Which of these three cities would you like the live in the most? What will be you second choice and third? I'll have to go with Seattle as the #1 choice. It wins with the beautiful scenery, downtown skyline and activities, large Japanese/Asian population, and political atmosphere I can feel comfortable with. CONS: weather, expensive.

Atlanta will be my #2 choice with it's lower cost of living, plenty of urban activities, beautiful 4 seasons with no too extreme temps, close to Appalachians, and Southern food/culture. CONS: High crime rate, racial/social/class division.

San Diego at #3 has the weather, beaches, mountains, low crime rate, good Mexican food, and close to L.A. and Mexico. CONS: High cost of living, lack of rain can get monotonous and risk fire dangers.

San Diego blows both away... for 1 just the weather would kill 99% of US cities
The Skyline is big and growing faster than probably any city in the US
The beaches are dope, Cannot beat the waves, Petco Park downtown is very nice.
Comparing to a city where the Cliffs meet the ocean? common now, La Jolla beats atlanta.

Definately Seattle for me. 4 seasons, far more urban and dense than Atlanta or SD and its natural beauty is tops.

Atlanta for me and it isn't that close.

San Diego is nice as long as you stay away from the druggies and drama queens of Pacific Beach, the gangsters of City Heights and the illegals in San Ysidro. SD suffers from being in California where the liberal politics are running the state into the ground.

Seattle is generally quaint with nice attractions and scenery.

Atlanta is alot like Houston (which is why I like it alot). Great nightlife, booming economy, tons of cultural amenities, great colleges, nice scenery, good proximity to other places etc.

I would choose Atlanta. The others are too expensive.

It would be hard between Seattle and San Diego for me. I love both of them. San Diego I haven't lived in though. I would probably say Seattle overall.
