Just commenting again here to vouch for this statement. I've spent a ton of time in both cities, and Miami is so different but in my opinion miles better. Constant sun and breezes. 8 months of perfect weather. Actual diversity, not just in ethnicity but also walks of life. Awesome little open bars and restaurants all over at any hour. The people - both men and women, are beautiful. Many people dress nicely and with pride - you'll always see men in nice suits and hats, and women in nice dresses. I just found that interesting as it was so different than most other places, reminded me of something from a movie.

Miami is criminally underrated. Ultimately I just don't enjoy living in a 'big city', but for anyone that does, I highly recommend giving it a try!
