It's last thread for this topic. I wondering that would you rather to live in Miami because of sun, beaches, nice sky and other everything. Just discussion there.

PS: That's not including in Broward and Palm Beach County. Its only in Miami-Dade County.

Well... here is how I perceive Miami. Miami is Toronto with palm trees.

Really, I don't think I would. If I was gonna live south, it'd probably be the LA area. LA is naturally beautiful, and I would be able to snowboard in the winter months, while still enjoying fairly mild weather =]. Miami is just flat, sprawled... Like I said, "Toronto with palm trees."

Miami, along with Boston and Washington, is the only US city I'd live in other than NY. Miami is awesome.

Cant deal without real seasons, and the city is too small for my tastes. If I had the money, I would consider a condo for short stays, though.

Yes......definately my favorite US city. I plan to someday, (but will probably go with Davie or one of the other nearby burbs.) I couldnt afford to live in Coral Gables and would have to own my own house, (I cannot live in a condo or apartment.)

Third of a kind

Would I live in Miami?

of course!!!!! for these reasons

1. I have alot of family there
2. The Weather
3. The Women

thats all!!!! but no. 2 and especially 3 are big reasons I would make the move!

I think Atlanta has about 5 million or close to it in the metro area.

Shawn
June 17th, 2005, 03:21 AM
5 million people in a US-style metro isn't very big, and the city itself does not have a "big" feel to it, at least in my opinion. But my take on cities is probably a bit different than most people's: once you live in Tokyo for four years, a place like Miami seems quite small.

June 17th, 2005, 03:24 AM
Well. If there was no chance of living somewhere else, yes. I would.
Definitely not the city I would pick first though. ;)

Why do people care so much about the population?

i know, who cares if the metro is 1 or 20 million? as long as its not in the middle of nowhere

it's getting more fabulous by the minute. It is Wallpaper* magazine's hottest city on the planet, after all.

God... Wallpaper*? I used to read that in the late 1990's. I didn't know it was still around.

Miami has some of the most soulless suburbs ever created by man. An endless grid of subdivisions. Take a look at these satalite photos:

Browse around a bit up there. Prepare to weep.

Those maps are showing Broward and Palm Beach counties. Yes there is some nasty suburban sprawl there but then again, name one US city that doesn't have the exact same thing?

New York, Boston, Washington, Philadelphia, and many others don't have anything that resmebles that. This is sprawl at its worst.
