Colonizing Earth

After several centuries in exodus, humanity returns to earth to recolonize the planet. Naturally, their first question is the same as mine:

Where are the best place(s) on earth to settle?

Parameters:

• location must be able to facilitate easy access to space
• must be able to maintain a high technology society
• must be able to support a large population in the future (between 250,000 and 500,000)
• bonus if location is near strategic resources (examples: iron ore or oil)
• there are no humans on the planet, so anywhere is a viable landing spot
• assume climate, natural resources, and land masses remain unchanged from the current day -there is to be only one, main settlement

Why my question is different than this one:

• mine is about a human society with stellar technology, not a hunter gatherer society
• mine isn't concerned about creating diverse cultures based on location
• some of the mentioned locations do not meet the criteria I listed above
• this isn't a fresh earth, its the "slightly used" one
