I wouldn't live in any city with months of hot humid weather every year, so that pretty much leaves out the entire Southeast and the eastern half of TX. I *might* make an exception for NOLA, though!
Most of the cities on this list are way to expensive and you only get a little for a lot (no names), so therefore I'd prefer them as substitute them as tourist destinations or have crime through the roof, even as far as major cities go... (I'm not gonna say any names.) That said the only ones I could live in are Houston and Chicago. Chicago is still expensive but I would see it as a "Houstonians next option."
I'm not interested in living in ANY large city again. I'd visit most of the ones on the list, and have visited San Francisco, Chicago, NYC, Washington DC, Boston, Seattle, New Orleans (although not since Katrina) more than once for pleasure. Miami and Houston (throw in Dallas) I've been to before, more than once, and would never go back to. I've lived in LA and NYC and once was enough. Never been to St. Louis.
I Love San Francisco, NYC, Washington DC and LA, but I can't afford any of them and the weather isn't very good in any of them except LA. I'd like to check out Seattle, Houston and Miami, but they all have way too much rain for me to live there.
I voted "other", because I would have picked any city in the desert southwest if the option were available.
Phoenix. Tucson. etc. Beautiful areas! Nice clear weather. Cacti and all that.
I just couldn't deal with the dryness all the time. I'm one of those weirdos who kind of likes humidity. Guess that happens when you grow up in the middle of swampland.
Then again, I guess it's not the cities that I like visiting in the southwest. The cities just aren't that exciting. Sprawly, too.
