good luck brian in whatever you choose. i can see how getting a new look is appealing to you, as much as i can assume Hawaii to be very nice, i can see why its probably not the only place you wanna live your whole life.
with that said, the list of cities you throw out are some oddballs with respect to ranking/selecting the best
that said, i can't speak on Milwaukee, but i've spent a good amount of time in Houston and also spent some time in Chicago. the best i can say, is that if you are looking for the very urban/neighborhoodie/mass transit vibe, then Chicago is the pick i would select. I had found the city is pretty convenient with respect to getting around, and the city vibe really makes it feel like a decent metropolis. no surprise why its referred to as the second city.
as for the cold, my mom lived there for 2 years at age 50+ with no car and never found it to be something should couldn't deal with. so basically if you are there for a short time and can't deal, than my mom is better than you.
H-Town is fresh. Simple as that. Its big, sprawl is a factor, and depending on where you live, you could either love it or hate it. As said earlier, if you live in the loop, H-Town is actually much more convenient and there is a lot more culture than many give it credit for. Houston medical centers are pretty well known as being some of the best in the country (so your girl would probably get some good connections). Basically, each time i go back to Houston i like it more and more. Me and my girl talk about moving back there (her fam is from there) and when i finally get sick of NYC i probably will.
as for Milwaukee
