It's not 'a city'. It's all east of the Mississippi from the Gulf to the Lakes.
This is true, the only difference is the length of the hot humid season. In July and August it is just as bad in Chicago as it is in Atlanta or Nashville. The cities near the Gulf of Mexico, Florida or all the way up the east coast to NYC or Boston have even worse humidity humidity in mid summer because of their location next to the ocean. The eastern half of the USA is just a humid place, and those of us who live here know that. Just ask any westerner who comes here in the summer not expecting it.

Humidity, sure, but not temperature or actual feel (more direct sunlight). GA in August is quite a bit different to live in than Chicago in August, though I agree that it's humid up-and-down the eastern side of the country, and that Chicago has a much shorter hot/humid season than the South.

Sun angle is brutal in Florida. I enjoy it, but not comparable to the midwest or northeast.

Exactly! I avoid traveling anywhere east of Colorado in summer because it's just so disgusting to me. I've lived in Denver and L.A. the past 23 years and can't imagine living in horrible humidity (and the bugs)
And why would L.A., San Diego and Phoenix even be a choice??? Every now and then I'll hear someone complain about the humidity in Denver or L.A. in summer and I just laugh. Real humidity is when you get wet walking from your front door to your car in the driveway. Or you still sweat in the shade.
Miami has twice the votes of Orlando? Clearly we have a lot of unfamiliarity with the topic at hand here.
In reality, Miami is slightly more humid.

This would be true if the question was highest humidity, but I can't stand the dry air so those areas truly are "the worst".
