Guessing: Expensive housing, natural disasters, jobs do not pay enough, island sickness, homelessness, summer humidity, spam, expensive consumer goods, dangerous roads, locals may not like some of mainlander’s ways, and education.

My guesses are: Memphis, Baltimore, St. Louis, Detroit, Camden, San Bernardino, Flint, East Cleveland, Jackson MS, Baton Rouge, Bakersfield, Rochester, Utica, Syracuse, East Hartford, Troy, Albuquerque, Birmingham, Pine Bluff, Bridgeport, CT and Starrett City
Did a fair amount of guessing to increase the odds, because I am not sure of the size of the city.

Personally I chose Tucson over Co Springs back in 15, and I definitely like it better.
Used to live near Denver, and Co Springs definitely has a different vibe; a more conservative one, and it was definitely safer to walk around within the town/city.
If you ski or snowboard, it would probably be faster to travel to Wolf Creek, Crested Butte, or Northern NM, because I am pretty sure there are no ski areas in the CO Springs area, and making the trip to Denver along 25, and west on 70 will take forever, and once you get to the resort, it will almost always be overcrowded.

Never been to Asheville, but I have been to most areas on the eastern part of NC.
Very familiar with CO as a state, and CO Springs. IMO, CO Springs is bipolar, it is very conservative, and it has a huge Church Influence there. The AF base is there. You look to the east and it is the high plains. If you look or go west, then you have Rocky Mountain scenery. Garden Of ………. and Pikes. Forget ski areas, they are several hours away either in traffic via Denver or more to the southwest (Purgatory, Wolf Creek, Crested Butte, or the Northern NM ones)
IMO, too small, kind of boring, and you can make a 3 day jaunt there and get the idea. Very homogenous housing and commercial property (Chipotle, Starbucks, Walmart etc.). There might be a dispensary or two, Manitou Springs to the west is kind of retro. Essentially, I feel that Co Springs is doing anything and everything, not to become Denverized or like another CALIRODO.
I am more on the conservative side and that is my take on it.
Denver to the north has some of the worst air quality in the country and you will sit on the 25 for 2 plus hours to arrive there.
I would pick Asheville on a whim. Greener, the mountains are majestic, probably more unique, the cost of living will probably be comparable to CO Springs, the local wages are probably not even close to Charlotte (work remotely), more water too, and better fall foliage.
Again making guesses on Asheville, because I have never been to Asheville proper, but I have been all over eastern Tennessee and Western VA (Smoky Mountains and Blue Ridge) and it shares the same biome.
Lived in the southwestern US for a long time (AZ). Definitely avoid most of CA.

Guessing, Affordable housing, taxes, politics, the big one, homelessness, congestion, uptick in crime, cost of consumer goods sans groceries, drought, fires, and any other natural disasters that could follow as a result (I.e mudslides)

These are more than guesses because I live outside of Tucson: Property crime, drugs, schools, bad roads, summer heat, jobs pay less, housing getting less affordable, traffic because of the inadequate interstate system, flooding from summer monsoons, homelessness, seasonal allergies, water is scant, road construction, and a fair amount of dangerous animals.
