If I wasn't born and raised in Houston I would probably say Miami, NY or LA. I'd like to visit them, but I haven't been to Chicago or Toronto, so I can't say if I would include them too.
LAC, NY, or Miami. I would love driving those teams into the ground with my over-dribbling and chucking. triple double no assists (10 PTS, 10 Steals, 10TO) but really. those are really nice cities to live in when you're rich. i love houston but no way i would live there unless i had to.
Miami's one of the filthiest cities in the US, and parts of it closely resemble a Central American country. It's overrun with immigrants and is infested with crime. Have you spent any time in Miami? It seems like your basing your decision strictly on the appeal of South Beach, which is nothing special, IMO.
State taxes, weather and quality of life would govern my choice: Texas, Florida and Tennessee lead the way. How could anybody want to live in a place like California with impossible taxes and earthquakes or New York with impossible taxes and utter filth. San Antonio, Orlando, Dallas, Memphis, Houston and Miami (except for the hurricanes) would be the order of my choices.
Houston is first choice, would love representing the home city. Second is NY....their fans are amazing and that atmosphere is just so awesome.
