Do you live in one of these cities?
---

eh I could see myself in Santa Cruz at some point (currently in SF)
---

I'd probably pick Anchorage.
---

Boulder is the nicest but also costs an ungodly amount of money to live there.

Voted for Pittsburgh

Boulder so I could buy weed legally
---

Annapolis. I loved Maryland.
---

Pittsburgh, home of our lord and savior!!!

Annapolis. I loved Maryland.

Annapolis is the closest to where I grew up, but I have for whatever reason never been there, despite having been to like every other major Maryland city.

Same here

honestly Anchorage is my dream destination

How is Pittsburgh considered a small city?
---

I wasn't aware that 300k was considered small.

And most cities are going to look pretty small when you compare them to the fifth largest city in the country

I'm in Greenville now and I don't get why it makes so many top city/downtown lists
---

Boulder seems cool but it also seems kinda elitist.
---

Tag.

I love NYC. Don't get me wrong. But I need a 1-2 year break in one these small cities.

15) Albuquerque, NM

That's like 100 spots too high. The majority of Albuquerque is a shithole.
---

if the suburbs count, Pittsburgh (current), Anchorage and Boulder.
if we're talking in the city limits, maybe Boulder. But it's still several times bigger than what I'm used to.
---

Anchorage. I'm a masochist and I love the cold and isolation.
---

Navy family, so Annapolis it is.
