I dont know about all that, but....
I moved to Ft Worth from a town of 45,000 in California and was amazed at how slow it was here.....
It highlighted if you go between Dallas and Ft Worth.
So my answer is Fort Worth. Probably some of the other sleepy metros; OKC, Jacksonville maybe....
So you are from SLO. I wasn't sure from your screenname... I'm from Santa Maria originally.
Miami, perhaps. Seattle is urban, but not especially "laid back" in the same way that Honolulu and San Diego are. And Denver is one of the least urban big cities. It's more laid back than a lot of other cities, but it often doesn't really feel like a city at all.

Seattle is much more laid back than Miami. I don't think Miami is laid back at all.
So to sum up this thread so far: Pretty much every urban city in the US is laid-back except for a couple in the northeast?
Depends on your perspective. I live in the DC area. Compared to here, New York City and the surrounding areas are definitely faster-paced. It's a constant mad rush there. Boston I'd say is around the same pace as DC. Philadelphia is a little less, but not by much. The same with Baltimore.
However, the difference becomes noticeable once you leave the northeast line of cities and head to other places in the U.S.

Dude...we get it. You aren't a fan of Denver. But the way you describe Denver is way off. I know it isn't anywhere near the most urban city, and that there are plenty of cities that are and feel bigger, but you make Denver sound like it is this...

Not extremely urban, but here are some Google maps images. Google Maps

I agree. Here are some more photos that show some of Denver's urban neighborhoods.
Capitol Hill (Denver's most dense neighborhood). This was the only aerial photo I could find, unfortunately it doesn't show alot of the highrise apartment/condo towers that make up this dense neighborhood. Photo credit: http://beyonddc.com/nonweb/_citypics...er-CapHill.jpg
