Quebec City and TO2 are probably out as they are in the east.
I would prefer Austin over Houston. Austin only has an MLS team at the moment, it has a more urban vibe. Feels like a team would be more successful there over Houston.

I believe that Atlanta can make it work, but as long as it has nothing to do with any previous ownership elements. I do agree that they should wait, though, given their track record.
I also agree that Austin would be my preferred location in the US for a new team to land. Houston is a massive city, but there are already so many professional teams that it might be hard to break into the market. Austin is young and affluent with minimal additional professional sports competition like you mentioned. Being able to get a foothold in Austin would likely translate to similar success that has been seen with Vegas.
