In honor of dominance the tropical/subtropical attribute has received so far this thread, Miami earns first place without any exception. A distant second can go to Houston, by default of being the second warmest year-round city on the list. Although inland, San Antonio has low enough latitude/mild enough winters to achieve a distant third.
I feel like a lot of Americans think that Miami is this super unique place because they are comparing it to their corner in the US and forgetting that the rest of the world exists. There are a plethora of large cities in the world that are just as tropical as Miami.

That video is overwhelmingly comprised of man made scenery, not natural scenery. Finding a similar video of Cleveland, Milwaukee, Erie, etc. shouldn't be too hard. Miami would have more buildings and sunshine, thats it.
Florida is flat, and its beaches look more like Great Lake beaches than anything else.

"Man-made" is natural. Everything in this universe is natural. But even granting that...

Flatness is inconsequential. Your statement is illogical, unless you can show me the coconuts/proliferous tropical vegetation growing throughout the Great Lakes.
You can always depend on posts in C-D trashing or downplaying Miami. Thanks everyone for not disappointing me.
I've been to SG a few times and live in Miami. There definitely are some similarities between the two and the weather in SG, everytime I went there, was like Miami in the late Summer or early Autumn. In other words, very hot, humid and rainy.
Not sure how to exactly describe this, but I'd say that Miami feels more geographically delicate. While both cities have reclaimed land on their edges, the natural environment of SG is more rugged overall.
Both cities have a flashy for sure that contributes to their built environment. Both have districts that maintain the charm of yesteryear juxtaposed against glass, steel and architectural flashiness. SG feels wealthier than Miami, though a lot of money from elsewhere migrates to Miami.
SG is very clean and almost sterile. It's not gritty at all from what I have seen. That has its pluses and minuses.
Since the discussion is scenic metro area, not just immediate city, the Buffalo metro has a LOT of variety going for it. I suspect most people are unfamiliar with most of Western NY outside of Niagara Falls itself, and maybe a little bit of Buffalo.
Not sure how Houston made this list and we didn't!!
I'd probably go with Cincinnati or Pittsburgh of these cities, personally.
