I always hear about what a fun town Austin is too though.. I hear about them both equally.

On C-D. In real life, hardly.

Check the growth rates for the last couple of decades. There you will find who wins the REAL WORLD popularity contests.

Next.

If this list had Atlanta ranked in top 3 most popular cities, I suspect your tone would be more along the lines of: "It just shows the progress Atlanta is making and explains why we're experiencing such amazing growth!"

But since Atlanta is listed as one of the least favorite cities, the list is garbage.

Miami was voted sexiest. Miami is in the South.

these lists that ask for peoples general opinion on cities are generally popularity contests. There are certain cities in the south that come out on top a lot as well like Asheville and Charleston.

2 of the 5 most popular states in the US are in the South.

I tend to exclude Florida when considering the south. Florida is kind of a subspecies of it's own especially the southern half.

Next.

relocating due to popularity vs. relocating due to jobs...

if the list was a growth rate by percentage list then Atlanta would surely come out in the top 3 for the past decade.

I'm on Tripadvisor too. It's a good site.

I went to Portland a little over a year go, and I don't think it's underrated. It's a nice city though.
