San Diego was great the first few times I went. The fourth visit it was kind of Meh.... Still probably a decent place to live though.
San Francisco is all hype. The place sucks balls.
New York city is cool, but overwhelming. Would never want to live there, but is always great to visit. Still every time I leave NYC I'm a bit relieved.
New Orleans is a giant open air sewer. I hate everything about that place. The food is severely over rated and the crime is third world levels of bad. I can understand why someone would visit it, but I lived there for a year and the day I left was the happiest day of my life.
Washington DC is probably my favorite and is very underrated especially amongst Canadians. It's surprisingly a decent place to live even if you're not mega rich.
One city that is a bit off the radar for most is Alexandria, Virginia. Obviously it's part of the DC metro, but it's well worth a trip if any of you find yourselves in the area. So much history and beautiful architecture in the Old Town area.
Miami is also another city that doesn't get much love in western Canada, but it's a super cool place (just not during hurricane season).
Sacramento is surprisingly alright
Agreed with the op, Houston is soul crushingly ugly.
