Your kidding, you manage to put Phoenix, Charlotte and San Jose but cannot throw in Miami or Orlando? NO FLORIDA CITIES?!

THAT SIR IS not very fair, is it?
the "other" categories shouldn't be for Miami.

Sorry! I was pretty tired when I made the thread.


As for excluding New York, I did it because I knew the vast majority of people would vote New York.

P.SI looked for a thread similar to this one and I couldn't find any.
I voted for San Francisco. Their weather and climate cannot be beat even Los Angeles does not compare to SF. It does not get too hot or freezing cold, in a word its all about consistency. I went to visit one time in May and another time in March and weather was just lovely. None of that smog junk is there because the air in SF is so much more fresh. More rain than L.A. in SF and I just felt that the people over there were better.

Also, I enjoyed the variety of restaurants over in SF and even went to Fisherman's Wharf. I even managed to visit the UC Berkeley campus one time and I have to say that it was HUGE! Another thing about SF is that their sports fans are probably more loyal than L.A. And much better public transit exists in SF. Some of the greatest heavy metal bands formed in the SF Bay area(Testament, Metallica, Exodus). SF rocks except that its too expensive unfortunately.

Chicago. Why? If offers all that the other big cities offer, but for cheaper costs (but its still not inexpensive by any means).

Pueblo Colorado. Size is not everything and Pueblo has everything a larger city has to offer with less expense and traffic.

What's with all the comparisons to LA?

Besides, LA is the principal city on the West Coast. SF is just a nice city to the north...LA is to NYC, as SF is to Boston/Philly.
