Yes I have. I have been there in 2012. And yes, I know it doesn't get that hot, and that there are mountains all around. But eh....close enough to qualify.
No matter how flat the valley/basins of certain cities are, the fact that those cities have Hills and Mountains running through or around them in the city-limits, or metro areas, should disqualify them. There are other cities in the US that are TRULY flat, in the sense that there are no Hills over 200ft anywhere in the metro. LV, Phoenix, LA, are too close to mountains terrain, to be considered "flat" in the same way Miami truly is. Especially a city like LA that actually has Mountains running through, and biseccting the geographic core of the County in Half. And plus, there's plenty of foothill areas in LA that reach 200+ feet in elevation, such as Baldwin Hills, View Park, Windsor Hills, City Terrrace in East LA, the Hollywood Hills, Beverly Hills, etc. Houston and Dallas are close, but they actually can get rather frigid in the winter. The only city that should truly be on this list is Miami.
Houston and Dallas can hardly be described as getting frigid in winter (especially Houston). But even if that were true, both cities are still warm to hot for half the year, the qualification the OP put forth. So Houston, Dallas, and Miami all fit the OPs qualifications.
That being said, the term of this thread is quite silly, and seems like a troll thread.

Fits the manufactured qualifications you mean which aren't accurate based on the traditional definition of a grid. Brownie points however for seeing through the troll thread smokescreen.
Like most of exurban Connecticut, Granby is a boring, two-horse town with snooty, unfriendly locals; more trees than people; and barely any services. Because New England towns impose strict land use/development restrictions, most of the homes in and around Granby are from the 19th and early 20th centuries--and most require some serious TLC. It's freezing cold for more than half of the year (mid-October-early May) and quite humid in the summer (June-August). Lately, it seems like Connecticut in particular has been plagued with serious storms, up to and including hurricanes, tornadoes, and blizzards.
Those are not stereotypes--it's the truth! Believe it or not, I've been to Granby, as I have family and family friends in West Hartford, Avon, East Windsor, Torrington, and Cornwall, and those were my observations.

But Albuquerque isn't really that flat, with the foothill slopes of the Sandias on one side of the Rio Grande and the West Mesa on the other. Last week it got hot in the mid to high 90's but it wasn't uncomfortable as it was dry and breezy and in the shade it felt perfectly fine.
