I was going to mention SLC. Despite the overwhelmingly Mormon population (or probably because of it) there is a thriving counterculture there. It's beautiful geographically, and housing is disgustingly affordable.
Portland is amazing, as well.
My #1 choice would be San Francisco, if I could afford to live there :-/
I'm afraid the cities on your poll list are at the very bottom of mine, right above "anywhere in Texas."
