (three of its colleges, including one of its two newest, are Georgian Revival, and one of those hides behind a Gothic facade; two others are the work of Finnish Modernist master Eero Saarinen).
And Yale and New Haven have a decidedly urban vibe Princeton university and borough lack.
I don't mind visiting Princeton for a change of pace, but I'd rather live in New Haven, warts and all.
Manchester, N.H., or Birmingham, Ala.?
