Roanoke, VA or Lexington, KY?
Roanoke, VA. I like the downtown more and being close to mountains.

Long Beach, CA or Sacramento, CA?

Not knocking Sacramento, it has its attractions... but would rather live in Long Beach --
it has a pleasant maritime climate, better air quality than the inland parts of the LA area,
even its own airport (with Jet Blue & Southwest). LB transit isn't so good; you'd want a car.
But the Blue Line is there if you want to go into downtown LA w/o driving.

If I was going to live in LA, but couldn't afford Santa Monica, Long Beach would be my choice.

Austin, VERY similar cities, but Austin has a lot more going for it with jobs.

Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard?

Provincetown.

But given the two islands, the Vineyard seems a little more happening than Nantucket.

Sticking to New England:

Providence, R.I., or Hartford, Ct.?

Providence, a million times over. Hartford sucks. Providence has my favorite Little Italy (Federal Hill) and a good intact collection of historic architecture.

Denver, CO or Phoenix, AZ?

Denver... I like its urban neighborhoods better and avoiding the extreme summer heat would be a plus too.

Holland, MI or Sheboygan, WI?

I find Portland to be more interesting and eclectic, livelier downtown and neighborhoods, more of a foodie scene, amazing parks and better public transit. I like Portland, could easily see myself comfortably living there.

Sacramento or Fort Worth?

Ft. Worth. I really like the DFW area. Don't like NoCal at all.

Orlando, FL or New Orleans, LA?
