The huge Metro Areas on the East and West Coasts get all the notice but most people would love to live in a medium-sized city between 50,000 to 200,000 people if they could get a great job there.
You have now been offered a job that can be done online from anywhere. all you need is your brain and a computer connected to the Internet. What are some examples of towns/cities not connected with a large metro area between 50,000 and 200,000 that you could recommend?
I don't really like the college town vibe. So I'll go with state capitals. Places like Helena, MT; Augusta, ME; and Cheyenne, WY would have more activities and culture than most small cities of the same size.
For the record, neither the pandemic nor the riots after George Floyd's murder have made big cities undesirable to me. So what I would want in a small city might not be the same as what others would want.
Maybe the COVID-19 virus will destroy the nice college towns when everyone is forced to leave the campus due to someone getting sick. For example, Cornell is mostly online next term which will destroy Ithica NY.

San Luis Obispo/Pismo Beach is great for a small area. Safe, beaches, mountains/hiking, wineries, vibrant/walkable college area, amazing weather. A few other walkable "villages" around as well.

I disagree with your statement that "most people" would love to live in a medium-sized city. I'm also going to assume you are referring to metro populations?
Missoula
Iowa City
Santa Fe
Rapid City
Napa
Carson City
Two state capitals that just come in under the wire of 200,000 population seem relatively attractive to me:
Providence RI and Tallahassee Fl.
