It's not 'a city'. It's all east of the Mississippi from the Gulf to the Lakes.

Is this just going by how someone might have felt on a day visit to one of these cities? Is there a way to get an objective answer?

When you factor heat in, I think these are the worst (I've been to all three)

Miami, Houston and New Orleans were the stickiest messes Ive ever experienced. Its true that if youre on the beach in Miami, it feels pretty good because of the breeze, but inland? YUCK. I voted for Houston. It was ungodly hot and humid the week I was there, didnt let up at all, it was awful. Miami is a close second.
