Williams. I much prefer the weather, elevation, location, proximity to a better city, and my husband has been asked to take a job in Williams on numerous occasions so I'm sure he could have a job there tomorrow if needed.
Milwaukee or Baltimore?
Baltimore. Both are great cities. Both have their issues, but I prefer B-More's weather, proximity to the Northeast corridor and urban layout.
Edit: Oops! I was too slow.

I'd be much more terrified to do so in Baltimore than in Milwaukee. I mean I even walk through Pittsburgh's worst neighborhoods (in daylight) and never feel uncomfortable. Not sure I could say the same for Baltimore. If and when Baltimore gets its crime under control my decision would be swayed towards Baltimore.
For Milwaukee I'd love to take day-trips to Chicago or Madison. The lakefront setting is appealing. There are great walkable historic neighborhoods. Very underrated city. Yes, there's still crime, but I feel like overall it's a safer city than Baltimore.
NEXT: Saranac Lake, NY or Bend, OR?
Saranac Lake for sure. The Adirondacks region is one of my absolute favorite places to be.

Providence, RI or Wilmington, DE
Providence.
God bless 'em in Wilmington; they're moving heaven and earth to turn that credit-card-bank haven into a city with a real live-work-play center. But despite their best efforts, the air still seems to get sucked out of downtown Wilmington by 6 p.m.
That's no longer the case in Providence, which is bigger to begin with.
It's a wash on the bigger cities each sits in the shadow of.
Hartford, Ct., or Springfield, Mass.? (Whichever one of these you choose, you'll fly into the same airport in Windsor Locks, Ct., to get to them.)

There's something just a little more funky about its Old Southern charm, and I really like that modular city plan James Oglethorpe devised for the city. Shame the city abandoned it after only a little while.

Columbia, Mo., or Columbia, S.C.?
Columbia, SC. Very underrated small metro. A good number of things to do for its size. Convenient to Charleston, Asheville, and Charlotte. Great people. A nice economy and affordable. Great quality of life.

Kansas City, MO or Cincinnati, OH?
I need to stop checking this thread so often.
Need you ask?
Kansas City for the win. Not to knock Cincy's considerable charm and history, but my forever hometown IMO is simply the most agreeable second-tier large city in the country to live in overall. (And I'd rank it above most of the superstar cities on the overall QOL scale too. It may not have the best of everything, but it has a lot of great things in and about it, some of them surprisingly so.)

Dallas or Houston?
Dallas. If I have to live in Texas I at least want hockey.
Nashville. Admittedly I have not been to Memphis and Nashville would make sense in many ways...but yeah, for me easily Nashville.
Cincy v Cleveland
Cleveland, though I haven't been to either
Honolulu or San Diego?
