EL Paso, better climate and I prefer the Southwestern element to the vibe in OKC. Yes Juarez is a hot mess, but most people don't know El Paso is one of the safest cities in the country.
Los Angeles. I lived in West Los Angeles for a few years - when I was much younger.... if I could have lived closer to the coast - or in Santa Monica - it would have been better.
But I have grown tired of living amongst millions of people.

Understood, and I interpret your answer to mean that you consider both Bellevue and Clayton examples of "developed, vertical inner suburbs."
I still remember visiting my brother when he lived in Woodinville, a little to the northeast of Bellevue. He drove me up 405 from the airport, and when we got to Bellevue, I thought for a moment that we were passing through Seattle itself until I noted I didn't see the Space Needle.

This one is hard. Were it for the self-contained cities, I think I'd take Missoula. However, I appreciate Flagstaff's closer proximity to bigger cities such as Los Angeles, Albuquerque and Phoenix. Also, of course it'd lose its novelty, but the Grand Canyon is right there. Hiking there in off season would be fantastic. Flagstaff.

New Orleans, LA or Providence, RI?
I always hate to choose between two cities that I love, but there's no place like New Orleans.
Well, we've come to the first point where someone can't stand either choice!
So I'll brew some coffee, make Bloody Marys for everyone (it's Sunday, after all) and put forth two more places:
Wayne, Pa., or Mission Hills, Kan.?
