This .. This .. This ..
1) There is more than the Commerce in LA (Bike)
2) Half your list can have severe Winter weather?? What area are you leaving from?
3) 2/5 play is WAY different than 1/2 in most places. You will not be able to bully/steal pots as much and you better know how to play in and out of position. But on the other hand I do tell players that if they are good at 1/2 then 'most' of the 2/5 in Vegas will be comfortable/similar .. so that is a big plus for Vegas IMO.
4) Surprised no one has asked what you consider a 'good' BR to work from .. and how much outside of that will you bring to cover expenses. Please don't rely on winnings/BR to cover your expenses. It's also human nature to spend more cash when in a new place or when you have more 'down time' than in your current life.
I think you have a decent list of options that will have decent 2/5 available 7 days a week. There are other parts of the country that are very strong for poker, but not 7 days a week.
I realize that you don't know what you are looking for until you find it most times but definitely base your decision on more than just poker!! GL
