I am looking for your opinions on the best city in the United States according to my qualifications:
*Liberal
*Near the Ocean (within a 3 hour drive or less)
*Safe
*Diverse
*Interesting (LOTS of attractions)
*Natural Beauty
*Decent Size (metro area of 1-5 million people)
*Friendly
*Lots of Restaurants
*Walkable
I know that's asking a lot, but please tell me what you can come up with!
Boston, NYC, Philly, Baltimore, DC, Miami, Tampa, Houston, NOLA, San Diego, LA, SF, Sacramento, Seattle all would seem to meet most if not all of the citreria. Not sure on Atlanta, is it within 3 hours of the beach?

"Safe" and "Friendly" are very subjective. If you have money and you like direct communication, Philly is a good choice. If you're poor and you prefer "southern charm", then I agree with you. Same goes for every city (SF, Boston, NYC, etc.).
How the heck is natural scenery an utter failure for The Delaware Valley?
Especially the city of Philadelphia itself, having one of the largest park systems in the country.
Personally, I find living with a distinct 4 season climate in a lush green valley between two rivers, with the mountains and beach nearby quite beautiful in the natural scenery department.
I guess everyone has their preferences though.
