Ask people how they feel about themselves and odds are, you'll get the most positive responses from people who live in metro areas with universities and in the West, according to Gallup's annual survey of national well-being.
Gallup looked at 190 metro areas using a scale in which 100 represented ideal resident perceptions of their living conditions. The top 10 metros in overall well-being are:
1 Lancaster, Pa. (72.9 score)
2 Charlottesville, Va. (72.5)
3 Ann Arbor, Mich. (71.9)
4 Provo-Orem, Utah (71.2)
5 Boulder, Colo. (71.1)
6 Honolulu (70.7)
7 Santa Barbara-Santa Maria-Goleta, Calif. (70.6)
8 San Jose-Sunnyvale-Santa Clara, Calif. (70.6)
9 Fort Collins-Loveland, Colo. (70.5)
10 Appleton, Wis. (70.4)
Exercise: San Jose was the top-ranked big metro area, and 10th-best overall, in providing people with safe places to exercise.
While the pollsters relied on people's own assessments of how they feel, such self-reported measures tend to agree with objective data measuring various aspects of physical and emotional health.

where here's your problem:
rarely will a resident badmouth their own city (to a point)
and honolulu, really?
i can think of 189 better cities to put ahead on that list
between the vog and sketch weather, i dont see how it fits on that list unless it's just a perception
