Ah, I have really been considering Austin, and judging from the responses, I guess this is probably my place. I guess I should reword the part about getting snow. I don't mind if the city gets snow every once in a while (Portland gets about 1-2 days a year), but I don't want to live in some place where there's snow on the ground all winter long, or it's really cold all winter long (i.e. Chicago, Madison, Minneapolis, Detroit, NYC, etc.). So, I think this should open up the South (which I am very interested in), and some of the midwest (which I am not so interested in).
Would you consider Chapel Hill, NC? It's a real college town, has a music scene that will surprise you and a solid job market around the research triangle park.
Oh wow, I just read all the data for Chapel Hill, a wikipedia article, and a few other articles and it sounds amazing. Thank you for the suggestion Fort Lauderdale! I am really going to look into the area more. If anyone has any more suggestions, please send them my way

Yeah, the legendary Ben Folds Five formed in Chapel Hill!
I can give limited recommendation for my own area actually. If you can find a job it can be a fun, dynamic location for a young professional, but you are sacrificing some of your criteria. We actually attracted a really cool Jam Band/Indie festival here called Langerado. If you like cultural diversity (And I mean real diversity, not a clash of different cultures, but a melting pot), and we do have a left-leaning atmosphere, although anyone finds their place here. I wouldn't really consider it though unless you find good pay in your field.
