What's the best city to live in the US? (excluding NY, LA)

Tampa is the best city In Florida
Lived in Tampa for 12 years. Rather glad to be gone, but not entirely excited about living back in New York. I definitely prefer Tampa to Miami and Orlando, so I guess that's a plus?
If you're looking for a masters program and an up and coming city to settle in as a young professional, Raleigh NC (and the rest of the Research Triangle) is pretty great.
I was there a month ago and it was EMPTY
Where is everyone?
Feels like you could fit 100,000 more people in that city
That's probably why housing is still affordable. Give it 10 years.
He has a lot of projects going on for the downtown area. A water park and he will be building the shipyards which should be a boon to the city to get another Superbowl. The Jags practice field is also a amphitheatre which has helped bring in more events and concerts.
So as long as he keeps this up I wouldn't be surprised if the pop builds up and the city grows dramatically
Pretty much any significant coastal or near-coastal California city in the SF Bay area or south thereof.
Can't beat the climate, the beaches, or the culture.
Irvine might be my favorite specific city, although it's 30 minutes to the ocean. I appreciate college towns.

Having visited LA frequently and recently, I would also maybe definitely say it's kind of terrible to visit too.
These awful pictures are not selling it like you think they areTampa is the best city In Florida
And they say it gets colder
Yeah I can't tell if he's trolling. That first picture couldn't be a worse picture of Tampa's skyline.
Seriously, the weather here cannot be understated. It's hard to appreciate it fully until you spend some time in other areas.
Any major city in Texas is a great lifestyle choice. (Houston, Austin, San Antonio, Dallas, etc). Lots of jobs, cheap housing, good food ... great mexican/latino cuisine, lots of bars, rich music/festival/concert scene, valuable sports teams/entertainment.
The best thing you can do in Texas is live in a new suburban area outside the major cities (Sugarland - Houston)
The holidays are nice in Texas. It does get cold, though. Many who visit during the summer think it's super hot/humid year round, but it can easily dip into the 30's/20's F during the winter. I see it as a plus.
If I could live anywhere else, maybe outside of a major city in Colorado, like Denver... maybe outside a major city of in Washington state, like Seattle.

I live in Irvine - I love it. Its a bit boring but its safe, quiet, 15 minutes from the ocean via Laguna Fwy and next to the mountains.
The state is beautiful and wonderful, but the cities aren't that incredible or interesting. I've lived and worked in a number of places in CO, and while it'll always be my gorgeous, welcoming home, I don't think its cities are especially fun or exciting. Denver is definitely more interesting than it was a decade ago, but it's still nothing compared to any of the big cities I've been to around the world, or even in the US.
I think the best cities in CO would be Denver, Boulder, and Fort Collins. Pueblo, CO Springs, Durango, and Grand Junction bore me.
I have a soft spot for smaller towns like Evergreen, Grand Lake, and Golden. I find them to be extremely charming.
