I've lived in NYC for 5 years now, and think it's a fantastic place for a single 20-something. I don't like driving, and it's close to other cities in the NE, and if you HAVE to get out and fish, ski, mountain climb, whatever--you can do that in a day's drive.
Santa Barbara is a gorgeous city and if being near family's important to you, that would be a good place to do it.
Could you find a job in any of the cities easily?

This is what it comes down to: im a single 20-something but this city is much much more interesting with $$$. not to say that i havent had fun growing up here, but i was exposed to all sorts of people in college that, though they thought their hometowns and upbringing was lame, i wouldve traded with for a weekend. im sure there are lots of things i wouldve learned/done had i grown up in the suburbs, or say on the West coast, or on a farm. you get my drift. i just think with more money, you can play harder.
[rant]NYC is very 21+ IMO and really its a place to work and play. once you start thinking about raising a family, i'd get the heck outta here, even if it's as close as Westchester/Rockland county. I just wouldnt want a city life for my kids.[/rant]
p.s. im thinking of the whole "where to move next?" thing as well, but my cities are:
Philadephia
Chicago
DC
Charlotte
Houston (or somewhere in Texas, i know, that can vary between cities because its such a big state, its more of a regional move for me)
the only thing is that i feel like these would all be downgrades (no offense to those who live/raised in these placs) but again, where DO you go after NYC?
