These are all great cities and it just depends on what you want. I would encourage you to take a serious look at Minneapolis. I’ve spent a lot of time there through friends and family: lots to do, very diverse, low COL and very high QOL. Yeah, winters are rough though.

I’ve lived in both SD and DC. It really depends on what you’re looking for. SD is great if you’re into the laid back west coast lifestyle, beaches, outdoorsy activities. DC is great if you’d prefer a bigger city scene and the hustle and bustle.

1) Chicago

The others aren't worth ranking.

San Diego does seem to be one of the most desirable, but also kind of conservative, very expensive, and a tad boring.

No idea why SD is so high on this list. You're not military and it doesn't seem like your looking to move somewhere to start a family. La is a much better option in terms of activities and people.

Bain1 yeah LA traffic is a fucking nightmare, it's more expensive, and anything you can do in LA you can do in SD for the most part(on a day to day basis)
