Cities to try out in 20s in the US

I'm considering trying out some cities in the continental US due to the 100% remote nature of my job (trying out the digital nomad life, I guess). I am a 22 y/o female and I've been living in Los Angeles for the past 8 months. Even before the devastating fires, I knew that LA was not the city for me. I dislike how car-centric the city is, how long it takes to get anywhere, how un-walkable it is, and have found that the places in LA where I can afford to live/spend my time are not very nice.

I'm looking to try out a few cities by subletting or renting for a month or two at a time. Where would you recommend I try living? I'm pretty open to trying anything, but would especially love for places that have lots of young professionals, not insanely expensive like NYC or SF, and aren't high risk of natural disasters ..

I've considered Denver, Seattle, Chicago, Charlotte, Brooklyn, Philly (where I'm from), etc. Any thoughts? Thanks!
