New Orleans isnt in Florida

i think the answer to this question has to be a city in Florida by virtue of Florida being Florida

Atlantic City

Even if you have a negative opinion of it, it's still Atlantic City

I liked New Orleans a lot when I went there.

Atlantic City is a good answer.

In my experience it's been Los Angeles. Nashville is getting there now that it's getting a larger profile.

Vegas is overrated I think but even as someone who hates casinos it's still pretty firmly in "good city" territory which is enough to put it out of contention here.

LA is fucking awesome but also, the answer is LA.

People from LA will be like "I miss these little cream-filled cookies I used to get at the LA supermarkets :(" and then show you a picture of Oreos. And when you tell them you can get those anywhere they're just like "they aren't the same :("

LA or Austin

LA is a bunch of traffic to get anywhere you want because absolutely nothing is walkable

The only good thing about Austin is the BBQ

As someone who lives in the bay area it's San Francisco, at least as far as west coast cities go (I've never been to the east coast outside of Atlanta for work once)

At least LA has been gentrified by things other than just the tech industry

Las Vegas.

No other city I've been to has multiple people snapping cards with dirty pictures on them when I'm with my family. It's also very hot, albeit a dry heat. Gambling is not appealing either. Their shows are good and it's fun as a tourist to see they allow drinking on the strip's sidewalk, but too bad -- still Vegas.

Atlantic City is basically all this but way worse

and it spawned Monopoly

Yeah, this won't be a popular take, but most cities do suck to live in. I don't understand why people desire to live in them. I mean, if you have to work there, that's understandable...but "let's move to the city" is never something I would say. Give me the suburbs all day.

No thanks on paying more for less square footage and land and having higher prices in general for everything. Then add in crime. Then add in traffic or having to use public transportation. Then add in noise. ...I can't think of a single advantage the city has over the suburbs. I have shopping centers, bars, nightlife, and restaurants right around the corner from me in the burbs.

Suburbs have little personality. They tend to be very samey. Very processed, chain-heavy, etc

I've lived near la and Nashville and I have to tell you LA is hampered by how inconvenient it is to get to the good places. But it does have good places.

Nashville is fine. It's more of a do you fit the style that is there type vibe.

I've also lived in NY and it's hard to call it overrated since theres like something for everyone but most ppl will never experience a fraction of what the city has to offer so normal visitors probably have a shallow experience.

Living there though is different. You appreciate the city but you are also eternally annoyed.

I was going to say one from LA, San Fran or New York. Always heard them hyped up all my life and they were all miserable every time I've had to go there. I don't know why people live there given the cost, I wouldn't even live there if they were the same cost as everywhere else.

Edit: And it isn't that I dislike city living either. I actually prefer being able to walk everywhere but just not those cities.
