What states in the US are mostly Blue. Have cities that have museums, science center, hospitals, greenways, wide open highways, very little traffic, four seasons, zoo, aquarium, baseball, colleges, & 4 hours or less from mountains or the ocean?
Do you think any other city exist out there or only Greensboro?
IDK if we move back to an area like CT due to the snow. We contemplate Virginia or South Carolina. South Carolina can be a bit too red.
Greensboro is an amazing little city and the Triad as a whole. I mean you are 4 hours or less from 5 casinos. Two zoos, aquarium, 5 to 6 children museums in an hour drive or less, 4 to 5 more 2 hours away, 3 hours from the beach, near the mountains, no traffic, 16 hospitals near by within an hour or leas, few more within 2 hours or less, mini golf, amusement parks, good park system, and so forth.
Only downside is no large art museum, no mass transit between the big cities, and politics are bit too red in NC.
Considering Worcester MA, Richmond VA, or Greensboro NC.
For a city its size, Greensboro is pretty middle of the road politically (left-leaning city, right-leaning outlying exurbs). It honestly strikes me as a very average kind of place; not a big city, but not a small, micropolitan community.
But the OP seems to desire a somewhat more progressive place than is typical of Greensboro. Baltimore, MD checks off most of those boxes, even including transit between cities, a large art museum (with transit to DC for an even bigger one), as well as lots of casinos nearby. Traffic isn't as bad as most other cities nearby, although the highways may be a bit on the clunky side in spots. If you don't like snow, consider living in Anne Arundel County or perhaps a bit further south/east; IMO Annapolis doesn't get much more snow than Greensboro does each year. Richmond may be another option for you if Baltimore is too big for you (no MLB though), as VA's politics are clearly trending bluer over time compared to NC.
But the real answers to the OP's question are places like Greenville, Roanoke, Lexington KY, Des Moines, Dayton, and Augusta, GA.

Dont do Worcester MA. Its $$, a lot more depressing than I originally thought and you are like 90 minutes from the beach. Thats far.
I really would do Hartford or Providence for MUCH milder weather over Worcester. And far nice areas with lower property values.
If of course, snow isnt an option. But stay clear of Worcester
A lot of east coast cities have already even named. Aside from those, maybe Ann Arbor, MI and Eugene, OR?
