Lol I know your bout to say "wow Stefan how many threads are you going to start in one day?" But I have just been getting a lot of ideas!
So this one is about Coastal Cities VS Inland Cities alot of Americas largest cities are either coastal or perched upon a major lake or river. Cities like Miami NYC and LA thrive on and had their stepping stones from/on the ports. Where as others use them for tourism such as Salt Lake City etc.
But inland cities has to have the hardest recognition and either developed due to a rush for a product or industrial use cities like Atlanta we're based upon the cotton and trade industry Charlotte also trade and cotton or like Winston-Salem is unique it joined from 2 towns and emerged as a large tobacco industry! Other cities like St. Louis and mid west cities are another story they had to rely on what that area had to offer and build trade posts etc. Inland cities offer more building land but it's hard for them to build that "Major City" status.
So which do you think is better?
Take in consideration the vibes, culture, economy, population, major companies etc.
I Live in an Inland city (Orlando) so from experience, Coastal cities. Access to more industries IMPO. Having Air, Land, and Water Transport suites ANY city well. Also skylines tend to be built by them. I know not one coastal city with an Inland skyline. Well Except Jacksonville. But I meant a skyline that is not built off of a river or lake or any body of water!
All in all air is better as well and weather is usually cooler in coastal cities.(Most People Dont Like Heat) I do! But if it is a thriving city like Atlanta then sure why not. Even Orlando is not that bad.
There's a natural beauty and energy associated with large bodies of water that just can't be found in landlocked cities.
Well you also have cities that have rivers and beautiful mountains! I would actually prefer a city that has mountains in the back drop. Also mountain cites work much the same way as coastal cities or more because they're cooler and they don't have nearly as much humidity as compared to coastal cities and inland cities.

True. Humidity is a no-no in my book. Although I don't think being on the coasts has anything to do with it. For instance, Miami, Charlotte, Washington DC, NYC, and Boston aka basically up and down the east coast can have some of the most stifling humidity anywhere in the country.
Whereas, on the west coast, humidity like that can not be found whatsoever.
Also, Seattle, Portland, San Francisco, and Los Angeles all have mountains in the background.

Hard to talk about "better" but coastal cities or port cities tend to have more exchange with other countries therefore tend to be more vibrant, cosmopolitan and tend to develop more pronounced culture. Not surprising up to this day New York feels more European while LA feels more Asian since these were the major areas of the world served by their ports.
If you compare their growth rates to that of the third largest city, Chicago, you can see how Chicago got outpaced by them both in terms of size and cultural significance. Strangely, being an international port is a huge advantage even in the age of air travel.
