Atlanta. It's a huge metro with a fairly low cost of living. Fair winter weather (no snow) and the summers are alright too. Lots of smart kids from Georgia Tech, plenty of security-related startups, lots of finance companies, etc. I also recently learned of an early stage tech statup seed funding firm based here (Shotput ventures).
