The city. Everything happens here, faster and pricier than anywhere else.

Sprawl, sunshine, and the global capital of cinema. A car-dependent paradise — if you have a car.

Coffee, Amazon, Microsoft, and Mt. Rainier in the window. Grey winters that locals quietly love.

Bike-friendly Pacific Northwest city. Bookstores, breweries, and a forest inside city limits.

Texas's blue city. Live music every night, BBQ smoke in the air, and the South's best tech scene.

Midwest workhorse with architecture as good as anywhere on earth. Brutal winters, beautiful summers.

Bilingual beach city. Latin energy, art deco, and a flood of crypto money in recent years.

Mile-high gateway to the Rockies. Sunshine 300 days a year, world-class skiing at the doorstep.

Old US city. Cobblestone streets, Harvard and MIT in the suburbs, brutal Atlantic winters.
