I don't really hate where I live, but I couldn't say I really love it either. There are things that I do like a lot about where I am. It would be better if we did not have so much smog here. Plus, the general cost of living here is REALLY expensive and there is no real good public transportation system. That's the reason I believe that I don't love where I am. I'm still searching for my next place and at this point its hard to say where I would move to if I could.
For purposes of employment, we are currently living in a hell hole state. Why do we consider it a hell hole?
#1- No real mountains to speak of.
#2-Racists and racism galore.
#3- Sauna-like summers.
#4- Bugs galore.
#5-Two-faced a way of life for the natives: nice to face, but will easily talk behind back.
We are heading back toward our homelands: back where the West was won!

It has some nice features and family is here, but it wouldn't be my first choice.
1 Super Long/Hot Summers (for me)
2 Limited Topography/Tree Cover/Recreational Infrastructure
3 Some History/Culture, But Not a Ton
4 High COL/Amenities Ratio (for me, not being much of a beach person)
Places that are high on my list:
1 Cleveland, OH
2 Atlanta, GA (north suburbs)
3 Eugene, OR
4 Fort Collins, CO
5 Reno, NV
6 Morgantown, WV (there are many others, but right now this would be a Top 6)
I currently live in Tampa Area, FL.
1-It is way too hot.
2-Public Transportation is terrible.
3-The city lacks much of an urban atmosphere.
4-The area lacks seasons.
5-The entire area seems like urban sprawl.
6-Very few unique towns.
7-There are bugs year round.
When I graduate high school I plan on going to college in Chicago.
1-Tornadoes, extreme weather
2-Extremely conservative politically and culturally
3-Stark landscape without any mountains, hills, beaches, or tall trees
4-Feels like a big small town; everyone knows everyone and the social culture tends to be insular
5-Urban atmosphere (though improving by local standards) is still almost non-existent and the suburbs aren't on the level of comparable cities
6-Too close to family
These places are on my shortlist. It's tough being that virtually anywhere would be an improvement except for Detroit, Birmingham, St Louis, Cleveland, or Salt Lake City (in my personal opinion). Here are my top 10 though.
1-Denver, CO
2-Dallas, TX
3-Houston, TX
4-Portland, OR
5-Austin, TX
6-Seattle, WA
7-Washington DC
8-San Francisco
9-Charlotte
10-Chicago

There aren't in Denver either, so you might want to push it down your list.
But Denver is on the front range of the beautiful Rocky Mountains.
