Are we talking “cleanest” cities? Or best as in most shite to do and see.

If cleanest, SLC and surprisingly parts of Chicago (at least when I was there in 2015). Boise is very clean as well, but not sure it’s big enough to make this list.

If most stuff to do and see, New York, Boston and Washington DC. New Orleans is up there for me as well. I wouldn’t want to raise my 3 young kids in any of these cities though.

I like Orlando, FL. It’s pretty but too damned hot.
I used to like the D/FW area but haven’t been there in decades.
I’ve been to several cities in NY. I’d say Manhattan is pretty cool.

All cities would improve if Lib democrat/pinkos/pedos were removed.

The US has tons of fun cities to visit. I enjoy New York, DC, and Chicago (only been there in the summer, would not want to experience the winter). A little smaller, but San Diego is nice. I also liked Boston, but was only there for one short trip. Nashville is also fun. Unfortunately, they are all worse now than three years ago bc of increased crime and homelessness.

If you are talking about best large US cities to live in, I think my current city of Raleigh is pretty good. Charlotte and Salt Lake City also pretty good. They are smaller than the biggest US cities, but still have decent amenities but less crime and traffic.

San Diego would top your list for me. It’s expensive and filled with homeless, but great weather and plenty to do and see.

I like SLC, but it’s a little bland. Food isn’t great. Alcohol laws are odd. Plenty of homeless and they are more in your face than San Diego.

San Antonio is just too hot for me. We went for Memorial Day and it was so damn hot! And I’ve lived in Louisiana my whole life.

Miami is really cool. I liked it a lot. Haven’t been in summer, but winter weather was great.
Boston is very cool. Only been in the summer and spring, so not sure about the winters.
I get the appeal of Austin, but it’s not necessarily for me. I personally like Houston better. But I get why people would think otherwise. Dallas just seems bland to me, although I haven’t been there in about a decade.

Not in the US, but Montreal is awesome. If not for taxes, I might retire there and snowbird to Miami.

Montreal + Miami. That's an A+ recommendation.

Seattle + Tampa is another decent pairing.

If you’re visiting Boston, it’s best to take the subway and walk everywhere.

I was there recently. The homelessness is on par with SF Austin and Seattle.

You didn't go from SLC to Ogden at 5 pm then. I guess it's like BR to Denham or Pville. Maybe a little further. Stop and go on the highway.

That interstate is under construction. Should fix that problem shortly
